On February 10, 2026, the Sindh High Court (SHC) disposed of over 100 petitions challenging the detention of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) workers under the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) ordinance, following the Sindh government's decision to withdraw the MPO orders. According to Dawn, the provincial government decided to release nearly 300 PTI workers, with the 'documentary process' for their release already underway. The SHC had directed the Sindh government to withdraw the MPO orders, warning that failure to do so would result in court orders against the authorities. Barrister Ali Tahir, representing the detainees, highlighted that 'over 187 families were being affected by illegal detention orders,' accusing the police of conducting illegal raids on the homes of party workers (Dawn, February 10, 2026).
