CTS team seriously handled the case and provided legal support to Iqbal Masih through Mr Nadeem Hussan Advocate High Court. CTS moved a Post arrest bail of Iqbal Masih on Friday, November 10, and the hearing was announced on Monday, November 13, 2017. Today Mr Nadeem Hassan Advocate (legal consultant) Katherine Sapna Director CTS and Mr Salamat Gill Coordinator CTS along with the family members of Iqbal Masih attended the court hearing. Mr Nadeem convinced the learned Judge Ms Afshan Sidra Judicial Magistrate, Modle Town Courts Lahore to grant Post- Arrest bail of Iqbal Masih on medical grounds. CTS is grateful for your kind prayers and moral support in dealing this case wisely and quietly and for the release of Iqbal Masih.
