PESHAWAR: The Peshawar Hight Court (PHC) on Wednesday stopped implementation on the federal government’s decision to deport staff of Pak-Turk schools and colleges.
Hearing a petition filed by students of Pak-Turk schools and their teachers, the court issued a stay order against the government’s order to deport 108 teachers and their families from Pakistan.
The PHC has sought a reply from the government on the matter.
There were 108 Turkish staff employed at 26 branches of the Pak-Turk schools and colleges in Pakistan.
Earlier, the interior ministry had asked them to leave the country by Nov 20.
Fethullah Gulen’s led FETO had established Pak-Turk schools in Pakistan.
Turkey says Fethullah Gulen, based in Pennsylvania, was behind the failed July 15 military coup attempt in the country.
