Daily Times: PESHAWAR: Peshawar High Court (PHC) Chief Justice Dost Muhammad Khan has directed a woman accused of running a brothel to “improve herself” by attending classes at a mosque every day for a month, reports BBC News. The PHC chief justice made mosque attendance part of her bail conditions. He said she must visit the cleric for a month for “rectification through religious teachings”. Khan issued the order while granting bail to four women accused of running a brothel and an alleged male client. He said the cleric at the mosque must submit a report on the woman’s progress once the month has been completed, reports BBC. The court also asked the police to ensure the cleric provided them a report once the allotted time had elapsed. The defendant’s lawyers argued that police had concocted a case against her.
