The Lahore High Court has blocked the five Americans arrested in Pakistan last week from being deported or being handed over to the FBI.
In an order, the court directed all the government functionaries, including federal government or provincial governments not to hand over the alleged detainees to any American agencies or any other foreign agencies.
The five were arrested on Wednesday amid suspicion that they were plotting terrorist attacks.
