Ayyan’s name to be removed from ECL, court orders

KARACHI: The Sindh High Court gave orders to remove model Ayyan Ali’s name from the exit control list on Monday.

The model had placed a petition in the court requesting that she be allowed to accompany her ailing mother for her treatment abroad. Her lawyer told the court that his client had already been granted bail on the money laundering case which she was being tried for.

The additional attorney general asked the court for time to implement the orders, after which the court stayed its decision for a further 10 days.

Ayyan’s name had been placed on the ECL on November 20, 2015. She was arrested from the Benazir Bhutto International Airport in March last year after custom officials discovered over half a million dollars in her suitcase.
