Pak ex-PM Imran Khan’s sister arrested in Lahore
Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan's sister Aleema Khan, along with his other two sisters Dr Uzma Khan and Noreen Khan, have been arrested in Lahore, according to a spokesperson for Khan's party, PTI. The arrests took place on Monday following raids on Aleem Khan's home and the abduction of the three sisters, along with their nephews and their children, although the children were later released.
All three sisters have been detained for 30 days under the Maintenance of Public Order law in Punjab province. Punjab police have not commented on the arrests. Khan's party has called for a protest on September 27, which Information Minister Attaullah Tarar has deemed illegal, threatening to prevent any disruption to public life.
Khan has been in jail since 2023, facing 17 years in prison on corruption charges he and his wife deny.
