Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan's party announced on Monday that his three sisters had been arrested. According to Zulfi Bukhari, a spokesman for Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, the sisters and their children were taken into custody but later released, except for the children who were released. All three sisters - Aleema Khan, Dr Uzma Khan, and Noreen Khan - have been sent to Kot Lakhpat Jail in Lahore.
The arrests came after Punjab police issued two separate orders for their 30-day detention under the Maintenance of Public Order law. Khan's party plans to call for a protest on September 27, but Information Minister Attaullah Tarar denounced the call as illegal, threatening to prevent the protest from blocking roads and disrupting people's lives.
Khan has been in jail since 2023 and was sentenced to 17 years in prison on corruption charges he denies. Khan, a former cricket captain, served as prime minister from 2018 to 2022 before being removed in a no-confidence vote amid political tensions with Pakistan's military.
