IK’s sisters arrested ahead of protest

Imran Khan's sisters, Uzma Khan and Noreen Niazi, were arrested in Lahore on Monday in anticipation of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's (PTI) September 27 protest, according to the party's spokesperson, Sheikh Waqas Akram. The arrest of Imran's other sister, Aleema Khan, had occurred the previous day, with Lahore Deputy Commissioner ordering her detention for 30 days.

The PTI spokesperson stated that the sisters, along with their children and the sons of Aleema Khan Sahiba, were taken to an unknown location in an armoured vehicle. The PTI strongly condemned the illegal act, describing it as a violation of fundamental rights and political victimization. The party called for the immediate disclosure of the sisters' whereabouts and their safe return, emphasizing that they must be produced before a court of law.
