Families move LHC to meet Imran’s detained sisters

Families of Imran Khan's detained sisters have filed civil applications in the Lahore High Court, requesting permission for their lawyers and family members to meet the sisters. The petitioners are Shah Raiz Khan, Aleema Khan's son, and Sakeena Niazi, Noreen Niazi's daughter. Their claims revolve around the alleged denial of medical care and the prohibition of visits from family and counsel.

The sisters, Aleema Khan, Noreen Niazi, and Dr Uzma Khan, have been held in preventive detention for 30 days, prior to the PTI's planned protest in Islamabad. Despite the families' claims of improper detainment, the court declined to intervene on September 24.
