The Lahore High Court (LHC) recently ordered jail authorities to arrange a meeting between Noreen Niazi, sister of PTI founder Imran Khan, and her two daughters. This directive came during a hearing where petitioners' counsel Rana Mudassar Umar expressed concern for Noreen's health, noting her elderly status and requesting a meeting to ascertain her condition.
Court officials stated that jail authorities had no objections to the meeting, and a report from the Home Department supported allowing the encounter, citing Noreen's recent hospitalization and subsequent return to jail. Earlier in the week, the LHC had also sought reports on challenges to the detention of Imran Khan's sisters and the medical treatment afforded to Noreen.
The court has now postponed hearing a petition related to Aleema Khan's detention until the following week.
