  "summary": "Imran Khan's cousin, Qasim Zaman, was detained by authorities outside Adiala jail on Tuesday. According to PTI, Zaman had gone to the prison to meet Imran Khan, as he regularly visits the jailed ex-prime minister. The Islamabad High Court had allowed Imran Khan to have meetings twice a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays.\n\nZaman was taken into custody at around 2:40pm at the Gorakhpur Naka near the prison. The Rawalpindi deputy commissioner, Nadeem Nasir, ordered his detention under the Maintenance of Public Order Ordinance for 30 days. The detention order cited letters from police officials, who claimed that Zaman was a political activist who was instigating or planning to organise unlawful assembly, commit violence, or deliver unlawful speeches.\n\nThe police shifted Zaman to an unknown location after detaining him. The Maintenance of Public Order Ordinance allows authorities to order detention and restrict judicial review of such orders, as per Dawn.",
