  "account": "The Lahore High Court (LHC) requested a report on Friday regarding the medical supplies, clothing, and other basic necessities provided to the sisters of former PTI leader Imran Khan, who are currently in detention. Imran's three sisters, Aleema Khan, Noreen Niazi, and Dr Uzma Khan, have been held under the Maintenance of Public Order Ordinance (MPO) for nearly three weeks. Dr Uzma Khan and Noreen were detained for 30 days on September 21, shortly after Imran's call for a protest that was postponed to October 4. Aleema was detained on September 20.\n\nDuring a hearing on Friday, Justice Abher Gul Khan addressed petitions filed by Aleema's son, Shahzair Khan, and Noreen's daughter, Sakeena Niazi, against the alleged denial of medicine and access to family and counsel. The counsel argued that the sisters had been detained for 19 days but had not received the necessary medical care or clothing. Justice Khan noted that Aleema had been provided with clothes and medicines, but her lawyer claimed these items were given only on court orders and not before.\n\nThe judge directed the jail authorities to specify the items needed, stating that only court-approved items would be allowed into the jail. Counsel requested permission to provide medicines, clothes, books, and food to the sisters. The judge stated that the court would seek reports from the jail superintendent regarding these applications. Umar also asked the court to hear the main petition challenging the sisters' preventive detention, which would be considered after the delivery of medicines and clothing. The hearing was adjourned until October 12.",
