  "summary": "Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan's sister, Aleema Khan, has been detained under the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) Ordinance for 30 days. The arrest, made on the recommendation of Lahore police and intelligence officials, comes amid concerns that the two may pose a threat to public safety and order. Aleema Khan and her brother, Muhammad Ameer, were accused of involvement in road blockades and protests following Imran Khan's arrest on May 9, 2023, as well as encouraging workers to damage public and government property. The PTI has condemned Aleema Khan's detention and called for her immediate release, emphasizing that their September 27 protest will remain peaceful and focused on pursuing constitutional and political demands.",
