  "summary": "Aleema Khan, sister of PTI founder Imran Khan, has been detained by authorities for 30 days under the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) Ordinance. According to an order issued by Lahore Deputy Commissioner Muhammad Ali Ijaz on September 20, Aleema Khan and Muhammad Ameer were detained for posing a threat to public safety and maintenance of public order. The order cited police reports alleging that they were involved in road blockades and protests following Imran Khan's arrest on May 9, 2023, and had encouraged workers to damage public and government property.\n\nThe PTI has condemned Aleema Khan's arrest, with Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan demanding her immediate release. According to Daily Times, Gohar said the party wants its September 27 march to remain peaceful and political, and seeks to pursue its constitutional and political demands without violence.\n\nAleema Khan's detention was confirmed by multiple sources, including the PTI and Deputy Commissioner Muhammad Ali Ijaz's office. The PTI Central Information Secretary Sheikh Waqas Akram alleged that Aleema was \"abducted\" from outside her home in Lahore and demanded that she be presented in court immediately.",
