  "summary": "Imran Khan's sisters, Uzma Khan and Noreen Niazi, have been detained under Section 3 of the Maintenance of Public Order law in Lahore. According to Dawn, they were detained for 30 days, along with their sister Aleema Khan, who was taken into custody a day earlier. The Lahore Deputy Commissioner's Office ordered their detention under the Punjab Maintenance of Public Order Ordinance, 1960, citing that they were \"prejudicial to public safety and maintenance of public order\".\n\nThe detention orders stated that Uzma and Noreen were involved in the May 9 protest and had motivated workers to damage public and government property. The authorities also claimed that they were mobilising workers through social media and public meetings to create a law and order situation. The sisters will remain in custody under the superintendent of Central Jail, Kot Lakhpat.\n\nPakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf condemned the detention of Imran Khan's sisters, calling it an \"illegal and high-handed action\" and an abuse of authority. The party had called for a countrywide protest and march to Islamabad on September 27 to demand Imran Khan's release from jail and mobilise people for the supremacy of the Constitution.",
