Three sisters of jailed former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan have been detained in Lahore, according to family members and officials from the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party. The arrests occurred as the party prepares for a planned march on Islamabad scheduled for September 27, which aims to demand the release of the former leader.
Authorities have confirmed that Aleema Khan, one of the sisters, has been ordered to be held in custody for a period of 30 days. The detentions follow ongoing political tensions surrounding the imprisonment of Imran Khan and the opposition party’s efforts to mobilize supporters for upcoming demonstrations.
