Story summary

On Sunday, Aleema Khan, the sister of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan, was arrested from her home in Lahore by Pakistani authorities. PTI, Imran's political party, claims this is an "illegal detention" aimed at stifling opposition ahead of a planned protest march on September 27. The arrest order issued by Lahore’s deputy commissioner under the Punjab Maintenance of Public Order Ordinance mandates her detention for 30 days in Kot Lakhpat jail. PTI officials and Aleema's family have demanded her immediate release, alleging political motives behind her arrest, which they see as a punitive measure against Imran Khan's supporters.
