Detained since September 20th for nearly three weeks, Aleema Khan, Noreen Niazi, and Dr Uzma Khan were initially held for 30 days on September 21st ahead of a postponed PTI protest call. During a hearing before Justice Abher Gul Khan on Friday, petitioner's counsel Rana Mudassar Umar alleged that the three sisters had not received medicine or clothing during their detention. However, Justice Khan noted that Aleema was provided with clothes and medicines but only after court orders were issued. This highlights ongoing concerns about detainees' access to basic needs and legal rights in Pakistan.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
