The Lahore High Court ordered jail authorities to provide heart medication daily to Dr Uzma Khan, sister of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, who has been detained along with her two other sisters under Pakistan's Maintenance of Public Order Ordinance since September 21. During a hearing on October 6, Uzma’s husband and the petitioner's counsel requested additional allowances for clothes, medicines, and meetings for the detainees. The court reserved its decision regarding summoning officials but directed jail authorities to ensure that Uzma receives her necessary heart medications daily.

Story summary
The Lahore High Court (LHC) ordered jail authorities on Monday to provide heart medication to Dr. Uzma Khan, sister of PTI founder and former premier Imran Khan. Uzma, along with her two other sisters Aleema Khan and Noreen Niazi, have been detained for nearly three weeks under the Maintenance of Public Order Ordinance (MPO). They were initially arrested ahead of a postponed PTI protest on September 27, which was later rescheduled to October 4. During Monday's hearing, Uzma’s husband Ahad Khan informed the court that she has a heart condition and requires daily medication. The court also heard requests for basic necessities like clothes, medicines, and spectacles for Noreen. This detention followed reports of a crackdown on PTI supporters before the planned protest to demand Imran's release from jail and rally support for constitutional supremacy.

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.
