Pakistan’s Punjab Government Extends Detention of Imran Khan’s Sisters by 30 Days
Authorities said the move followed a deputy commissioner’s recommendation and kept the three sisters in custody under preventive detention rules.
- On Monday, the Punjab government extended the detention of Aleema Khan, Noreen Niazi, and Dr. Uzma Khan by 30 days under the Punjab Maintenance of Public Order Ordinance, 1960.
- Authorities originally detained the three sisters at Kot Lakhpat Jail in late September following a crackdown on efforts to mobilize support for the jailed Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf founder.
- Shahrez Khan, Aleema's son, filed a petition last week challenging the detention, but the Lahore High Court disposed of the matter after reviewing a government report on Monday.
- Former federal minister Moonis Elahi termed the detention illegal, alleging it is "politically motivated and part of a wider crackdown on the party and its leadership." PTI leaders also criticized Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz.
- The detentions occurred amid nationwide protests demanding the release of Imran Khan, who has been in jail since August 2023 facing multiple cases described as politically motivated by his party.
