LHC Declines Immediate Suspension of Detention Orders Against Imran’s Sisters

The court issued notices to Punjab officials but refused to suspend the 30-day detention orders against Noreen Niazi and Dr Uzma Khan.

  • On Thursday, the Lahore High Court refused to suspend the detention orders for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf founder Imran Khan's sisters, Uzma Khan and Noreen Niazi, keeping them in custody.
  • The Lahore Deputy Commissioner ordered the 30-day detention on September 21, citing police reports alleging the women's activities were "prejudicial to the public safety and maintenance of public order" linked to May 9, 2023, protests.
  • Counsel for the petitioners, Advocate Rana Mudassar Umar, argued the detention proceedings were unlawful, noting that Uzma had already been declared innocent in the case registered against her.
  • These detentions, which also include sister Aleema Khan at Kot Lakhpat Jail, occur ahead of the party's planned nationwide protest and march toward Islamabad scheduled for September 27.
  • While the court declined immediate suspension, it issued notices to the Punjab government and other respondents, seeking replies regarding the legality of the detention orders.
