Punjab Government Extends Detention of Imran Khan's Sisters by 30 Days
Pakistan's Punjab government has extended the detention of former Prime Minister Imran Khan's three sisters—Aleema Khan, Noreen Niazi, and Dr. Uzma Khan—by 30 days under the Punjab Maintenance of Public Order Ordinance, 1960. Detained since late September at Lahore's Kot Lakhpat Jail amid a crackdown on PTI support efforts, their detention extension was recommended by the Lahore deputy commissioner. A petition challenging their detention was dismissed by the Lahore High Court, which has sought official responses for the next hearing. PTI leaders have criticized the extension, calling the cases politically motivated.
