Imran Khan’s sisters Noreen and Uzma arrested, moved to Kot Lakhpat jail
LAHORE: The other two sisters of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder and former prime minister Imran Khan, Noreen Niazi and Uzma Khan, have been arrested and transferred to Kot Lakhpat jail in Lahore, according to family sources and officials. Earlier, Aleema Khan had been arrested on Sunday.
The arrests reportedly took place late Sunday night as authorities continued a crackdown ahead of PTI’s planned nationwide protest on September 27.
Family members said Noreen and Uzma were taken into custody along with their children. The children and other relatives were later released, according to the family.
Following their arrest under the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) law, Noreen and Uzma were transferred to Kot Lakhpat jail.
Lahore Deputy Commissioner issued detention orders for both women, directing that they be held for 30 days. According to the order, the arrests were made amid concerns that their activities could pose a threat to public order.
The latest arrests came a day after police detained another of Imran Khan’s sisters, Aleema Khan, outside her residence in Lahore and transferred her to Kot Lakhpat jail.
The Lahore deputy commissioner subsequently issued a 30-day detention order against Aleema Khan and PTI leader Muhammad Amir under the MPO law.
According to the notification, the orders followed recommendations from the District Intelligence Committee. Police reports cited in the notification said there were concerns that the two could contribute to a disruption of law and order.
