Police arrest Aleema Khan, sister of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan
Pakistani authorities have arrested Aleema Khan, the sister of imprisoned former Prime Minister Imran Khan, at her residence in Lahore. The arrest occurred shortly before a planned political demonstration organized by Khan's party.
Aleema Khan, the sister of Pakistan’s incarcerated former Prime Minister Imran Khan, was taken into custody by police at her home in Lahore. The arrest was confirmed by a spokesperson for the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party.
While the specific charges leading to the arrest have not been fully detailed in initial reports, the timing of the detention is notable as it coincides with preparations for a significant protest march organized by the PTI. The party has frequently alleged that the current government is using legal and police actions to suppress political opposition and prevent supporters from mobilizing.
Government officials have not yet provided a comprehensive public statement regarding the specific legal grounds for the arrest, leaving a gap in the official narrative compared to the claims made by the PTI. The situation remains fluid as supporters of the former prime minister continue to navigate ongoing legal challenges and restrictions on public assembly.
