Sisters of Ex-Pm of Pakistan Imran Khan Arrested in Islamabad

Jailed former Pakistan Prime Minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan’s sisters — Aleema Khan and Uzma Khanum were arrested by the police in Islamabad while they were holding a protest at D Chowk in the city.

Aleema and Uzma were arrested after they arrived at the D Chowk following a protest call given by Imran Khan.

“Former PM Imran Khan’s sister Aleema Khan has been arrested by the police at D Chowk for exercising her right of Peaceful Protest. Such is the state of affairs in Pakistan under a fascist regime where citizens have been completely ripped of their fundamental rights,” PTI said in a post on X.

In another post, the PTI said, “Imran Khan’s sister Uzma was also illegally arrested from D Chowk. This fake government is a victim of panic”.

In a tense political atmosphere, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) supporters, under the leadership of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, advanced towards D-Chowk.

Imran is in jail since his arrest on August 5, 2023. He faces numerous legal cases, with convictions in several of them. His party continues to stage protests, calling for his immediate release.
