Lahore Police Detain Imran Khan Sisters Aleema, Uzma, & Noreen

News Desk
LAHORE: Law enforcement authorities in Lahore have taken Noreen Niazi and Uzma Khan into custody, following the earlier detention of their sister Aleema Khan amid heightened political tensions in the provincial capital.
The detentions mark a swift escalation in the ongoing crackdown against key family members and senior figures associated with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
According to initial reports from local authorities, the sisters were apprehended near a major thoroughfare as police intensified security measures across Lahore. The actions follow a series of recent protests and unannounced demonstrations linked to the opposition party.
Legal representatives for the PTI have condemned the move, labeling the arrests as part of a systematic effort to silence political dissent and intimidate the party leadership’s inner circle.
The latest arrests are expected to further polarize the country’s volatile political landscape, heightening friction between the state apparatus and opposition loyalists. Political analysts suggest that such aggressive measures could provoke broader demonstrations and intensify legislative standoffs, potentially derailing any prospects for meaningful political dialogue in the near term.
Law enforcement officials indicated that further legal proceedings and formal charges against the detained individuals will be announced in due course.
Meanwhile, PTI leadership has called for emergency consultative meetings to formulate a robust legal and political response, even as security remains on high alert throughout major urban centers in Punjab.
