Police in Pakistan have arrested Aleema Khan, the sister of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, at her home in Lahore, according to a spokesperson from his political party, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). The arrest occurred ahead of a planned PTI march, which the party has condemned as an illegal attempt to silence Aleema Khan over Imran Khan’s ongoing imprisonment. Imran Khan, currently jailed, has been a central figure in Pakistan’s political landscape, and his sister’s arrest has drawn attention to the tensions surrounding his party’s activities. The PTI has not provided further details about the planned march or the specific charges against Aleema Khan. The situation highlights the continued political unrest in Pakistan and the challenges faced by Imran Khan’s supporters.
