Pakistan's authorities have arrested three sisters of former Prime Minister Imran Khan ahead of planned protests demanding his release from prison. According to The Guardian, the sisters—Aleema Khan, Uzma Khan, and Noreen Niazi—were detained for 30 days under a warrant accusing them of threatening public order. Meanwhile, Al Jazeera reported that police have sealed major highways leading to Islamabad in preparation for a planned march by Khan's supporters. Deutsche Welle cited Khan’s sons, who claimed that their father is in poor health and being isolated from family and medical care. They also confirmed that other family members have been detained ahead of the protests. The crackdown has intensified concerns among Khan’s supporters, who allege that the government is targeting his family and supporters to prevent the protests. No official statements have been made by the government regarding the arrests or the planned demonstrations.
