Imran Khan’s Sisters Noreen, Uzma Released from Kot Lakhpat Jail

ISLAMABAD: (Special Reporter) -Two sisters of former prime minister and PTI founder Imran Khan, Noreen Niazi and Uzma Khan, have been released from Kot Lakhpat Jail, according to sources.
The two were arrested on September 21, ahead of a planned long march towards Islamabad scheduled to begin on September 27. The march, announced by then Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi, was intended to demand the release of Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, among other demands.
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) subsequently postponed the march until October 4.
Noreen and Uzma’s detention came a day after the arrest of their sister, Aleema Khan, on September 20. All three were detained under Section 3 of the Punjab Maintenance of Public Order Ordinance, 1960, commonly known as 3-MPO, with their initial detention period set at 30 days.
The detention orders were challenged in the Lahore High Court on the same day, with a petition seeking immediate suspension of the notifications. However, the court rejected the request four days later.
