Pakistani police arrested Aleema Khan, sister of jailed former prime minister Imran Khan, at her home in Lahore, Punjab. The arrest took place roughly a week before Imran Khan's political party, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), is scheduled to organise a planned protest march.
Neither the police nor the government have publicly explained the reason for Aleema Khan's arrest. As a prominent businesswoman, she has been an outspoken supporter of her brother since his imprisonment. The timing of her arrest, coinciding closely with the PTI's planned demonstration, is expected to heighten tensions between the party and the authorities. Over recent years, government authorities have repeatedly clashed with PTI supporters and detained senior party figures.
