Police in the Punjab province took into custody the three sisters of former Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan, according to a statement released by his Tehreek-e-Insaf party on Monday.
Khan, who led the country from 2018 to 2022, has been held behind bars since 2023. Last year, he was handed a 17-year prison sentence following a conviction on corruption charges.

It’s quite brave of the sisters to stay visible despite the risks. One hopes they aren’t treated harshly while detained.
Another step in a downward spiral for Pakistani democracy. The rule of law seems to be taking a backseat here.
I’m surprised they went after his sisters specifically. What charges are they facing, and will they get a fair trial?
Is this really about the law, or is it about silencing Imran Khan’s remaining support network? Very suspicious timing.
This is deeply alarming. Arresting family members of a political opponent feels like retaliation, not justice.
