Imran Khan’s Sisters Lead New Adiala Sit-In as Noreen Files Police Assault Complaint

The renewed protest follows repeated refusals to allow family access to the jailed PTI founder.

Overview

  • Imran Khan’s sisters and senior PTI figures returned to Adiala Road for an extended sit-in after another denied meeting, with police blocking them at checkpoints and stopping attempts to march toward the jail.
  • Noreen Niazi lodged a formal complaint with the Punjab inspector general alleging a brutal assault on peaceful protesters last week, stating she was grabbed by her hair, thrown to the ground, and dragged.
  • Her complaint also alleges unlawful detention of women protesters and claims streetlights were switched off before the police action.
  • Videos circulating on social media showed Noreen visibly shaken, while Aleema Khan accused female police personnel of dragging her along the road.
  • The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan called for a transparent investigation, and KP Chief Minister Sohail Afridi formally objected to the alleged assault and blocked visitation in a letter to Punjab’s leadership.
