Police End Adiala Jail Sit-In, Briefly Detain Imran Khan’s Sisters

PTI alleges rough treatment following a denied visit, with no immediate official response.

Overview

  • The protest outside Central Jail Rawalpindi on Adiala Road lasted about 10 hours after family and party members were refused a scheduled meeting with Imran Khan.
  • Police dispersed male demonstrators around midnight before a women’s police unit took Aleema Khan, Dr Uzma Khan and Noreen Niazi into custody.
  • The sisters were placed in a police van, transferred toward Chakri and later released near the Chakri Interchange.
  • PTI accused police of using force, including dragging and water spraying, and said several activists, including some women, were also detained.
  • Opposition figure Allama Raja Nasir Abbas condemned the police action, and reports noted no immediate comment from Punjab authorities or police.
