Rawalpindi ATC Cancels 11 Arrest Warrants for Aleema Khan After Adiala Sit-In Clash

The decision moves her case toward a November 26 hearing on whether anti-terror provisions apply.

Overview

  • Police ended a roughly 10-hour PTI sit-in outside Adiala Jail, briefly detaining Imran Khan’s sisters before releasing them near the Chakri Interchange.
  • PTI alleged women were dragged and manhandled during the operation and shared videos showing a visibly shaken Noreen Niazi, while authorities offered no immediate detailed response.
  • Aleema Khan appeared before the Rawalpindi Anti-Terrorism Court, which revoked 11 outstanding warrants and halted ongoing steps to confiscate her property.
  • The court accepted hearings on removing Section 7 of the Anti‑Terrorism Act from her case and on restoring frozen bank accounts, with arguments set for November 26 and five witnesses summoned.
  • PTI and allied opposition leaders condemned the police action and announced a nationwide ‘black day’ protest to press claims of constitutional and human rights violations.
