Pakistani authorities detained three sisters of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan in Lahore ahead of a planned march to Islamabad demanding his release. His sister Aleema Khanum was formally arrested and accused of mobilising supporters for country-wide protests. The detentions come amid heightened tensions between Khan's PTI party and the government over his continued imprisonment. The crackdown highlights the government's efforts to prevent large-scale demonstrations in support of Khan, whose supporters have repeatedly clashed with authorities since his ouster and imprisonment.
