LAHORE: The families of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) founding chairman Imran Khan’s detained sisters have approached the Lahore High Court, seeking permission for themselves and their lawyers to meet Aleema Khan, Noreen Niazi and Dr Uzma Khan.

Advocate Rana Mudassar Umar filed two separate civil miscellaneous applications on behalf of Shah Raiz Khan, son of Aleema Khan, and Sakeena Niazi, daughter of Noreen Niazi, in the pending main writ petitions on the matter.

The applications challenged the alleged denial of medicines and meetings of Mr Khan’s three sisters with their family members and counsel.

They contend that the sisters have been illegally detained and that neither their lawyers nor family members are being allowed to meet them or deliver medicines.

They state that medicines were provided to them only on one occasion, but no one has subsequently been allowed to meet the sisters.

The pleas express serious concern over the health of the detained sisters of the PTI founder and seek court directions to allow their lawyers and family members to meet them and provide medicines to them.

The three sisters had been detained for 30 days, ahead of the PTI’s protest march on Islamabad.

On Sept 24, the LHC had turned down a request to immediately suspend the notifications for their preventive detention.
