Pakistan’s crackdown has now extended to Imran Khan’s family.
Khan remains imprisoned, while his wife, sisters and other family members have faced arrests or detention, with multiple reports emerging of further arrests involving his relatives.
The crackdown comes just days before PTI’s September 27 march, as authorities move against the party and its supporters ahead of the planned mobilisation.

Pakistani authorities on Sunday (September 20, 2026) detained Aleema Khan, the sister of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan, ahead of a planned protest by his party next week.
PAKISTAN INTERNATIONAL ALERT
@Aleema_KhanPK , sister of jailed former PM @ImranKhanPTI , has been arrested at her Lahore home ahead of the September 27 Long March. The military-backed government is accused of using arrests, intimidation and legal restrictions to suppress peaceful dissent. The act of pressure on the judiciary to facilitate laws restricting protest raise an even more serious threat to constitutional rights. International media and human-rights bodies must demand independent scrutiny, judicial independence and the protection of peaceful assembly. @FCDOGovUK@EP_HumanRights@hrw@UN_HRC@Europarl_EN
Reuters, citing a spokesperson for the Punjab chapter of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), reported that police arrested Aleema Khan, the sister of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, at her home in Lahore today.
🔹 Pakistani authorities have stepped up security in Islamabad ahead of the nationwide protests, which are expected to focus on the PTI’s demand for Imran Khan’s release. The former captain of Pakistan’s national cricket team has been in prison since August 2023.
Our home is under siege. Both ends of our street have been cordoned off, effectively placing our entire family under house arrest.

My mother, Aleema Khan @Aleema_KhanPK, was abducted a few hours ago. We still have no information about where she is being held. Leaving her family in the dark about her whereabouts is indefensible.
If cowardice had a face, this politico-military government would be it.
