🇵🇰 There is now a very specific question hanging over ALEEMA KHAN'S DETENTION:
Was she arrested BEFORE the state had completed the process AUTHORIZING HER ARREST?
In a new statement, Imran Khan's sister Rubina Khan lays out the family's case against the 30-day MPO detention of Aleema Khan, Dr. Uzma Khan and Noreen Niazi.
The most striking allegation is chronological.
Aleema was taken into custody on the morning of September 20.
Her lawyers argue that the police report, intelligence committee process and detention order used to justify that custody were completed only afterwards.
They are effectively accusing the state of doing the arrest first and constructing the legal basis for it second.
There are other alleged discrepancies.
The family says Aleema's detention order cites a 2023 FIR but attributes it to the wrong police station. It also says the same Jinnah House case was used despite police having previously cleared Aleema and Uzma of involvement.
Those are claims now being litigated, not findings by the court.
And that distinction matters because the Lahore High Court has so far declined to immediately suspend the detention orders and has instead demanded responses from the authorities.
So beneath all the politics surrounding Sunday's PTI march is a much narrower legal question with enormous implications:
What exactly existed on paper at the moment these women lost their freedom?

They're NOT going to make it easy on them.

“The targeting of Imran Khan’s family and PTI party activists is a flagrant violation of their rights to liberty, freedom of expression, association and peaceful assembly. Such actions speak to the severity of the current restrictions in Pakistan.” -@amnestysasia#AsimLaw
Delaying scrutiny will not make questions about Britain's role in Gaza disappear. The government must establish an inquiry into British complicity in genocide, now.
Important Message from Former Prime Minister Imran Khan from Adiala Jail - 22 July 2025
Note: This tweet is based on the tweet from July 24, 2025.
“Never in the history of Pakistan has any political leader been subjected to the treatment that I am currently enduring. Nawaz Sharif committed corruption worth billions and was nevertheless granted every possible comfort in prison. In contrast, never before has the innocent and apolitical spouse of a political figure been imprisoned under such inhumane conditions as those imposed upon Bushra Bibi.
I am enduring the harshest prison term in the country’s history solely for the supremacy of the Constitution and in service of my nation. The level of oppression and authoritarianism is such that even the water I have for ablution is filthy and contaminated with dirt, unfit for any human being. Books sent to me by my family have been withheld for months. Access to television and newspapers has also been suspended. I have spent countless hours re-reading the same old books, but now even those are no longer available.
All my basic human rights have been violated. Even the minimum facilities accorded to ordinary prisoners under the law and the jail manual are denied to me. Despite repeated requests, I have not been allowed to speak to my children. Political meetings have also been restricted; I am only permitted to meet certain ‘choice individuals’, while all other interactions are barred.
I am waging a battle against a 78-year-old system, and my greatest success is that despite unprecedented oppression, the public stands firmly with me.
On February 8th (2024), the people expressed their trust in Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf by voting for you even in the absence of an electoral symbol. After such a clear mandate, it is the moral and political responsibility of every party member to become the voice of the people. It will be nothing short of disgraceful and condemnable if PTI leaders waste time on internal conflicts at this critical juncture. Anyone found engaging in factionalism within the party will be expelled. I am fighting for the future of our generations, and every sacrifice I make is for that cause. To create rifts within the party at this time would be a direct betrayal of my mission and vision.
The so-called government formed through Form 47 has crippled the judiciary through the 26th Constitutional Amendment. The way biased judges are now delivering blatantly unjust verdicts under these courts is visible to the entire nation. We must launch a robust campaign to liberate the judiciary, for no nation can survive, let alone progress, without judicial independence.”

These masked, armed men carrying automatic weapons are not members of a militia or the TTP. They are officers of Pakistan’s security and intelligence agencies, shooting at the official vehicle of an elected member of Imran Khan’s party in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Provincial Assembly, who also serves as a minister, before abducting him.
This is Pakistan today under #AsimLaw.
Amnesty International has condemned the arbitrary detention of Imran Khan’s family members, including his three sisters, as well as PTI activists, calling the actions a “flagrant violation” of their rights to liberty, freedom of expression, association and peaceful assembly.
Amnesty has called for their immediate release.

🇵🇰 A disturbing video coming out of Bannu, Pakistan, and what worries me most is that we still don’t know what happened to the man in it.
Local accounts identify him as Hashmat Khan, the son of PTI lawmaker Zahid Ullah Khan. The footage appears to show armed men in plain clothes surrounding him and forcing him into a vehicle.
We don’t know who those men are. We don’t know where they took him. And, most importantly, we don’t know whether he is safe.
That uncertainty matters in Bannu, where militant abductions are a real threat and opposition figures have also accused state authorities of enforced disappearances.
Where is Hashmat Khan, and is he safe?

These are not just any criminals. These are the people in charge of Pakistan.
This is how they’ve abducted my family members. Masked, armed men dragging innocents from their houses and taking them to unknown locations.
🚨🇵🇰 BREAKING:
Imran Khan’s family has just released a statement on the detention of his sister, Aleema Khan, and the police operation that followed at their family homes in Lahore.
According to the family, Aleema left home on Sunday and NEVER returned...
Her car was later found at a police station, before they learned she had been DETAINED under Pakistan’s Maintenance of Public Order law.
Police then surrounded the family homes before launching a MASSIVE overnight raid, during which Imran’s other sisters, Uzma Khanum and Noreen Niazi, were detained alongside several relatives and staff.
The family alleges officers kicked down Uzma’s bedroom door, dragged staff from their quarters, and detained family members before taking them away in an armored police vehicle...
They further allege that 20+ officers entered an upstairs section where Aleema’s daughter-in-law was alone with her daughters, aged 2 and 7, attempted to arrest her, and later took her and the frightened children around the house to identify CCTV cameras and recording equipment, which officers proceeded to destroy.
The family says Uzma and Noreen were ultimately separated from the others and transferred to jail, while relatives were given ZERO information about where the sisters had been taken... lawyers and family members have subsequently been denied access to them.
The operation came days ahead of PTI’s planned Sept. 27 March on Islamabad, as Imran remains imprisoned; his sisters had been prominent public links between him and the outside world...
Once again, the Khan family has suffered OUTRAGEOUS human rights abuses that the international community needs to URGENTLY look at!!!
