Aleema Khan, the sister of the founder Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan, has revealed details of how, along with her sister Uzma Khan, was arrested during the Islamabad protest.
Sardar Qadeer Advocate posted a video on X (formerly Twitter) in which Aleema Khan said that federal capital police arrested her following an interview she gave to a journalist, stressing, “We were not committing any violation at that time.”
She said, “Section 144 was imposed, not a curfew; I could have been arrested only if the curfew was imposed.”
Aleema Khan revealed that many elderly women around 60 to 80 years of age were detained by federal police in the same cell as her, and the police didn’t provide them medicine for two days.
Imran Khan’s sister said that they were deceived when the police shifted them to the I-H police line instead of presenting them before the court, and added, “We were apprehended, not even served food or medicines for multiple hours on the last day. The next morning, we did not have cash; police collected money to buy food and then served us breakfast.”
She demanded that authorities provide proof of the section 144 violation allegedly committed by the elderly detained women: “If it were proven, they would embrace even ten-year imprisonment.”
