LHC summons Lahore DC over Imran Khan sisters' detention

Justice Abher Gul Khan ordered the DC to appear on 4 November and allowed Noreen Niazi's daughters a one-hour jail meeting on Tuesday.

Justice Abher Gul Khan directed the Punjab Home Department to file reports by 2pm on pleas over the sisters' custody.

Aleema, Noreen and Uzma Khan were held under the Punjab Maintenance of Public Order Ordinance, 1960, then given a further 30-day extension.

Counsel argued the extension was unlawful and that family and lawyer meetings were blocked.

Noreen Niazi was moved to the Punjab Institute of Cardiology after doctors at Kot Lakhpat Jail raised health concerns.

PTI Secretary General Salman Akram Raja told the court Aleema Khan's driver had also been detained.
