Imran Khan’s sisters Noreen, Uzma released after 50 days in detention

Two of the sisters of PTI founder Imran Khan, Noreen Niazi and Uzma Khan, were released from Kot Lakhpat Jail after spending around 50 days in detention under the MPO law.

Their release followed the withdrawal of their detention orders, PTI lawyer Rana Mudassar Umar confirmed, according to reports. 

Both, Noreen Niazi and Uzma Khan were handed over to Noreen’s daughter, Hajra Niazi, following their release.

Noreen and Uzma were detained on September 21 under Section 3 of the Punjab Maintenance of Public Order Ordinance, 1960, ahead of PTI’s planned protest march towards Islamabad.

Their initial 30-day detention orders were subsequently extended for another 30 days, with the Punjab government informing the LHC of the extension in October. 

Meanwhile, Imran Khan’s third sister, Aleema Khan, remains in custody at Kot Lakhpat Jail.
