Story summary

The Lahore High Court (LHC) ordered jail authorities on Monday to provide heart medication to Dr. Uzma Khan, sister of PTI founder and former premier Imran Khan. Uzma, along with her two other sisters Aleema Khan and Noreen Niazi, have been detained for nearly three weeks under the Maintenance of Public Order Ordinance (MPO). They were initially arrested ahead of a postponed PTI protest on September 27, which was later rescheduled to October 4. During Monday's hearing, Uzma’s husband Ahad Khan informed the court that she has a heart condition and requires daily medication. The court also heard requests for basic necessities like clothes, medicines, and spectacles for Noreen. This detention followed reports of a crackdown on PTI supporters before the planned protest to demand Imran's release from jail and rally support for constitutional supremacy.
