In a display of solidarity with their brother, imprisoned Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan, his sisters staged a protest near the Central Jail Rawalpindi on November 19, 2025. Their demonstration highlights ongoing tensions between PTI members and law enforcement amid restrictions on prison visits.
Imran Khan sisters: Protest and Detention
Aleema Khan, Noreen Khan Niazi, and Uzma Khanum, along with numerous party activists, organized a sit-in on Adiala Road after their requests to meet with Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, were denied. The police instructed the protesters to disperse; however, negotiations broke down. As Aleema resisted the dispersal order, police resorted to water cannons, resulting in the detention of approximately eight to ten PTI supporters, including the sisters.
Release and Statements
Following a brief detention, Imran Khan's sisters were released near the Chakri Interchange. Aleema Khan later addressed journalists, revealing that her sister Noreen was physically dragged by female police officers during the incident. Having been a critical liaison for Imran Khan by conveying his messages to PTI members and the media, Aleema emphasized the importance of their ongoing protests.
Past Incident Involving Khyber Pakhtunkhwa CM
The ongoing challenges of accessing Imran Khan are not isolated. Last month, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi, accompanying PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Khan and Secretary General Salman Akram Raja, was also denied permission to meet with the imprisoned leader. Upon leaving Adiala Jail, Afridi expressed his frustration, stating that he should be granted the opportunity to meet Khan for 'policy guidelines' and questioned the rationale behind the restrictions on such meetings.
