What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) continued protests demanding the release of Imran Khan from custody. Ahead of a planned march toward Islamabad, Imran Khan’s sisters, Dr Uzma Khan and Noreen Niazi, were detained in Lahore for 30 days under the Punjab Maintenance of Public Order Ordinance, 1960. Khan’s sons alleged that their father was being held in poor conditions and denied access to appropriate medical care, urging authorities to allow an independent medical assessment and transfer him to Shifa International Hospital.

The ongoing pressure on Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s government regarding Khan’s release could increase political tensions and affect the country's financial market risk and volatility.
