Pakistan's Punjab government extends detention of Imran Khan's sisters
The Punjab government in Pakistan has extended the detention of Imran Khan's sisters, Shahnaz and Gulshan Ali Khan. The sisters were initially detained under the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) law.
The Lahore High Court (LHC) has disposed of a petition seeking the release of Imran Khan's sisters. The court's decision comes after the Punjab government extended their detention. The government cited security concerns as the reason for the extension.
The detention of Imran Khan's sisters has been a point of contention in Pakistan's political landscape. The sisters have been held in detention for over a year, with their detention being extended multiple times. The government has cited security concerns as the reason for their detention, but critics have accused the government of using the MPO law to target political opponents.
The Punjab government's decision to extend the detention of Imran Khan's sisters has sparked criticism from opposition parties and human rights groups. The move has been seen as an attempt to silence the sisters and prevent them from speaking out against the government.
