The Lahore High Court is scheduled to hear a crucial petition concerning the detention of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan's three sisters, who have been held under the Maintenance of Public Order (3 MPO) ordinance. Legal representatives and family members approached the court following their detention, pointing out that female family members who hold no active public office or political portfolio were targeted.
The initial 30-day detention period under the MPO expired without the government issuing an extension order or the Lahore High Court mandating their immediate release. During today's proceedings, the presiding judge summoned the Superintendent of Jail and the Secretary of Interior in their personal capacities to review the legal standing of the continued detention. Observers note that while administrative orders and legal maneuvers continue to prolong the confinement, the judiciary's approach remains closely monitored by political analysts and supporters alike.
