Pakistan arrests three sisters of Imran Khan before protest

🐿️ The Squirrel's Take

Pakistan's government is arresting family members to suppress opposition rather than facing protestors directly in court.

💡 Why it matters

This escalates political repression in Pakistan and may spark wider unrest or international condemnation.

Pakistani police arrested and jailed Imran Khan's sisters Aleema, Uzma, and Noreen for 30 days under a public order warrant ahead of a nationwide protest demanding Khan's release. Their lawyer confirmed the detentions on Monday, part of a crackdown on family and supporters.
