ISLAMABAD
\nThe PTI said late on Tuesday that police manhandled and \u201cviolently detained\u201d the sisters of ex-premier Imran Khan from outside Adiala jail in Rawalpindi, where they were camped out after being denied a weekly meeting with the party founder.
\nThe PTI had held a protest outside the jail on Tuesday, where Imran is currently incarcerated, but the jail administration did not allow party leaders and the PTI founder\u2019s family to meet him. Subsequently, the party held a sit-in outside the jail and criticised the prison administration for violating the court order in this regard.
\nIn a post on social media platform X after midnight, the party said Aleema Khan, Noreen Niazi and Dr Uzma Khan were \u201csitting peacefully\u201d outside the jail when the police action happened.
\nIt added that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Local Government Minister Meena Khan Afridi, MNA Shahid Khattak and other party workers, including several women, were \u201csubjected to violence and picked up by police\u201d.
\n\u201cWhat should be routine weekly court-mandated family visits, in accordance with Imran Khan\u2019s rights as a prisoner, are being used as a tool of oppression and violence against his family members and supporters,\u201d the party said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
