Speculations over former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s whereabouts are rife across Pakistan after his three sisters were “brutally” assaulted by the police for seeking a meeting with their brother last week.
Pakistan On Edge As Imran Khan’s Sisters Assaulted At Jail And Social Media Fuels Death Speculation According to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf members, Imran’s sisters — Noreen Niazi, Aleema Khan and Dr Uzma Khan — were camped outside Adiala Jail when police personnel assaulted them “for seeking a meeting with Imran Khan”. What followed was a brutal and orchestrated assault by Punjab police personnel,” Noreen Niazi said. “Police’s conduct was part of a broader and troubling pattern of indiscriminate force used against peacefully protesting citizens over three years, reflecting a troubling impunity,” she said. “Police’s conduct was wholly criminal, illegal, morally reprehensible, and in direct contradiction to the foundational duties of any law enforcement agency in a democratic society,” she added.
“We peacefully protested over concerns for his health condition. We neither blocked roads nor obstructed public movement, nor engaged in any unlawful conduct. Yet, without warning or provocation, the streetlights in the area were abruptly switched off, deliberately casting the scene into darkness. Noreen Niazi also accused the police personnel of slapping and dragging women present outside the jail.
