Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan's two sisters, Nooreen Niazi and Dr Uzma Khan, have been released from Kot Lakhpat Jail in Lahore after nearly two months in detention.
According to sources, PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan played a key role in securing their release through special efforts.
PTI legal adviser Rana Mudassar Umar confirmed their release in a post on social media platform X, stating that Dr Uzma Khan and Nooreen Niazi had safely returned home.
The two sisters were taken into custody on September 21 under Section 3 of the Punjab Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) Ordinance, 1960. Their arrests came ahead of protests announced by PTI.
Another sister of Imran Khan, Aleema Khan, was also taken into custody on September 20. However, no information about her release has emerged so far.
The release of Nooreen Niazi and Dr Uzma Khan comes after their nearly two-month detention at the Lahore prison.
