   LHC seeks report on Aleema Khan's detention under MPO

   Most outlets reported that the Lahore High Court (LHC) sought a response from Punjab’s home secretary regarding a petition challenging Aleema Khan’s detention under the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) Act. The Express Tribune added that the court declined to suspend the detention order and directed a written application for family and counsel access ahead of a September 28 review. Geo News noted that Aleema’s son filed the petition and that a lawyer argued the detention order was unlawful. Pakistan Observer and Daily Times provided similar framing, with the latter omitting mention of the legal arguments. Dawn included a partial sentence but did not elaborate on the petition’s content or the court’s reasoning.

   Most outlets reported that two of Imran Khan’s sisters, Uzma Khan and Noreen Niazi, were detained under the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) for 30 days, following the earlier detention of his sister Aleema Khan. Several also noted the timing in relation to the planned September 27 protest and mentioned their transfer to Kot Lakhpat jail. While most described the detentions as part of a broader crackdown or in the context of the PTI’s long march, a few, like *Dawn* and *Business Recorder*, briefly mentioned PTI’s condemnation of the arrests. The framing of the detentions as a “crackdown” appeared only in *Pakistan Observer*, while others used more neutral language.
