LahoreThree of Imran Khan’s sisters remain jailed past their detention orders.
Their nephew says the orders punish their campaign for Khan’s release, in breach of Article 10.
Punjab authorities detained Aleema Khan, Noreen Niazi and Uzma Khan for 30 days from 20 September, as his party planned a march on Islamabad.
The petition says none of the three is wanted in any case, and the orders expired on 19 October.
Justice Abher Gul Khan hears the petition Thursday.

- cites the 30-day detention order (Sept 20 to Oct 19) that lapsed while the sisters stayed in Kot Lakhpat jail, and the 'false criminal cases' concern
