Pakistan’s Rawalpindi Police have filed a case under the Anti-Terrorism Act against the sisters of former Prime Minister Imran Khan and several leaders and supporters of his party.
The case names Imran Khan’s sisters, Aleema Khan and Noreen Niazi, along with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders and workers. The FIR was registered at Saddar Beroni Police Station.
The case is related to a protest held outside Adiala Jail. PTI leaders said the protest happened after authorities did not allow family members and lawyers to meet Imran Khan, who is currently in jail.
Police said that violence took place during the protest and that public property was damaged. They added that more than 50 people have been named in the case, which has been sent to an anti-terrorism court.
PTI has rejected the police claims and called the case political revenge. The party has also asked the international community to take notice of the situation.
