Meeting attempts
Sisters write to Punjab chief
In a letter to the Punjab police chief, Khan's sisters said they were assaulted without provocation. "We peacefully protested over concerns for his health condition. We neither blocked roads nor obstructed public movement....Yet, without warning or provocation, the streetlights were abruptly switched off...What followed was a brutal and orchestrated assault by Punjab police personnel," Noreen said. "At the age of 71, I was seized by my hair, thrown violently to the ground, and dragged across the road," she added.

According to Khan's party, he is being kept in solitary confinement. A lawyer associated with his legal team told the media that even books, essential items, are being restricted. "The law of the jungle prevails here...No one else has any rights," said Khalid Yousaf Chaudry. Sohail Afridi, the Chief Minister of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, was also not allowed to meet Khan. Afridi tried seven times to see him in jail, but the jail staff turned him down.
