The Lahore High Court in Pakistan has ordered the prison administration to provide heart medication to Dr Uzma Khan, the sister of PTI founder and former Prime Minister Imran Khan. This was reported by Dawn.

Court hearing

On October 12, Justice Abher Gul Khan heard a petition concerning the preventive detention of Imran Khan’s sisters. It was filed on October 6 by Sakina Niazi, the daughter of Noreen Niazi.

During the hearing, Uzma Khan’s husband, Ahad Khan, said that his wife has heart disease and needs three medications daily. He asked the court to ensure the daily delivery of the medicines to the prison. After considering the arguments, the judge ordered that Uzma Khan be provided with the medication and deferred a decision on personally summoning the Lahore police chief and the deputy commissioner.
