The Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in Islamabad has postponed its decision on whether to extend the physical remand of Aleema Khan and Uzma Khan, sisters of PTI’s founding chairman Imran Khan. The court was reviewing a case related to vandalism at D-Chowk during a PTI protest. Both women were presented after completing their two-day remand.
Advocate Niazullah Niazi argued that the cases against PTI leaders were politically motivated. Judge Abu Al-Hasanat Zulqarnain condemned political victimization and emphasized the need for unity.
Prosecutor Raja Naveed requested an additional 15-day remand, citing testimony from co-accused Adnan, who claimed the sisters provided explosive materials for an anti-state conspiracy. However, lawyer Salman Safdar argued that Aleema and Uzma were not involved in the incident.
During the hearing, Aleema Khan mentioned her frequent court appearances, leading to a light-hearted exchange with the judge. The judge also suggested that Aleema unlock her phone to resolve the issue.
The court has reserved its decision on the prosecution’s request for an extended remand.
