She remarked, "We know nothing, they aren't telling us anything, nor are they allowing anyone to meet him. " This statement has become a grave concern for Imran Khan's supporters and the international community, as denying a prisoner access to their family is widely considered a violation of human rights. According to Noreen, they've not been allowed to meet Imran Khan for the past four weeks, although some other reports suggest this period could extend to six weeks.
PTI Party Members Also Barred
Noreen Niazi further revealed that it isn't just the family but also members of Imran Khan's party who are being prevented from meeting him.

Concerns Over Mistreatment of Women

Noreen Niazi also expressed deep concern over the alleged mistreatment of women during protests in Pakistan. She stated, "The police have been ordered to stop us, and believe me, they've also been allowed to do whatever they want with us. This has never happened before in Pakistan. Nor has anyone ever insulted women in this way, while this is the first time in Pakistan that these people have been allowed to beat people, without considering whether there is a child, an elderly person, or a woman in front of them. " This statement raises serious questions about the human rights situation in Pakistan and indicates the extent to which force is allegedly being used to suppress protests, while such treatment towards women, children, and the elderly can foster fear and resentment within society.
Family's Protest and Ongoing Struggle
Imran Khan has three sisters: Noreen Niazi, Aleema Khan, and Dr. Uzma Khan. According to available information, all three sisters have not been.

The family's unity and public defiance are an attempt to pressure the government to bring transparency regarding Imran Khan's health and safety and to allow them to meet him. This development further complicates Pakistan's political and social landscape, where such treatment of a former prime minister raises questions about the country's democratic values.
