{ "title": "Imran Khan's Sister Warns of Deadly Crackdown Risks as Supporters Gather Outside Islamabad High Court", "article": "The sister of Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan, Noreen Niazi, has expressed concerns about the safety of her brother's supporters gathering outside the Islamabad High Court. In an exclusive interview, she recalled past crackdowns that resulted in deaths, including the May 9, 2023, unrest, where security forces targeted civilians, including children. Niazi, who personally witnessed these events, urged supporters to be cautious, stating that Imran Khan is being subjected to intense pressure to make a deal. She emphasized that her brother is a leader, not a politician, and his resolve to transform the country is unwavering. Despite her warnings, supporters continue to gather in solidarity with Imran Khan, who has been in custody for an extended period. The PTI leader has advised his supporters against mobilizing due to the risks involved, and his family and lawyers have been denied access to him, fueling speculation about his health. Rumors about Imran Khan's health have created unease, both domestically and internationally, with PTI activists staging a sit-in outside Adiala jail. The government has dismissed these claims, stating that Imran Khan is stable and receiving regular medical care. However, PTI lawmakers have intensified their push for access to Imran Khan, alleging that he is being kept in solitary confinement and criticizing the continued denial of access to his family, lawyers, and doctors. As the situation remains uncertain, Noreen Niazi's warnings serve as a reminder of the risks involved in the ongoing standoff between the government and Imran Khan's supporters."
