Two moves, one buzz.
Nov 12, 2 pm: Dr Uzma Khan and Noreen Niazi, sisters of PTI founder Imran Khan, 74, walked out of Lahore's Kot Lakhpat Jail after Punjab govt withdrew extended detention order under Section 3 Punjab Maintenance of Public Order Ordinance. Lawyer Rana Mudassar Umer confirmed. PTI posted "safely home." They spent 53 days custody — detained Sept 21 ahead of PTI's Sept 27 Islamabad protest march demanding Imran's release.
Third sister Aleema Khan, 66, most vocal, remains detained, plus Bushra Bibi case pending. Son Wali said: “No charge. No trial. Noreen in seventies taken to cardiac hospital two weeks ago, no one told us.”
Nov 10-11 night: Imran taken from Rawalpindi Adiala Jail to Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, Islamabad, for right eye. Doctors gave intravitreal anti-VEGF injection for central retinal vein occlusion, plus BP treatment, per PIMS. Discharged early Nov 13 back to jail. Earlier Supreme Court in Aug ordered civilian hospital care.
Combined, whispers of thaw with Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir — powerful establishment Imran accused of ousting him 2022.
_The News_ Nov 13 citing sources: Uzma and Noreen assured interlocutors via PTI chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi and Lahore officials they would refrain from public statements targeting military leadership. Gohar met Imran Nov 11 with lawyers Salman Safdar, Latif Khosa at Adiala for 4 hours after Islamabad High Court facilitated meeting — discussed 28th Constitutional Amendment, sisters release, Bushra Bibi health, KP politics, and endorsed talks.
PTI aide Zulfikar Bukhari told Reuters in Aug: Imran would not confront military if released. No talks then.
Opposition leader Mahmood Khan Achakzai claimed Oct: Khan facing pressure for exile deal like Nawaz Sharif, Benazir Bhutto — no confirmation.
Aleema Khan before arrest offered conditional truce to CNN-News18: "Won't take Asim Munir's name if... arrange meeting, treat at Shifa International Hospital under family supervision. We only want to save his eye." She alleged lethal conspiracy, claimed Imran warned "Munir would kill him." Medical report submitted to SC alleges irreversible vision damage, 6/6 till Oct 2025, BP fluctuating.
Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi denied deal Thursday at NCCIA Lahore: “Rumours make good story for 2-3 days. Whatever legal rights, they will get whatever relief courts grant. Everything else unchanged.”
No official document of deal. PTI still faces 100+ cases against Imran, jailed since Aug 2023.
Buzz indicates backchannel, but tangible outcome so far limited to two sisters, one hospital jab.
