Imran Khan's Sister Arrested, Accused of Mobilising His Supporters

BBC World reports that Aleema Khanum, the sister of Pakistan's former prime minister Imran Khan, has been arrested. She is accused of mobilising her brother's supporters ahead of country-wide protests. The allegation is about organising rather than violence, which puts the arrest in the crowded space between politics and policing. Whether the accusation holds is a question for a court; the timing, ahead of planned demonstrations, is the part supporters and critics will read very differently.
