What the coverage shows

All five outlets focus on the arrest of Imran Khan’s sister or sisters in Lahore and connect it to planned protests or a march, with the party’s account as the main source in Sky News and the South China Morning Post. The Guardian US is the only one to foreground a wider crackdown on family and supporters, while BBC News alone says Aleema Khanum is accused of mobilising supporters ahead of country-wide protests. Sky News and Channel 4 News name Aleema Khan specifically, whereas the Guardian and South China Morning Post refer to three sisters.
