Imran Khan kept in illegal isolation: Sisters stage protest outside Adiala Jail

Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, once the greatest cricketer, has been in jail since 2023 in multiple cases. He has been subject to various legal and political challenges. Following his remarkable cricketing career, in which he gained fame nationally and internationally, he became involved in politics, founded the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), and eventually became the top political leader in Pakistan.

Former Pakistan PM Imran Khan’s family has once again been prevented from meeting him in prison. In response, the PTI leaders and Imran Khan’s siblings protested outside of Adiala Jail. This demonstration took place on Tuesday evening, led by his sister Aleema Khan, and continued till morning. Media reports suggest that several police officers have also been deployed outside the jail. The sisters have been expressing serious concerns regarding Imran Khan’s health and security.

According to PTI leaders and Aleema, they have been restricted from having any further meetings with Imran Khan. Despite the court ordering a meeting between them on Tuesdays and Thursdays, it is alleged that the government is not allowing this meeting to take place. The family of Imran Khan has claimed that his treatment in prison is not adequate, and held Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s government and the army chief responsible for the situation.
