Pakistan High Court orders no solitary confinement for Imran Khan, wife Bushra Bibi

The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Tuesday directed jail authorities to ensure that former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi are not kept in solitary confinement while serving their prison sentences.

The court also ordered authorities to facilitate family meetings with Khan as permitted under jail rules and make arrangements for telephone conversations between him and his sons.

IHC Justice Khadim Hussain Soomro passed the order while holding maintainable petitions challenging the alleged solitary confinement of Khan and Bushra Bibi, who are currently lodged in Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi.
