Overview
- Barrister Salman Safdar met Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi at Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail for about 40 minutes on Monday, November 2, after repeated applications to prison authorities.
- Safdar said both prisoners briefed him on their health and living conditions and gave fresh legal instructions, but he described the time as insufficient to address all pending cases.
- The Islamabad High Court has listed a National Dialogue Committee petition seeking broader meetings for Nov 5, and it fixed the couple’s appeals in the £190 million Al‑Qadir Trust case for Nov 10.
- Courts including the IHC and the Supreme Court have ordered medical examinations and regular lawyer and family access, yet prison authorities have only sporadically allowed meetings, prompting repeated court petitions.
- PTI leaders rejected media reports that Imran welcomed the removal of the K‑P government and said no political instructions came from the meeting, while the access dispute has intensified tensions and could affect the party’s protest plans and legal strategy.
