Overview
- Rawalpindi police dispersed a sit-in outside Adiala Jail, blocking routes and briefly detaining Aleema, Uzma and Noreen before releasing them at the Chakri Interchange.
- The protest followed another refusal of a meeting on a scheduled visiting day despite an Islamabad High Court directive permitting access on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
- PTI says Imran Khan has spent about 30 days in solitary confinement with no family or lawyer visits since December 2, while jail officials deny mistreatment and report his health is fine.
- Government and prison authorities maintain that meetings are suspended on security grounds to prevent the jail from serving as a coordination hub for unrest.
- PTI is pursuing protests and conditional dialogue, assigning Sohail Afridi to lead a street movement and empowering Mahmood Khan Achakzai and Allama Nasir Abbas to conduct negotiations.
