Imran Khan’s Sisters Lead New Adiala Jail Sit-In as Access Denied Again

Authorities keep a visit ban imposed after the army’s rare public rebuke, escalating a standoff over custody rights and medical access.

Overview

  • Police blocked the sisters and PTI leaders at checkpoints, citing expired visiting hours, as security around the Rawalpindi prison was expanded under Section 144.
  • PTI leaders say courts have permitted family and lawyers to meet Khan, yet access has been repeatedly refused in recent weeks.
  • A PIMS medical team examined Khan in jail, but PTI rejected any report by government doctors and demanded independent physicians.
  • PTI’s parliamentary party agreed to form a committee to review Khan’s jail facilities and vowed to use legal and parliamentary forums to press its case.
  • The government has ruled out talks that include Khan after ISPR labeled him a security threat, while officials have raised possibilities such as treason charges and a Punjab Assembly motion seeking a ban on PTI.
