Khan Sisters Lead Sit-In After Visit Barred Again, Allege Intelligence Control of Courts

The family says court-ordered visitation rights have been blocked for weeks.

Overview

  • On Tuesday, Imran Khan’s sisters and PTI leaders staged a sit-in near Adiala Jail after security blocked multiple routes and prevented another scheduled meeting.
  • The protests persist despite a March 24, 2025 Islamabad High Court order allowing twice‑weekly visits on Tuesdays and Thursdays, according to Dawn’s reporting cited by Hindustan Times.
  • Aleema Khan alleged Pakistan’s intelligence agencies are influencing judicial proceedings, claiming unidentified officials have “seized” courtrooms to shape outcomes.
  • She said security personnel separated her and her sisters inside Rawalpindi’s Anti-Terrorism Court, restricting contact with lawyers, and described road closures that hampered religious gatherings.
  • Aleema called for a Khatam-e-Quran outside the jail and urged a nationwide shutdown, while supporters highlight claims that Khan has been kept in solitary confinement for about three months and denied legally mandated visits by family and counsel.
