PTI Backs Government-Led Jail Inspection After Adiala Sit-In Dispersed

The step signals limited de-escalation following police curbs on family access to Imran Khan.

Overview

  • PTI agreed to a government proposal to form a committee, recommended to be chaired by Rana Sanaullah, to review the facilities provided to the party founder at Adiala jail.
  • Police dispersed the factory checkpoint sit-in near Adiala at about 2 a.m. after protests led by the PTI founder’s sisters over blocked visits.
  • Family members and party leaders were refused visitation on Tuesday as jail meeting hours ended, continuing recent restrictions on access.
  • Authorities deployed reinforcements, positioned prison vans and water cannon, and reduced lighting around the protest site as part of contingency planning.
  • Separately, Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto concluded a state visit marked by multiple MoUs and the conferment of the Nishan-e-Pakistan, while the Islamabad High Court admitted a fake-degree case against Justice Tariq Jahangiri.
