PTI Says Imran Khan Held in Three-Month Solitary, Cut Off From Lawyers

Officials have extended a blanket ban on his jail meetings until February 8, 2026, citing national security.

Overview

  • Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf said Monday that Imran Khan has been isolated in a cell for over three months and denied access to legal counsel.
  • PTI alleged that even basic necessities guaranteed under the jail manual have not been provided to the former prime minister.
  • The government initially imposed the no-meetings order after Khan’s public remarks about Chief of Defence Forces Asim Munir and later prolonged it on security grounds.
  • Khan, 73, has been in custody since August 2023, with multiple cases filed after his government’s removal in April 2022.
  • Aleema Khan said her brother remains unbroken and questioned his continued detention, as PTI promotes a February 8 protest over what it calls a stolen mandate.
