In an interview published by The Times, journalist Christina Lamb highlighted serious concerns raised by Aleema Khan and Imran Khan’s sisters regarding the former Prime Minister’s prison conditions in Adiala Jail.
According to the interview, the family told that Imran Khan has been kept in prolonged isolation for several months, denied regular family meetings despite court orders, and restricted from contact with his lawyers and sons. Aleema Khan claimed that his health has deteriorated significantly, including concerns regarding severe damage to his eyesight, while demanding immediate access to independent medical treatment and examination by specialists.
The report further described the weekly sit-ins held outside Adiala Jail by Khan’s sisters, who say they continue protesting despite barricades, police restrictions, and repeated denial of visitation rights. They argued that the ongoing treatment of Imran Khan is politically motivated and aimed at breaking his resolve and forcing him out of politics.
The article also referenced concerns raised by PTI leaders and international cricket figures regarding Khan’s prison conditions and access to medical care, while noting that Pakistani authorities maintain that legal procedures and medical protocols are being followed.
The interview has once again drawn international attention to the conditions surrounding Imran Khan’s imprisonment, his legal battles, and the broader political situation in Pakistan.
