Imran Khan Family Access Blocked, Rights Violated: Concerns Grow Over Solitary Confinement

Imran Khan’s sisters and supporters gathered outside the prison on the scheduled day of a family meeting, where they planned to peacefully recite the Quran for Imran Khan’s wellbeing and in remembrance of PTI martyrs.

The authorities responded by spraying dirty wastewater on the gathering, forcing people to disperse. Despite clear court orders, Imran Khan’s sisters were once again denied permission to meet him.

Khan continues to be held in solitary confinement, and repeated denial of family access has intensified concerns that justice is no longer available through legal means. The actions reflect a deep fear of Imran Khan’s message and its resonance with the public, rather than any lawful security concern.

Incident highlights the prevailing reality of “Asim Law,” where power overrides court directives, human rights are sidelined, and legal processes are reduced to instruments of control. Human rights advocates warn that the continued defiance of court orders and suppression of peaceful religious activity further erodes the rule of law.
