Noreen Khan, sister of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan, has issued a strong statement raising serious concerns about her brother’s treatment while in custody, calling recent developments “not merely oppression, but a blatant crime.”
According to multiple journalists and media reports cited by Noreen Khan, Imran Khan was allegedly taken from Adiala Jail to PIMS Hospital under the cover of night for an eye treatment, kept there for three hours, and then returned to jail in “an atmosphere of extreme mystery and terrifying silence.”
“If this news is true, it is not merely oppression, it is a blatant crime,” Noreen Khan said. “Why does no one have the courage to tell the truth to Imran Khan’s family and lawyers? Who is this being hidden from, and on whose orders? What treatment is our brother being subjected to inside the jail, and why are our family and lawyers being kept in the dark?”
She emphasized the national significance of the matter, saying:
“Imran Khan is not just another prisoner. He is the hope of this nation. To endanger his health is nothing less than an attempt to blind the entire country.”
Noreen Khan issued what she described as a “final warning,” demanding immediate access:
“Immediately allow Imran Khan’s family, personal doctors, and lawyers to meet him, make his complete medical reports public, and inform the nation why and in what conditions our brother was taken to the hospital under the cover of the night.”
She added a stern caution:
“Remember, if even the slightest harm comes to Imran Khan’s eye, this injustice will not be buried in silence. After that, no one else’s eyes will remain safe.”
