Concerns over the rule of law in Pakistan have intensified after leaders of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf were denied a meeting with former Prime Minister Imran Khan despite court directives allowing access.

PTI leaders arrived at Adiala Jail to meet Imran Khan but were prevented from doing so by jail authorities. The move has raised questions about the implementation of court orders and the authority of prison officials.

Imran Khan remains in solitary confinement and continues to face restrictions on basic rights, including access to medical care and meetings with political associates. Imran Khan has suffered significant vision loss around 85 percent in one eye due to Central Retinal Vein Occlusion (CRVO), raising alarms about the adequacy of medical care available to him while in detention.

Immediate restoration of access to Imran Khan, including meetings with party leaders, family members, and his personal doctors, and proper medical care is essential given the seriousness of his health condition.
