Aleema Khan files petition in Islamabad High Court against Imran Khan's solitary confinement
Aleema Khan, the sister of Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan, has filed an important petition in the Islamabad High Court. The purpose of this petition is to challenge the alleged solitary confinement of Imran Khan in prison.
This legal petition was submitted through Barristers Salman Safdar and Salman Akram Raja. The petition takes the stance that the PTI founder is being kept in isolation without any court order, which is a violation of prevailing prison rules.
Aleema Khan states that her brother has been isolated from other prisoners and strict restrictions have been imposed on his meetings. According to her, Imran Khan is not being allowed to contact the outside world, causing grave concern for his lawyers and family.
The petition requests the court to immediately end this alleged solitary confinement of Imran Khan. Aleema Khan demands that the former Prime Minister be provided all the rights and facilities that a prisoner is entitled to under the law. It remains to be seen what decision the court will announce regarding this matter.
