In Rawalpindi's Adiala Jail, Imran Khan's sister Noreen Niazi was granted permission to meet with the former Prime Minister on Tuesday. The Supreme Court had ruled that the PTI leader be allowed weekly family visits. Imran Khan has been incarcerated since August 5, 2023, for concealing details of Toshakhana gifts and is serving a 14-year sentence on a £190 million corruption case.
Although an order from the Islamabad High Court permitted the ex-premier to have meetings twice a week with his family on Tuesdays and Thursdays, Imran Khan has been unable to meet visitors for several months. On Tuesday, Noreen Niazi was among the family members who were allowed entry, alongside his wife Bushra Bibi. However, other sisters Aleema Khanum and Dr Uzma Khanum were denied entry at a security checkpoint on Adiala Road.
Bushra Bibi also met with family members in a jail conference room, discussing health and legal matters. Aleema expressed a desire for her sister Noreen to meet Imran Khan, stating that they would discuss his health. Noreen informed Imran about the Supreme Court's decision to transfer him to Islamabad's Shifa International Hospital for a medical checkup.
