Imran Khan meets wife and sister for first time in nine months

Former Prime Minister Imran Khan reunited with his wife and sister at Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail for the first time in nine months. The apex court granted weekly family meetings for the incarcerated leader due to health concerns. Khan, the founder of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, has been imprisoned since 2023, serving a 14-year sentence in the Al Qadir Trust corruption case.

Noreen Niazi, Khan’s sister, met him in the jail’s conference room for about 15 minutes to discuss his health and other matters. Khan's sisters Aleema Khan and Uzma Khan, along with his cousin Qasim Zaman, were not allowed to meet him. PTI political leaders were also barred from attending the meeting. Bushra Bibi, Khan’s wife, who is also incarcerated at Adiala Jail, met her family separately on Tuesday.

Their 40-minute meeting included her children, Musa and Mubashara Maneka, both from Bushra Bibi’s first marriage, which ended before she married Khan.
