Imran tells sister he is facing 'severe injustice and torture', says Uzma
K-P CM Sohail Afridi says PTI to approach courts over non-implementation of Supreme Court order
Imran Khan, the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has informed his sister Dr. Uzma Khan that he is facing "severe injustice and torture" during his detention, according to a press conference held at K-P House in Islamabad. Dr. Uzma revealed that her brother had been complaining about his treatment for the past ten months, saying that his health had been unjustly compromised.
The Supreme Court had ordered on Tuesday that Imran be transferred to Shifa International Hospital for medical treatment, but Information Minister Attaullah Tarar stated that Imran had instead been taken to PIMS for a medical examination. Dr. Uzma, who accompanied Imran during the transfer, stated that her brother appeared fit and his blood pressure was normal.
She recounted that Imran compared his treatment to that of former Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi, who was also kept in solitary confinement. Afridi, the K-P Chief Minister, expressed his dissatisfaction with the government's decision to transfer Imran to PIMS instead of Shifa, and vowed to take legal action through a contempt petition.
