‘Imran wants movement for his release expedited’

Dr. Uzma Khan, brother of PTI founder Imran Khan, has expressed concerns that her brother is suffering from severe anxiety and mental torture due to being held in solitary confinement. The PTI leader fears he may face the same fate as former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, who passed away while in isolation. Dr. Uzma stated that Imran Khan, who has been denied human interaction for the past ten months, is currently being assessed at Pims, but he has no access to news or television during this time.

Despite being declared medically fit, Imran Khan's vision remains partially impaired due to a minor hemorrhage. The PTI-led opposition alliance has announced plans to protest on September 27, demanding his immediate release.
