IHC directs Adiala jail authorities to keep Imran, Bushra Bibi out of solitary confinement
Court also directs the superintendent of Adiala Jail to submit an implementation report to court within 15 days
The Islamabad High Court (IHC) recently ruled that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi should not be kept in solitary confinement at Adiala jail. The court also ordered that Imran be allowed to meet his family and provided with telephone access to his sons, as long as conversations are not used for political purposes.
The court directed the Adiala jail superintendent to report back on the implementation within 15 days. The ruling came after Aleema Khan and Mubashra Khawar Maneka filed petitions challenging their confinement. The court cited judicial precedents from the Nusrat Bhutto and Begum Shamim Afridi cases, which did not involve solitary confinement.
