Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's sister, Uzma Khan, has filed a second contempt of court plea in the Supreme Court over the alleged violation of a family meeting order. The petition, filed on September 2, 2021, names Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Rawalpindi Central Jail Superintendent Sajid Baig, Punjab Inspector General of Prisons Mian Salik Jalal, Ministry of Interior Secretary Ahmed Sarwar Raza, and Islamabad Capital Territory Chief Commissioner Sohail Ashraf as respondents.
Uzma Khan alleges that the court's August 18 order, which allows Imran Khan to speak to his sons virtually and meet his sisters weekly, has not been implemented. Specifically, she claims that Imran Khan was not allowed to meet his sisters on Tuesday and has not spoken to his sons since March. The petition also requests the court to take steps to enforce the August 18 order, particularly regarding meetings and phone conversations between Imran Khan and his family members.
