Bushra Bibi moves FCC for early hearing of sentence suspension appeal in Al-Qadir case
Says that further delay could put her remaining eyesight and overall health at risk
Bushra Bibi, the wife of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan, has asked the Federal Constitutional Court (FCC) for an early hearing of her appeal against her conviction in the £190 million Al-Qadir Trust case. She is suffering from a progressive eye condition and requires urgent medical attention. Bushra and Imran are currently in Adiala Jail, where they were sentenced to 17 years in December 2025 and 14 years in January 2025, respectively.
The application states that her eye condition, diagnosed in March, has already progressed and requires immediate medical intervention. The FCC had not scheduled a hearing for her appeal, even though it was filed on July 31. The petition argues that the prolonged delay has caused "grave prejudice" to her health and eyesight.
