Imran Khan's sisters are currently held in detention, but some other family members are planning to visit Rawalpindi’s Adiala jail on Tuesday to meet him, according to a PTI lawyer. The move aims to demonstrate to the Islamabad High Court that the order for weekly meetings between Imran and his family is not being followed. Imran has been incarcerated since 2023, and despite the court’s twice-a-week meeting order on Tuesdays and Thursdays, he has been prohibited from meeting visitors.
In August, one of his sisters, Noreen Niazi, was granted two consecutive meetings, but no other meetings have taken place since. Now, the PTI intends to send other family members to Adiala for a meeting with Imran. Lawyer Awais Younas Chaudhry, who submits lists of party leaders and lawyers to the jail administration, stated that they are not anticipating the IHC orders to be enforced but will still send family members. The lawyer also submitted a list of lawyers who will accompany him for the meeting.
