Imran Khan's sisters Aleema Khan, Uzma Khan, and Noreen Niazi have reportedly been on a hunger strike for the past two days, according to Imran Khan's cousin, Qasim Zaman. Zaman attempted to meet the former prime minister at Adiala Jail on Tuesday, but was denied entry. The interim PTI Chairman, Barrister Gohar Ali Khan, and Khan's legal representatives also reached the jail but were likewise barred from meeting their client.
Zaman claimed that the sisters initiated their hunger strike due to mistreatment during their detention. While rumors of their hunger strike had been circulating, this was the first time a family member had confirmed the allegations. PTI lawyer Awais Younas Chaudhry stated that they, along with a family member, arrived at Adiala jail at 2 pm and waited until 4:30 pm, but were still denied access to the PTI founder.
He criticized the jail administration for violating orders from the Islamabad High Court and the Supreme Court of Pakistan, stating that the courts seem unable to intervene.
