PTI counsel meets Imran, Bushra Bibi at Adiala jail

Barrister Salman Safdar met with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi at Adiala jail on Monday. This was the first meeting for Imran in seven months and for Bushra Bibi in 11 months. The 40-minute session covered various legal matters, but Safdar noted it was insufficient to address all cases.

Both Imran and Bushra Bibi shared updates on their health and living conditions, and provided new instructions regarding several cases. Imran Khan has been serving prison sentences since August 5, 2023, for the Toshakhana case and the £190 million Al-Qadir Trust corruption case, with a recent conviction in a second Toshakhana case in December 2025.

He also faces trials in terrorism cases linked to the May 9, 2023 riots. Imran's health has been a concern, with a recent diagnosis of central retinal vein occlusion. Despite court orders allowing meetings with family and associates, his access has been limited in recent months. Imran's sisters, Aleema Khan, Noreen Niazi, and Uzma Khan, have been leading frequent sit-ins outside the jail to demand his release.
