PTI lawyer Salman Safdar revealed on Monday that he had a 40-minute meeting with party founder Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi at Adiala jail. Imran has been incarcerated since August 5, 2023, while Bushra was arrested on January 17, 2025 in a separate case. Despite multiple court orders, their meetings with family, lawyers, and associates have been limited, occurring only twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
This was Safdar's first meeting with Imran in seven months and with Bushra in 11 months. During the meeting, they discussed their health conditions, living situations, and shared fresh instructions for some legal matters. Imran was jailed for three years for concealing Toshakhana gift details, but both are currently serving a 14-year sentence in the £190 million corruption case, the Al-Qadir Trust case.
Additionally, Imran faces pending trials in terrorism cases related to the May 9, 2023 riots. The couple's sisters and opposition leaders have held frequent sit-ins outside the jail, demanding Imran's release, but their protests have been hindered by recent detentions under the Punjab Maintenance of Public Order Ordinance.
