On Wednesday, lawyers representing the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) met with party founder and former prime minister Imran Khan at Adiala jail, following orders from the Islamabad High Court (IHC). The court had previously issued directives allowing such meetings on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Imran's lawyers, including Barrister Salman Safdar and Advocate Latif Khosa, discussed under-trial cases during a four-hour meeting with Imran, according to PTI lawyer Awais Younus Chaudhry.
After the meeting, the lawyers remained at the jail, leaving it without speaking to the media or PTI representatives. Imran had been hospitalized at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (Pims) for an eye ailment, where his vital parameters were reported to be normal and his examination was clinically stable. He has been incarcerated since August 5, 2023, while his wife was arrested on January 17, 2025, in a separate case.
The IHC has permitted Imran to meet with his family, lawyers, and associates twice a week, but actual meetings have been limited. In November, Safdar met Imran after a seven-month hiatus, focusing on legal cases during a one-hour discussion. While health issues were touched upon, PTI leaders emphasized the importance of addressing the legal matters at hand.
