PTI lawyers meet Imran at Adiala jail following IHC orders

On Wednesday, lawyers representing the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) met with party founder and former Prime Minister Imran Khan at Adiala jail. This meeting occurred after the Islamabad High Court (IHC) issued orders permitting such interactions. On Tuesday, the IHC directed authorities to facilitate meetings between Imran and his legal team during the hearing of appeals filed by Imran and his wife, Bushra Bibi, concerning their convictions in the £190 million reference.

PTI lawyer Awais Younus Chaudhry revealed that Barrister Salman Safdar and Advocate Latif Khosa held the meeting with Imran. According to Chaudhry, the meeting aimed to discuss Imran's under-trial cases. The lawyers stayed at Adiala for four hours before leaving without engaging with media or PTI representatives. The PTI noted that their cell phones were switched off, making it premature to confirm the nature of their meeting with Imran.

Later, PTI released a video of Khosa speaking to reporters about the meeting. In the video, Khosa affirmed that Bushra Bibi was present during the discussion. He mentioned that the conversation primarily focused on Imran's health and the cases against him. Khosa disclosed that Imran suffers from a "blood pressure problem," which has fluctuated significantly but remains manageable.

He further noted that Imran is clinically stable and active, with no further details to be revealed at the moment. Khosa also confirmed that discussions included a potential 28th constitutional amendment but declined to provide more details.

The meeting took place hours after Imran was admitted to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (Pims) for an eye ailment. The hospital stated that Imran was brought in for a medical check-up and follow-up eye treatment on the previous night. His vital signs were normal, and he was clinically stable with no immediate concerns.

Imran has been incarcerated since August 5, 2023, while Bushra Bibi was arrested on January 17, 2025, in a separate case involving the couple and their conviction. The IHC has permitted twice-a-week meetings between Imran, his family, lawyers, and associates, though these gatherings have been limited despite multiple court directives.
