PTI lawyers reach Adiala jail to meet Imran following IHC orders

Islamabad witnessed a meeting between lawyers representing the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and party founder Imran Khan on Wednesday, following orders from the Islamabad High Court (IHC). The IHC had directed authorities to facilitate such meetings after Imran and his wife Bushra Bibi appealed against their convictions in the £190 million reference.

Lawyers Awais Younus Chaudhry, Salman Safdar, and Advocate Latif Khosa arrived at Adiala jail to meet Imran, who has been imprisoned since August 5, 2023. The court has permitted Imran to meet his family, lawyers, and associates twice a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Despite previous court directives, Imran's interactions with family and party leaders have been limited in recent months.

Safdar met Imran on November 2 for the first time in seven months, during which they discussed legal cases and future strategy. Imran's health was also touched upon during the meeting, though PTI emphasized the focus remained on legal matters.
