  "account": "Islamabad witnessed a poignant meeting on Tuesday as Imran Khan's sister, Noreen Niazi, visited him at Adiala jail for the second consecutive week. This meeting aligns with the Supreme Court's (SC) directives, which mandated such interactions once a week. The court's order came in response to Imran's petition filed in May, which also stipulated telephone conversations with his sons twice a week. The SC's directions prompted family members to commit to not speaking to the media, ensuring confidentiality during their visits.

The lawyer also urged the government to adhere strictly to the court's directives, including the transfer of Imran to Shifa International Hospital for medical treatment. Notably, on August 18, the SC had ordered Imran's relocation to Shifa within two days, although he was initially moved to Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS). In October 2025, the Islamabad High Court directed the Adiala jail superintendent to implement a March 24 order reinstating the twice-weekly meeting schedule for the PTI founder.

In March 2025, the IHC had directed jail authorities to permit such meetings, but persistent allegations of hindrance continued to surface.",
