Aleema Khan petitions IHC to end Imran Khan’s isolation.

Aleema Khan, the sister of Imran Khan, the founder of the PTI, has filed a complaint against his purported solitary confinement in prison with the Islamabad High Court.

Aleema Khan listed the jail superintendent, Inspector General of Prisons, NAB chairman, DG FIA, and PIMS medical superintendent as respondents in the plea submitted to the Islamabad High Court.

According to the petition, the PTI founder is being held in solitary confinement for 22 hours a day, while Bushra Bibi is purportedly being held in confinement for 24 hours, according to information revealed during a lawyer’s meeting on April 8. It further stated that for the previous six months, neither a family member nor a party leader had been permitted to meet the PTI founder.

Imran Khan’s appeal in the 190 million-pound lawsuit will be heard by the IHC on June 29.

The petition claims that the PTI founder’s isolation constitutes to cruel treatment and that no court decision identifies solitary confinement as a component of his sentence.

The petition further claimed that Imran Khan told his attorney at a meeting that he had an 85% vision impairment. It said that solitary confinement is one of the most severe types of punishment, even though his sentence never called for it.

Aleema Khan asked the court to rule that the PTI founder’s solitary incarceration was unlawful.

Barrister Salman Safdar filed the petition. Bushra Bibi’s daughter had previously filed a separate appeal against her purported solitary detention.
