Imran Khan Marks Three Years in Prison Amid Protests and Rights Concerns

Imran Khan Marks Three Years in Prison Amid Protests and Rights ConcernsPreviousNext

Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has completed three years in prison since his August 2023 conviction in a corruption case, with several other cases pending. His supporters held protests across Pakistan despite police crackdowns and denied permissions in multiple provinces, focusing on a major rally in Peshawar. Amnesty International called for an end to Khan's solitary confinement, citing denial of fair trial rights, restricted family access, and deteriorating health. Party leaders condemned the arrests of their workers and highlighted hardships faced by Khan during detention.
