Pakistan Court Bars Solitary Confinement for Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi, Orders Family Access

Pakistan Court Bars Solitary Confinement for Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi, Orders Family AccessPreviousNext

The Islamabad High Court has ordered Adiala Jail authorities to end solitary confinement for former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi. The court directed that Khan be allowed family visits and telephone calls with his sons, daily access to newspapers and books, and medical care as per jail rules. The ruling followed petitions by Khan's sister and Bibi's daughter alleging isolation. Khan and Bibi are serving prison sentences in corruption cases, which they and their party describe as politically motivated, claims the government denies.
