Imran Khan's sister, Aleema Khanum, alleges Pakistan's intelligence agencies have interfered with the judicial process, claiming courts are controlled by 'shadow forces' to ensure dictated verdicts. She stated that she and her sisters were confined during a court hearing and that unidentified officials are present in the judge's chambers, undermining judicial independence. Khanum also claimed authorities are preventing peaceful prayer gatherings and recitation of the Quran, citing strategic road closures as evidence of this alleged suppression.
