US Monitors Imran Khan's Legal Cases and Health Amid Protests in Pakistan
A senior US State Department official stated that Washington is closely monitoring former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's legal cases and health. Khan has been imprisoned in Adiala Jail since his 2023 conviction in the Toshakhana case and a subsequent land corruption conviction. His party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, has protested for his release amid health concerns. Ahead of a planned protest on September 27, Punjab authorities imposed Section 144 and detained three of Khan's sisters, citing public order concerns.
