Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan is “completely safe and healthy” inside Adiala Jail, according to the Prison Department, which released detailed information on his current living conditions amid ongoing concerns raised by party leaders and supporters.

Officials said six rooms in a prison barrack are reserved for the incarcerated former prime minister, who is provided weekly access to his wife, Bushra Bibi, for a meeting inside the jail.

They added that Khan has access to television and newspapers and is permitted to order food from outside once a week, which typically includes “desi” chicken and fish.

According to prison sources, security inside Adiala Jail is monitored through 300 cameras.

They stressed that all visitors who enter the jail’s premises are granted meetings strictly under jail manual rules, but matters occurring outside the prison boundaries are not the jail administration’s responsibility.

The clarification comes at a time when PTI leaders have been staging protests over restricted access to Khan.

The Prison Department maintains that all procedures being followed are lawful and in line with jail regulations.

Aleema Khan files contempt of court petition

Meanwhile, Imran Khan’s sister Aleema Khan filed a contempt of court petition in the Islamabad High Court over being denied a meeting with her brother.

The petition names the Adiala Jail superintendent, the federal interior secretary, and the Punjab home department secretary as respondents.

The petition alleges that the court’s March 24 order allowing the meeting was not followed and requests that responsible officials be punished for contempt of court.
