The Anti-Terrorism Court in Rawalpindi has rejected the request made by former Pakistani Prime Minister, Imran Khan, to allow him to speak to his children once a week via WhatsApp.
The judge, Malik Ejaz Asif, had heard the request filed by the founder of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, Imran Khan, to have a telephonic meeting with his children.
In response, the jail administration submitted to the court that as per the jail manual, there is no provision for allowing any accused to have a WhatsApp conversation with their relatives.
The court had previously ordered that the former Prime Minister, Imran Khan, be allowed to speak to his children twice a month.
