The government of Pakistan has barred Imran Khan, the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, from meeting visitors in Adiala Jail due to “security threats.”
Express Tribune on Tuesday, March 12, cited Pakistani officials as reporting that Adiala Jail authorities, where Imran Khan is currently imprisoned due to security threats, have canceled all visits for Imran Khan for another two weeks.
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party also confirmed that the order to ban meetings for Imran Khan has been enforced from Tuesday for at least two weeks.
The party condemned the two-week ban on all visits, meetings, and interviews within the Adiala Jail premises on Tuesday.
Gohar Ali Khan, the defense lawyer of PTI, declared the ban on meeting with the party’s founding leader as illegal, expressing regret over the sudden imposition of a ban preventing anyone, including family members, from meeting Imran.
Referring to two alleged assassination attempts targeting Imran Khan, he stated that “Khan’s life is in danger.”
Pakistani media, citing officials, reported that some intelligence documents mention an imminent attack on Adiala Jail, but the details of these intelligence documents have not been disclosed.
It’s worth noting that besides Imran Khan, other leaders of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party, including Shah Mahmood Qureshi and Pervez Elahi, are also imprisoned in Adiala Jail.
The Central Jail Rawalpindi, also known as Adiala Jail, is a famous prison in Pakistan, with around 4,500 inmates held for various crimes including murder and terrorism, according to Wikipedia.
