Barrister Saif increasingly concerned over Imran Khan's health

K-P adviser says ban on visits to Imran Khan in jail has led to growing anxiety among PTI workers and supporters.

Barrister Saif, the information adviser of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, has expressed serious concerns regarding the health of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, who is currently in prison.

During a press conference, Barrister Saif responded to the ban on visits to Imran in jail, stating that alarming reports about his health are circulating, according to Express news.

The prohibition on visits has led to growing anxiety among party workers and supporters.

He questioned the reasoning behind the restrictions on visits to a detained individual and highlighted the unlawful detention of rescue and police personnel.

Reports of violence against detained officials and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) workers have also surfaced, prompting Saif to call for accountability.

He mentioned that legal action will be pursued against responsible officials if allegations of abuse are confirmed.

Barrister Saif reiterated that if violence continues against individuals from their province, they will respond decisively.

He condemned the current government for its alleged violations of human rights and mentioned incidents of vandalism at the KP House in Islamabad, which he labelled as an attack on federalism.

Security Measures Heightened at Adiala Jail

Earlier this week, in a recent announcement, Adiala Jail placed a temporary suspension on all prisoner visits until October 18.

This ban is comprehensive, affecting all forms of meetings, including those with family members and legal representatives, specifically targeting high-profile detainees such as Imran Khan.

The decision to impose such restrictions reportedly stemmed from growing security concerns ahead of the forthcoming Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in Islamabad.

Authorities have intensified security protocols in the twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi, where Adiala Jail is located, in anticipation of the event.

The Punjab government is overseeing the enforcement of this ban, which is not limited to prominent inmates but extends to all prisoners housed within the facility.

Previously, Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi expressed allegations that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party intended to disrupt the SCO summit, reinforcing the government’s commitment to maintaining order during this critical period.
