Inhuman Treatment’: Imran Khan’s Solitary Confinement and Deteriorating Eyesight Challenged in Islamabad High Court

The Breakdown

  • The Legal Action: Aleema Khan, the sister of the former prime minister, formally submitted the writ petition through prominent legal counsels Barrister Salman Safdar and Salman Akram Raja.

  • The Core Argument: The petition points out that no court of law has ever sentenced the 74-year-old PTI leader to solitary confinement in either the Al-Qadir Trust or the Toshakhana-II cases. Despite this, jail administrators have allegedly kept him in strict isolation for nearly 22 hours a day over the last six months without any legal justification.

  • The Respondents: The legal filing names several top officials and institutions as parties to the case, including the Superintendent and Deputy Superintendent of Adiala Jail, the Inspector General (IG) of Prisons Punjab, the Chairman of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB), the Director General of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), the Medical Superintendent of PIMS hospital, and the state.

  • Violation of Rights: The defense argues that this continuous forced isolation bypasses standard prison rules and amounts to a direct breach of basic constitutional protections and international human rights standards
