Bushra Bibi Supports Imran Khan Release
The court's decision to allow Imran Khan to communicate with his sons and receive medical checkups has been seen as a significant development in his ongoing detention, with supporters viewing it as a crucial step towards upholding his fundamental rights and ensuring his safety and well-being.
Azam Swati, a leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, has vowed to continue his struggle for the release of former Prime Minister Imran Khan from prison, praising China's support and urging Army Chief General Asim Munir to respond to public sentiment.
During his court appearance, Swati accused every institution in the country of being destroyed and called President Xi Jinping a "friend" for China's support. He emphasized the need for General Asim Munir to consider the public's demand for the release of Imran Khan and other innocent PTI prisoners. The PTI party has been actively seeking Khan's release, citing his detention as unjust and politically motivated.
In a related development, a Pakistani court has dismissed a review petition filed by Adiala Jail authorities to revoke privileges granted to Imran Khan. The court had earlier allowed Khan to make international phone calls to speak with his sons living abroad and receive medical checkups from his personal doctor. The jail officials had argued that these privileges violated prison rules and were inconsistent with the Constitution, but the court upheld its earlier orders, directing the jail superintendent to implement them without delay.
The PTI party and its supporters, including Imran Khan's wife Bushra Bibi, have welcomed the court's decision, seeing it as a positive step towards ensuring Khan's rights and well-being while in prison. The party remains committed to its struggle for Khan's release and the restoration of democracy in Pakistan.
