PTI Stages Sit-In After Imran Khan's Family Denied Jail Visit

Supporters of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) protested outside Adiala jail on Tuesday, following the denial of access to former Prime Minister Imran Khan for his family and party leaders. Despite an Islamabad High Court order allowing family visits on Tuesdays and party leaders on Thursdays, jail authorities have reportedly not complied for several months. Imran Khan's sisters, Aleema Khan, Uzma Khan, and Noreen Niazi, along with lawyers and party officials, were turned away upon arrival. Aleema Khan spoke to the media, expressing frustration over the continued detention of her brother, which she believes has destabilized the country. She highlighted that despite restrictions, information about political events, such as the Gilgit-Baltistan elections, is widely available on social media, allowing people to see the "truth." Khan asserted that the release of Imran Khan is necessary to resolve the nation's crises and called for public mobilization, suggesting that a large turnout at the jail could secure his freedom. Separately, the Islamabad High Court directed authorities to explain a Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) notice issued to PTI Secretary General Salman Akram Raja concerning alleged social media misuse. The court was hearing Raja's petition seeking protection from arrest and harassment.
