ISLAMABAD: PTI founder Imran Khan’s siste Aleema Khan on Monday dismissed reports about her brother’s meeting with an ex-army chief at Adiala jail as “totally fake”.
She took to her social media account to write, “All the news circulating on social media that a former army chief met Imran Khan in Adiala jail are fake. We have checked with Barrister Gohar and he has also confirmed that this is totally fake”.
“It is disinformation, especially spread to distract from the fact that Imran is being tortured through total isolation. The claims were an attempt to distract from Imran not being provided proper treatment for his eye condition, not being allowed to speak to his sons, not being provided books for the past six months and not having access to television in his cell,” she wrote.
Aleema said, “He (Imran) has not been allowed contact with anyone from the outside world in the past 6 months, except two visits by his lawyer on the orders of the court”. “There is a full bench court order that allows for at least 18 people to visit him every week. Six members of family and six lawyers on Tuesdays, and six party members on Thursdays,” she said. She emphasised that the concerns she stated were Imran’s “lawful rights, under Pakistan’s laws and international laws”.
