Pakistan: Protests Intensify as CM Afridi Again Denied Meeting Imran Khan at Adiala Jail

Tensions continue to rise in Pakistan as repeated attempts to meet former Prime Minister Imran Khan are being blocked by Adiala Jail authorities. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi visited the jail for the seventh time but was once again denied permission to meet him, forcing him to return without success. Meanwhile, Imran Khan’s sisters have launched a sit-in outside the jail, alleging that earlier they were forcibly removed, dragged by their hair, and treated harshly by officials. The Adiala Jail administration has issued a statement claiming that Imran Khan is healthy and has not been shifted anywhere. However, contradicting this, Imran Khan’s son, Qasim Khan, posted on social media expressing grave concern, stating there is “no proof” that his father is alive, and that neither he nor his brother has been allowed any contact for six weeks. Protests by Khan’s supporters and family continue to intensify outside the jail.
