Authorities at Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail allowed former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s sister, Uzma Khanum, to meet him on Tuesday, according to Dawn.
Uzma visited the prison as a large crowd of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) supporters gathered outside the facility.
The meeting comes amid ongoing protests by PTI outside the Islamabad High Court and Adiala Jail, demanding that Khan’s family and party leaders be granted access to him.
The PTI has alleged that the former prime minister’s relatives and associates have been denied visits for several weeks.
Citing Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi, Dawn reported that no one had been allowed to meet Imran Khan or his wife, Bushra Bibi, since 27 October.
Earlier, the government imposed Section 144 in Rawalpindi and banned public gatherings ahead of a planned PTI protest, citing security concerns.
The restrictions came amid circulating rumours about Khan’s health, which raised fears of unrest.
Khan’s sons expressed concern that authorities might be withholding information about his condition.
Kasim Khan told Reuters that the family has had no direct or verifiable contact with him, despite a court order mandating weekly visits.
“Not knowing whether your father is safe, injured or even alive is a form of psychological torture,” he said, adding that no independent verification of his father’s condition has been possible for months.
The family has repeatedly requested access for Khan’s personal physician, who has been barred from examining him for over a year.
A jail official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters that Khan is in good health and that there are no plans to transfer him to a higher-security facility.
Imran Khan, 73, has been imprisoned since August 2023 following multiple convictions he describes as politically motivated after his 2022 parliamentary ouster.
His initial conviction involved the Toshakhana case, over allegations of unlawfully selling gifts received during his tenure.
Subsequent verdicts added lengthy sentences, including 10 years for leaking a diplomatic cable and 14 years in a graft case linked to Al-Qadir Trust charity, which prosecutors say involved improper land dealings.
