Imran Khan meets legal team at Adiala jail after IHC orders

Lawyers representing Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan met him at Adiala jail in Rawalpindi on Wednesday, a day after the Islamabad High Court (IHC) directed authorities to facilitate meetings between the former prime minister and his legal team.

The meeting between Imran’s lawyers, Barrister Salman Safdar and Sardar Latif Khosa, lasted more than two hours and took place in the jail’s conference room, according to jail sources.

Bushra Bibi, Imran’s wife, was also present during the meeting.

The lawyers held detailed consultations with the PTI founder on pending cases and various legal petitions. They also discussed legal matters concerning Bushra Bibi, including her ongoing cases, jail sources said.

The meeting came a day after the IHC, while hearing appeals filed by Imran and Bushra against their convictions in the £190 million reference, ordered authorities to facilitate meetings between the former premier and his legal team.

Imran Khan was taken to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) again on Wednesday for tests and follow-up treatment for his eye condition, hours before the meeting.

After the meeting, both lawyers left Adiala jail without speaking to the media.

Imran Khan has been incarcerated since August 5, 2023, while Bushra Bibi was arrested on January 17, 2025, in a separate case in which the couple were convicted.
