"Uzma Khanum, who is a doctor, gave the update on Tuesday while speaking to reporters in Rawalpindi, the city where her brother is imprisoned. He is physically well, Khanum said. But he is kept inside all the time and only goes out for a short while. There is no contact with anybody. Khanum described Khan as being very angry about being so isolated, saying that he deemed the resulting mental torture to be worse than physical abuse."
"Prior to Khanum's visit, both PTI and Khan's family had expressed alarm that none of his relatives or associates had been allowed to see him for almost a month, with one of his sons telling Reuters last week of his fear that something irreversible is being hidden from us. On Tuesday, the ex-leader's spokesperson Zulfikar Bukhari called on the authorities to allow Khan's relatives and legal team to visit him more regularly."

Supporters gathered outside Adiala Jail. Family and party members expressed alarm at almost a month without visits and requested regular access and a personal doctor check-up. The Pakistan Human Rights Commission expressed serious concern while authorities deny mistreatment.
