""We are deeply concerned about the well-being, legal rights, and humane treatment of our brother during his incarceration, and authorities are willfully defying the Islamabad High Court's March 24 order that restored visitation," Khan's sister Aleema Khan told DW.

""The family and legal team last met Imran Khan on October 16, on the final day of his and ( Khan's wife) Bushra Bibi's jail trial," Aleema Khan added. She also said that the politician's other sister, Uzma Khan, has been allowed to see the ousted leader twice for some 20 minutes each on October 28 and November 4 "only because we held protests and sit-ins outside Adiala Jail.""
Imran Khan's family says they have been denied visits and demand a meeting, expressing concern about his health and legal rights. The family says authorities are defying an Islamabad High Court order that restored visitation on March 24. The family last met Khan on October 16; another sister saw him briefly on October 28 and November 4 only after protests and sit-ins. Khan has been incarcerated since August 2023 and is serving a 14-year corruption sentence. Khan claims the cases are politically motivated and alleges military plotting; the military rejects those claims. His imprisonment remains a contentious issue for the government.
