Imran Khan, 73, was arrested in August 2023 and has been imprisoned following convictions in multiple legal cases. Family members reported being barred from visiting him for nearly a month, prompting protests and concerns about his health. His sister, Uzma Khanum, was allowed to visit at Adiala jail and said his health appeared good but described the conditions as poor and his imprisonment as mental torture. Khan is serving lengthy sentences in corruption-related cases, including the Al-Qadir Trust and Toshakhana cases. His wife, Bushra Bibi, is serving a seven-year term; both deny the charges.
