Event Summary

Jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan, 73, met with his lawyer, Salman Safdar, at Pakistan===Central Jail Rawalpindi in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, for approximately three hours. This meeting was directed by the Pakistan===Supreme Court of Pakistan, which appointed Safdar as amicus curiae to report on Khan's living conditions. Safdar confirmed that Imran Khan was 'fine and looking healthy,' though he declined to provide further details before submitting his report to the apex court. This marks the first visit for Imran Khan since December 2, 2023, when his sister Uzma Khan met him. The Supreme Court panel, including Chief Justice Yahya Afridi and Justice Shahid Bilal Hassan, emphasized that Safdar should have full access to Imran Khan. Authorities had previously halted weekly meetings between Imran Khan and his family/lawyers, citing alleged political misuse.
