After weeks of rumours and concern over his fate, Imran Khan’s sister Uzma Khanum visited him on Tuesday at Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi — the first access granted in several weeks. She confirmed to reporters that her brother is physically “perfectly fine.”
However, Uzma raised serious concerns about his mental condition. She quoted Khan as saying he is being subjected to “mental torture,” describing his prison life as largely solitary: confined to a cell for most of the day, given little outdoor time, and denied communication with family or outsiders.
The visit came amid mounting protests by supporters of his political party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), who had demanded proof of life after their pleas to meet him were repeatedly turned down. Many feared the worst after speculative rumours — now temporarily laid to rest by this family visit.
Still, concerns remain high. Khan’s isolation in solitary confinement, according to his sister, has created “psychological strain,” fueling fears that his mental well-being may deteriorate further if conditions do not improve.
