Imran Khan denied family visits at Adiala jail despite court orders

Wednesday, 23 September 2026, 06:48 · 1 min read

Pakistan's former prime minister Imran Khan was again denied visits by family members and lawyers at Adiala jail in Rawalpindi on Tuesday, with his cousin Qasim Zaman waiting for over two hours before being turned away. The Islamabad High Court (IHC) had previously authorised twice-weekly meetings for Khan, who has been imprisoned since 2023, but the order has repeatedly gone unimplemented. The denial comes as Khan's three sisters, who typically visit him each week, have been detained by authorities under Pakistan's Punjab Maintenance of Public Order Ordinance ahead of a PTI (Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, Khan's political party) protest planned for September 27, leaving the family with limited options to demonstrate to the court that its directives are being ignored.
