Pakistan's Supreme Court to hear petitions on Imran Khan's access to lawyers and family

Thursday, 18 June 2026, 06:37 · 1 min read

Pakistan's Supreme Court is hearing a set of petitions on Thursday challenging restrictions on imprisoned former Prime Minister Imran Khan's access to his legal team, personal doctors, and family members at Adiala jail (a high-security prison on the outskirts of Rawalpindi). The cases were brought by PTI Secretary General Salman Akram Raja, who is contesting a previous court ruling that dismissed his contempt petition over jail authorities' failure to comply with earlier directives on lawyer visits, and by Khan's sister Dr Uzma Khan, who is seeking access to her brother and challenging the refusal to transfer him to a private hospital. The hearings are significant as they test whether court orders protecting a high-profile detainee's basic legal and medical rights are being enforced by prison authorities.
