PTI senators staged a walkout from the Senate on Thursday after the party's parliamentary leader Syed Ali Zafar raised the matter as a point of order, describing the late-night transfer as a "serious human rights violation" and warning that the government's silence had made the situation "even more suspicious." Zafar further alleged that Bushra Bibi had for months endured solitary confinement, mental torture, and extremely harsh conditions, with her personal doctors denied access and family visits blocked. Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah advised the party to pursue the matter through legal channels rather than the Senate floor.

Original story

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has voiced sharp concern after reports emerged that Bushra Bibi, wife of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan, was taken from Adiala jail (a high-security prison in Rawalpindi) to a hospital in the middle of the night for an eye examination before being returned to custody without her family being informed. The party condemned what it called a lack of transparency, demanding to know which hospital she was taken to, which doctors examined her, and on what grounds she was sent back rather than admitted. PTI leaders warned that if any harm came to her health, the government, prison authorities, and relevant institutions would bear full political, moral, and legal responsibility, and called for her immediate transfer to Shifa International Hospital with access granted to her personal physicians and family members.
