Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi meet with legal counsel in Adiala Jail
Lawyers for former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, held meetings with the couple at Adiala Jail to discuss ongoing legal matters and health concerns. Salman Safdar reported meeting Khan after seven months and Bushra Bibi after 11 months. During these discussions, the couple provided updates on their health and prison conditions.
Imran Khan reportedly urged his legal team to prioritize Bushra Bibi’s case, citing her deteriorating health and eye issues. He requested that lawyers seek relief from the court regarding her medical treatment. Khan also expressed his views on political developments, including the loss of the PTI government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, which he reportedly viewed as a burden.
Separately, the Islamabad High Court has scheduled hearings for November 10 regarding appeals filed by Khan and Bushra Bibi in the £190 million Al-Qadir Trust corruption case. The appeals challenge their previous convictions, which resulted in prison sentences for both individuals. The division bench will review whether procedural irregularities occurred during the initial trial.
