Islamabad HC Orders Imran Khan’s Transfer To High Security Adiala Prison

The Islamabad court on Monday ordered authorities to shift Pakistan’s former prime minister Imran Khan from the Attock jail in Punjab province to high-security Adiala prison in the garrison city of Rawalpindi.

Previously in August, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf petitioned the Islamabad High Court to transfer the deposed party chief to Adiala prison where A-class facilities are available, keeping in view Khan’s affluent family background, social and political status.

The party stated, the IHC issued the order while hearing the case.

It stated, “IHC Chief Justice has ordered moving PTI chairman Imran Khan from Attock Prison to Adiala Prison in Rawalpindi.”

Khan (70) has been kept in the Attock Jail since August 5 after his conviction in the Toshakhana corruption case. His sentence was suspended by the IHC on August 29, but he continues to remain in Attock prison in the cipher (secret diplomatic cable) leakage case.

A special court, established under the Official Secrets Act, on September 13 extended Khan’s judicial remand till September 26 in the cipher case.

The Islamabad trial court which sentenced Khan to 3 years in jail directed the authorities to lodge him at Adiala prison.
However, after his arrest, he was shifted to Attock jail.
