“Serious Threat To His Life”: Imran Khan’s Wife To Pakistan SC

The Former Prime Minister of Pakistan and Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan’s wife Bushra Bibi has recently alleged that her husband has a serious threat in prison.

As per the reports, the former premier’s wife submitted an affidavit in the supreme court through Advocate Syed Rifaqat Hussain Shah, after meeting Imran in Attock jail on August 22.

Furthermore, Bushra stated in the document that she was allowed to meet Imran “after unwarranted delays and difficulties” on Tuesday at the Attock jail.

The document added that, “during the course of the meeting, the petitioner expressed his determination to stand for the Constitution and the rule of law in Pakistan and to offer any sacrifice and suffer any privation or hardship for his beloved country”.

She also highlighted that there’s a “significant decline in the petitioner’s health” and that he “appears to have lost weight substantially during the course of his confinement, particularly loss of muscles around his arms”.

It stated, “Such a decline in the health of a person in his 70s can be a serious danger to his life.”

Bushra stated the SC to take notice of Imran’s deteriorating health and the serious threats to his life in prison.

As per media, Bushra raised similar concerns in front of Pakistan’s Punjab government last week.

Earlier, Pakistan district and sessions court on August 5, sentenced PTI Chairman Imran Khan to 3 years in prison in the Toshakhana case i.e., for illegally selling state gifts and he has been disqualified from politics for a period of 5 years.
The PTI Chairman got arrested from his Zaman Park residence in Lahore soon after being convicted in the Toshakhana case.

Also, the court imposed a fine of Pakistani Rupees (PKR) 100,000 on Imran Khan.
