Imran Khan is ordered by the IHC to be moved from Attock to Adiala jail.


"Imran Khan is ordered by the IHC to be moved from Attock to Adiala jail."

    "The Islamabad High Court has ordered the transfer of PTI Chairman and former Prime Minister Imran Khan from Attock to Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi. This decision was made by IHC Chief Justice Aamer Farooq in response to a petition filed by a PTI lawyer requesting Imran Khan's relocation."

    "The Chief Justice noted that, according to the law, under-trial prisoners from Islamabad should be held at Adiala Jail. He questioned the reason for detaining the PTI chief in Attock Jail and pointed out that Imran Khan was transferred there after receiving a three-year sentence in the Toshakhana criminal case, but since that sentence has been suspended, there is no justification for him to remain in Attock."

    "During the hearing, Imran Khan's lawyer requested that his client, who is a sportsman, be provided with an exercise machine in jail. In response, the Chief Justice stated that the PTI chief should receive all entitled facilities, emphasizing that prisoners' rights should not be infringed upon."

    "Previously, the Attock Jail superintendent declined to send PTI Chairman Imran Khan to Islamabad for a court hearing, citing security concerns. Imran Khan has been in Attock Jail since August 5, 2023, following his arrest due to a conviction in the Toshakhana case."
