Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi have filed a petition with the Supreme Court of Pakistan against the Islamabad High Court’s ruling in the £190m Al-Qadir University Project Trust case. They are seeking to suspend their convictions and be released pending appeal, citing health concerns and legal arguments. Imran Khan’s sister has also raised questions about his medical treatment and rights as a prisoner.
Imran Khan and his wife approached the Supreme Court after the Islamabad High Court rejected their plea to suspend their sentences in a £190 million corruption case. They argue that the court overlooked key aspects of the case and that their health conditions warrant release pending appeal. Imran Khan’s sister has emphasized the need for independent medical treatment and restoration of his lawful rights as a prisoner.
The petition to the Supreme Court alleges that the Islamabad High Court failed to consider crucial evidence and legal aspects in their case. Imran Khan and his wife contend that their detention has led to health issues, including an eye condition for Imran Khan. The family is demanding proper medical care and access to lawful rights for Imran Khan as a prisoner.
Imran Khan’s sister, Aleema Khan, has criticized the government for allegedly using isolation and deprivation as tactics against him. She has called for independent medical treatment for Imran Khan and emphasized the importance of upholding his rights as a prisoner. The family is advocating for Imran Khan’s access to necessary medical care and his lawful rights while in detention.
