Imran’s lawyer files plea seeking ‘A-class’ jail facilities for PTI chief

  • Petition also urges IHC to declare Imran’s detention in Attock Jail 'illegal'
Published August 7, 2023

Former prime minister Imran Khan’s lawyer approached on Monday the Islamabad High Court (IHC) seeking A-Class jail facilities in Attock Jail.

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman’s lawyer, Naeem Haider Panjotha, filed the application on Imran’s behalf.

The petition urged the IHC to declare Imran’s detention in Attock Jail “illegal”. It also requested that Imran be shifted to Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi.

In a video statement shared on the PTI’s official social media account, Panjotha alleged that the former PM had been provided “C-Class jail facilities” in Attock Jail.

He also said that Imran’s lawyers, including him, had not met the PTI chief since he was arrested on Saturday.

An Islamabad district and sessions court Saturday disqualified the former premier from politics for five years and sentenced him to three years in prison in the Toshakhana criminal case.

He was found guilty of “corrupt practices” by the court.

As soon as the court’s verdict was handed down on Saturday, the PTI leader was arrested.

A district sessions court should not hear cases related to matters related to central affairs of state and mainstream polititicisns, anchorpersons etc. These cases should be heard at least high courts or above. What is the role and competence of a sessions judge in Toshakhana case. I have almost zero faith in the judicial system of Pakistan.

@Usman, stop playing politics! People need to stop saying that previous govt did this so now they deserve that! The justice system should be above this nonsense and so should be the way people of Pak think. Can’t believe ppl like Sanaullah, SS, Zardari are free and the biggest hero, philanthropist and leader of people of Pakistan is in jail. Thank you Munir! May you get what you deserve in this world and here after
