Imran Khan: Rumours of Imran Khan’s death have caused panic in Pakistan. Despite official assurances of his safety, tight security, limited family access, and secrecy have raised public doubts, while his sister warned the government and Army Chief that harming him is a “red line.”
Security Tightened Around Adiala Jail
Adiala Jail, where Imran Khan has been held since August 2023, is under unusually high security after intelligence warned of a possible attack. Thousands of personnel, strict checkpoints, and enhanced surveillance have been deployed around the prison.
Why Nationwide Alerts Were Issued
Punjab and federal authorities have issued high-level security alerts for Adiala Jail and other PTI prisons, while Balochistan has tightened security at Mach Central Jail over fears of attacks amid rising political tensions.
Rumours Spark Panic About Imran Khan’s Safety
Social media is filled with false claims that Imran Khan has been killed in jail, fueled by limited updates on his health and restricted access for family and lawyers. The government says he is safe, but public doubt persists due to the lack of transparent proof.
Sister Issues Harsh Warning to Asim Munir and Shehbaz Sharif
Imran Khan’s sister, Noreen Niazi, warned the government and Army Chief not to harm him, calling it a “red line” and saying it would cause nationwide chaos. She also accused authorities of spreading false health rumours to disturb his supporters.
Concerns Over Solitary Confinement
Noreen Niazi has alleged that Imran Khan has been kept in solitary confinement for nearly a month, which violates jail rules allowing isolation for only a few days. She described this as mental and physical abuse and accused jail authorities of breaking the law. These statements have intensified public anger and raised serious questions about his treatment.
Growing Suspicion and Lack of Access
PTI leaders and family say they haven’t been allowed to meet Imran Khan for weeks, despite court orders. Authorities claim he is safe, but lack of visits, videos, or medical reports has fueled public fear and distrust.
A Critical and Tense Political Moment
With PTI planning nationwide protests and a high alert in several provinces, Pakistan faces a tense situation. Political tensions, militant threats, and spreading rumours could spark unrest, while the public remains concerned about Imran Khan’s safety.
