Pakistan’s Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed a Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party lawyer to meet incarcerated former prime minister Imran Khan in prison and submit a report about his “living conditions”. Khan, 73, has been in jail since August 5, 2023, after his conviction in a corruption case. 

Currently, he has been kept at Adiala Jail, Rawalpindi. The court appointed PTI counsel Salman Safdar as amicus curiae with orders to visit the jail. “Salman Safdar should go to Adiala and be given full access so he may be able to file a written response,” it said.
