According to a report by Geo News, Bushra Bibi, the wife of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan, has expressed concerns regarding her husband’s safety and security, stating that he ‘may be poisoned’ while he is being held at Attock Jail.
Bushra Bibi notified the Punjab home secretary in a letter that the court had ordered her husband’s transfer to the Adiala prison in Rawalpindi.
She stated, “My spouse has been unlawfully incarcerated in Attock jail. The law requires that my spouse be transferred to the Adiala jail.”
Geo News reported that former prime minister Imran Khan was arrested earlier this month after a court sentenced him to three years in prison in the Toshakhana case involving the sale of state presents he received from foreign dignitaries during his tenure as prime minister from 2018 to 22.
Khan was also banned from politics for a period of five years.
In her letter, Bushra Bibi demanded that the PTI chief be provided with B-class prison facilities commensurate with his social and political stature as an Oxford graduate and former national cricket captain.
In addition, Bushra Bibi stated that Khan had been the target of two assassination attempts in the past, but that the perpetrators had not yet been apprehended.
“His (Imran Khan) life is still in danger, and there is a fear that my husband will be poisoned in Attock jail,” she wrote.
According to Geo News, as a former prime minister of the country, she stated that her husband should be permitted to consume home-cooked meals in prison.
In reference to the prison manual, the former first lady stated that Khan was supposed to receive all facilities within 48 hours, but they had not been provided after 12 days.
“According to the prison regulations, my husband has the right to be examined by a private physician,” she said, demanding an investigation into why the PTI leader was not provided with the necessary facilities.
In addition, last week the PTI Core Committee expressed similar concerns that Imran Khan might suffer from’slow poisoning’ and requested that he be provided with domestic food and water.
