Pakistan High Court Bars Solitary Confinement for Imran Khan

The Islamabad High Court issued a significant ruling on September 1, 2026, prohibiting jail authorities from keeping former PM Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, in solitary confinement.

The court mandated that the couple be granted regular, timely meetings with family members and legal counsel, rejecting previous restrictions imposed by Adiala Jail officials.

While the court denied petitions for private hospital treatment, the order marks a procedural victory for Khan's legal team in their ongoing challenge against prison conditions.
