Imran Khan In Jail: As Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief and former Prime Minister Imran Khan is still unreachable to his party leaders and even his family members, the party announced that they would stage protests outside the Islamabad High Court and Rawalpindi's Adiala jail on Tuesday.
Notably, these protests were announced despite the government's decision to impose a ban on public gatherings and restrict visitation rights.
According to Zee News TV, Imran Khan’s sisters reach outside Adiala jail; thousands gather as crowds protest outside the prison amid speculation of something untoward happening to Imran Khan.

These developments in the neighbouring country come amid escalating concerns about Khan's condition.
The growing concern over Imran Khan's health and circulating rumours about his death have prompted Pakistan's officials to enforce Section 144 in Islamabad and Rawalpindi.
The order, signed by Deputy Commissioner Dr Hassan Waqar Cheema, places Section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (Punjab Amendment) Act, 2024, in effect for three days, from December 1 to 3, according to local media reports.
The directive, dated December 1, notes an "imminent threat within the limits of District Rawalpindi" and says the restrictions aim to maintain "public safety, security, peace, and tranquillity."
Imran Khan's Health Update
Last week, the authorities at Rawalpindi's Adiala jail said that Imran Khan has not been transferred from prison and remains "in good health."
In a statement on Wednesday, the Rawalpindi prison officials said, "There is no truth to reports about his transfer from Adiala jail. He is fully healthy and receiving complete medical attention," leading Pakistani daily, The News International, reported.
The officials called the rumours about his health "baseless" and insisted that Imran Khan's well-being was being ensured.
What Are PTI Leaders Demanding?
The statement of jail authorities comes as PTI has been demanding clarification about rumours regarding Imran Khan's condition, urging authorities to arrange a meeting between the PTI founder and his family.
The party's demand comes as Imran Khan's sisters have not been allowed to meet him in recent weeks, leading them to raise questions about his whereabouts.
According to IANS, PTI leader Asad Qaiser told a leading Pakistani daily, Dawn, that opposition lawmakers from both houses of parliament would gather outside the IHC before marching to Adiala jail.
"It has been decided to hold protests because IHC has failed to implement its order and the Adiala jail administration is not willing to implement the court orders," he said.
The conflict intensified last week when the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister staged a sit-in outside Adiala jail after being denied a meeting with Khan for the eighth time.
Why Is Imran Khan In Jail?
Imran Khan has been in prison since August 2023. He is facing multiple cases, including corruption and terrorism, since his ouster from power through a no-trust motion in 2022.
