Imran Khan’s family and PTI members protested after weeks of denied visitation, amid a security lockdown with over 1,200 officers deployed near Adiala Jail, officials said.
- On December 9, 2025, Aleema Khan and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf members held a sit-in outside Adiala jail after officers stopped them at the Factory checkpoint because official meeting hours ended.

- Held since August 2023, Imran Khan's detention in Adiala Jail, Rawalpindi has drawn military criticism, with Director General Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry calling him a `mentally ill person` and an army spokesperson labeling him a `narcissist and mentally sick` person.
