'Spark of revolution' among Pakistan's youth over Imran Khan's jailing, party leader says
PTI leaders demanded access to Khan’s personal doctors and warned that public frustration over his continued detention could grow beyond control.
- On Tuesday, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi joined a protest outside the Supreme Court, warning that public frustration over former Prime Minister Imran Khan's incarceration could become uncontrollable. "I can see a spark of revolution in the eyes of the youth, and no one will be able to control it," Afridi said.
- The 73-year-old leader has remained in Adiala Jail since 2023, with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf supporters alleging authorities have denied him access to family members, party colleagues, and adequate medical treatment for health issues.
- Afridi threatened nationwide protests if party parliamentarians are denied their scheduled jail visit on Thursday, explicitly warning that the "entire Pakistan" could witness massive demonstrations if authorities continue blocking access to the imprisoned leader.
- The Chief Minister questioned judicial performance, asking, "If judges do not dispense justice and fail to perform the duty for which they receive salaries, where will the people go?" The protest dispersed after registrar assurances of upcoming hearings.
- Unverified claims regarding Khan's condition have circulated, fueling significant public anger, though authorities have provided no official confirmation regarding the status of the former prime minister. The controversy underscores growing resentment over his prolonged imprisonment.
