Pakistani religious scholar Muhammad Ali Mirza, who was recently imprisoned in Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi, has revealed that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder and former Prime Minister Imran Khan remains 'very frustrated' in jail. Mirza, who was granted bail in a high-profile blasphemy case, shared details about Imran's conduct and daily routine, sparking debate over the conditions and facilities provided to the PTI founder during his incarceration. According to Mirza, Imran has access to news from the outside world, with two newspapers and a television in his room, allowing him to stay informed. However, Mirza described Imran as 'very frustrated' in jail, a feeling not uncommon for someone who has spent nearly two years behind bars. The disclosures came after the Rawalpindi Bench of the Lahore High Court granted bail to Mirza, and the PTI has called for a parliamentary committee to examine the 'solitary confinement' and 'violation of fundamental rights' of Imran and his wife, Bushra Bibi, at Adiala Jail. The UN Special Rapporteur on torture, Alice Jill Edwards, has also raised concerns over the 'inhumane and undignified' detention conditions of Imran, warning that they could amount to torture and other inhuman or degrading treatment.
