Aalima Khan, sister of former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, who was protesting outside Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail, was sprayed with water on a cold night. Imran Khan’s party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has expressed displeasure over this, calling this action a violation of basic human rights and freedom of assembly in the winter season.
Different news are coming out regarding Imran Khan for the last few days. The Pakistan government has imposed a ban on meeting Imran Khan, due to which his sister Aalima Khan along with a large number of supporters came to protest outside the jail. During this, Aalima Khan and other protesters were showered with water on the cold night. Police used water cannon to disperse the crowd.
According to the report of Pakistani news channel Dawn, PTI issued a joint statement on social media platform ‘X’ and said that Pakistani authorities used water cannon outside Adiala jail to disperse the crowd of Aalima Khan and PTI workers. The party says that the government is not allowing it to meet Imran Khan, although the court had allowed it.
The statement said, ‘This brutal crackdown on a peaceful protest is a violation of basic human rights and the freedom of assembly in cold weather.’ The party also shared a video on Twitter, in which people were shown running from the spot and using water cannon.
PTI said, ‘Fascist activities of Punjab Police have started once again. The workers who were peacefully protesting outside Adiala Jail in extreme cold were attacked with water cannons. These cowardly actions will neither be able to suppress our voice nor reduce our morale.
In another post, PTI said, ‘His family was put on strike as they were not allowed to meet him. Using water cannon against peaceful protests is not only a brazen violation of Imran Khan’s prisoner rights, but also a direct attack on the constitutional rights of the people who gathered to protest the government’s atrocities.
PTI has appealed to the International Human Rights Organization to intervene in the matter. According to local media reports, Imran Khan’s sister Alima Khan and PTI members started protesting outside Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail on Tuesday. Alima Khan told that Imran Khan has not been allowed to meet his personal doctor for the last 14 months.
