Key Developments on the Anniversary
Thousands of PTI members and supporters held demonstrations in several cities across Pakistan on Wednesday, marking exactly three years since Khan's imprisonment. The party posted on X that "the struggle for democracy, constitutional rule, and the people's right to choose their future does not end with arbitrary detentions."
Amnesty International issued a statement revealing that Khan has not seen his family for more than eight months and has had no meaningful access to his lawyers since December. Isabelle Lassee, Amnesty's acting regional director for South Asia, urged Pakistani authorities to "unconditionally restore" the couple's right to see family and lawyers, adding that their solitary confinement "should end immediately."
Khan's health has also emerged as a central concern. He was diagnosed with a retinal condition in his right eye in January and has received five injections at a government hospital, allegedly without prior notice to his family or lawyers, according to the PTI. The Supreme Court recently agreed to hear his petition seeking transfer to a private hospital in Islamabad and access to doctors of his choice.
