Leaders of Imran Khan’s political party barred from meeting him in jail

Former Pakistan president staffer Raoof Hasan says no political leaders of Pakistan’s former prime minister Imran Khan’s party have been allowed to meet him in jail. The former Pakistani prime minister and his wife received a 14-year prison sentence for the illegal selling of state gifts. “The administration has not allowed me to meet him – in fact, they have not allowed any political leader from the party to meet him,” he told Sky News host Erin Molan. “I have about seven or eight permissions from the court that I should be allowed to meet him, and when we get in touch with the administration at the jail, they call me over, make me wait … five hours and then say, well they’ve not been permitted to let me meet him. “So until to date, ever since he was taken in, no political leader of the party has been allowed to meet him, such as the level of suppression and oppression in this country.”
