PTI Raises Alarm Over Threats to Bushra Bibi’s Life Urgent Call for Action

In a statement issued on Tuesday, a spokesperson for PTI expressed grave concerns regarding what they described as “serious threats” to Bushra Bibi’s life while in detention.

“Bushra Bibi’s health and life are being seriously endangered by the denial of her constitutional right to medical examination,” the PTI spokesperson stated.

The party official further alleged that Bushra Bibi’s family had been barred from visiting her, a move they deemed to be a violation of both the Constitution and jail regulations. They assert this restriction is part of a “deliberate plan” to cause harm to her.

Despite the filing of a petition in the Islamabad High Court, the decision to keep Bushra Bibi in solitary confinement at the Bani Gala ‘sub-jail’ is a shameful and malicious attempt to undermine Imran Khan,” the spokesperson added.

He said that if Bushra Bibi is harmed in any way, the responsibility will rest on the shoulders of the caretaker government and the jail authorities, adding that Imran’s wife should be allowed to be examined by her family physician.

“The court should promptly hear Bushra Bibi’s transfer request and issue orders for her transfer from Bani Gala to Adiala Jail. The jail authorities must provide quality food to the former first lady, and her health and life must be safeguarded,” the spokesperson concluded.
