Islamabad: Jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khans, under siege by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, on Monday demanded that the European Union report on the February 8 general elections be made public.

PTI spokesperson Raoof Hasan, addressing a press conference in the capital, said the European Union (EU) report on the elections should be made public, Geo News reported.

Recalling the EU delegation's visit to Pakistan ahead of the February 8 general elections, Hasan said the intergovernmental body had confirmed that it had submitted its report on the country's elections to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP). The EU report is very sensitive and important, he said.

The PTI spokesperson's demand comes as the party has vehemently complained of large-scale rigging and manipulation of general election results, saying its mandate was stolen.

The 71-year-old cricketer-turned-politician, lodged in Rawalpindis Adiala jail after his conviction in various cases, had also written to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) requesting it to conduct an audit of the election results. before approving any new loans for the cash-strapped country.

However, the request was rejected by the Washington-based bank, citing its narrow mandate on economic issues and saying it does not comment on domestic political developments.

He also highlighted restrictions on freedom of assembly, freedom of expression online and offline, restrictions on internet access, as well as allegations of serious interference in the electoral process, including arrests of activists policies.

However, the EU was not the only entity to raise concerns about the elections, as the US and UK both expressed concerns about the restricted voting environment, followed by allegations of irregularities and interference in the voting process.

After the formation of the new government led by Shehbaz Sharif, the noose tightened further against the PTI and its leaders.

Terrorism cases have been registered against PTI leaders and workers for organizing peaceful protests against the February election fraud.

The former prime minister, along with former foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi, were sentenced in January to 10 years each in the encryption case for publishing the contents of a secret cable sent by the the country's ambassador in Washington to the government in Islamabad.

The cipher affair concerns a piece of paper, purported to be a diplomatic cable, the cipher that Khan held up at a public rally on March 27, 2022 and, naming the United States, claimed it was evidence of an international plot to overthrow his government.

The Federal Investigation Agency filed charges against Khan and Qureshi on August 15 last year, accusing them both of violating secrecy laws in handling the cable sent by the Pakistani embassy in Washington in March 2022.

Khan and Qureshi have also been out of politics for five years.
