Khadija Shah demands unrestricted access to Imran Khan for prison reform report

Khadija Shah, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) activist and member of the subcommittee on prison reform, informed Chief Justice Yahya Afridi on Wednesday that the committee was denied access to meet the former Prime Minister Imran Khan in Adiala Prison, Rawalpindi.

In a letter to the Chief Justice, Khadija Shah requested that directions be issued for a meeting between the Prison Reforms Committee and Imran Khan to seek his views on the conditions of detention in the prison.

Khadija Shah detailed the committee's recent visit to Adiala Prison, which she said had been prepared for their arrival in a sterile environment, where a large contingent of prison staff accompanied them throughout the visit. The committee visited various sections including the hospital, women's barracks and areas for prisoners with mental health and substance abuse issues.

Khadija Shah also noted that Pakistan's prison population has increased over the past two years, with a significant number of political prisoners contributing to the overflow. She highlighted that Imran Khan, currently incarcerated in Adiala, was one such political prisoner and that getting his opinion was crucial to understanding what reforms were needed regarding political prisoners and their rights.

“You have expressly requested that the prison administration and government officials allow the subcommittee full access to all parts of the prison, without supervision or supervision,” Khadija Shah wrote, referring to the judge's previous instructions in chief. “Unfortunately, when we requested to meet former Prime Minister Imran Khan, we were denied access.”

According to Khadija Shah, when the committee insisted on assessing Khan's housing conditions, they were told that he was going to be tried in prison, and later the DIG of Adiala Prison, Abdul Rauf Rana, confirmed that they would not be allowed to meet him.

Shah expressed surprise at the denial, saying that as a former prisoner, she had met without restrictions with committees and government members monitoring the conditions of prisoners at Kot Lakhpat prison. She pointed out that Dr Yasmin Rashid and Aalia Hamza, both former political prisoners, had also given their comments during their stay in prison.

Khadija Shah urged the Chief Justice to arrange another visit to Adiala Prison, ensuring that the committee has access to Imran Khan so that his comments can be included in the report on prison reforms.

“As Martin Luther King Jr. once said: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. “The actions of the prison administration must align with our commitment to prison reform and should facilitate our work,” concluded Khadija Shah.

She stressed that the success of the reform process rested on an administration willing to support impartial and comprehensive reforms for all prisoners, without selective interference.
