Following Imran Khan's four-week absence, Sister Noreen Niazi denounces police brutality in Pakistan.

Noreen Niazi, sister of jailed former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, voiced deep concern over her brother's condition, noting authorities have barred family, lawyers, and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) members from meeting him for over four weeks. Even scheduled visits by party leaders, including Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi, were denied, fueling rumors of Khan's death that spread to India. Adiala Jail officials dismissed these as baseless on November 27 (Thursday), confirming Khan remains in custody, in good health, and receiving medical attention.?

Niazi denounced the Pakistani establishment for committing an unprecedented degree of oppression by using unrestrained police violence against Khan's supporters, including women, children, and the elderly. She claimed that police have the authority to attack demonstrators without facing consequences, violating social norms in a way that has never been seen in Pakistan. The severity of the crackdown on PTI loyalists is highlighted by the widespread awareness of these incidents.?

Recalling last year's three-week solitary confinement without electricity or books, violating the prison manual's four-day limit, Niazi claimed Khan faces similar torment now, isolated amid summer heat and total blackout from the outside world. Long-term cell confinement, power outages, and blocked visits are highlighted in PTI reports and Khan's own statements; the jail superintendent disputes these claims by stating that there is no phone or internet access. These measures persist despite Supreme Court bails in some cases, keeping Khan imprisoned on multiple corruption and terrorism charges since 2023.??

Niazi predicted a public revolt against the growing oppression and offered assistance to other "poor and innocent" prisoners who were suffering alongside her brother. As demonstrations outside Adiala Jail grow more intense over the former PM's solitary conditions and restricted access, PTI calls for immediate family meetings amid health concerns.

Noreen Niazi, sister of jailed former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, described Pakistan as enduring its darkest period with "Hitler-era-like repression," where citizens face abductions, killings, and beatings without accountability. She recounted meeting a young man in Peshawar shot in the head on November 26, left paralyzed, as one of countless cases mirroring historical tyrannies. Niazi emphasized a lived reality of unbridled oppression by drawing comparisons between current atrocities and tales of people being dragged into basements during the Nazi regime.

Niazi called Shehbaz Sharif's administration the most unpopular in the country's history and called Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir a "dictator." She claimed that authorities had given police the authority to attack anyone, including women, children, and the elderly, without fear of repercussions—a first for Pakistan. During demonstrations outside Adiala Jail, she and her sisters Aleema Khan and Dr. Uzma Khan were allegedly attacked by Punjab Police.What?

Imran Khan has remained in Adiala Jail since August 2023 on multiple charges, with an undeclared ban preventing family and PTI members from meeting him for over a month, sparking death rumors. For four weeks, Noreen and her sisters set up camp outside the prison in an attempt to gain access, but they were repeatedly turned away and confronted by hostile police. Concerns about his health are made worse by his seclusion in the midst of larger attacks on PTI supporters.?
