Imran Khan Had No Place To Pee In Pak Prison: Lawyers

New Delhi: Ousted Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan’s lawyers have alleged that he was tortured in jail and his meals were laced with insulin to give him a heart attack. The cricketer-turned-politician, who heads the opposition Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf party, alleged he was given an injection to induce a slow heart attack and not allowed to use the washroom. He also complained of chest pains, his lawyers said after meeting him for over an hour, NDTV reported.

Khan’s Tuesday arrest has been termed “illegal” by the Pakistan Supreme Court, which has ordered his immediate release. Today he will appear before the Islamabad High Court to seek a pre-arrest bail and even address his supporters outside the court. He is in the custody of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).

“This is an attempt to kill him. He said he was not being allowed to sleep. He was kept in a dirty room without a toilet or bed. He was not given anything to eat since he was brought to police lines at 3 am,” his lawyers told the media, according to news agency ANI.
