Ali Khan, a founding member of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and a close ally of Imran Khan, has announced a peaceful movement to secure the former prime minister’s release. Speaking at a press conference at the Swat Press Club alongside other PTI leaders, he asserted that Imran Khan is imprisoned for “a crime he did not commit” and pledged to personally lead the campaign.
Ali Khan outlined plans to establish hunger strike camps in Adiala Jail, Swat, and Peshawar to demand the release of Imran Khan and other PTI members detained during the November 26 protests in Islamabad. He also called for a judicial inquiry into the arrests and the release of those proven innocent.

During the conference, Ali Khan voiced his disappointment over the continued rise in corruption, criticizing all governments, including the PTI, for failing to pass effective anti-corruption legislation. He remarked that no administration, PTI included, has succeeded in enacting an anti-corruption bill in parliament.
He reiterated that Imran Khan’s imprisonment was unrelated to corruption and was instead due to a crime he did not commit. Ali Khan stressed that their foremost objective is to secure his release.
The movement seeks not only justice for Imran Khan but also aims to address broader concerns about corruption and the judicial system, reflecting the need for systemic reforms.
