Due to heightened security concerns, the court proceedings of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder and former Prime Minister Imran Khan will now be conducted through a video link from Adiala Jail. The decision aims to minimize security risks associated with his physical appearance in court.
According to official sources, authorities have finalized arrangements to enable remote attendance of court sessions from inside the high-security prison. The decision was taken after detailed consultations between law enforcement agencies and judicial authorities, ensuring both legal transparency and safety.
Imran Khan has been in Adiala Jail in connection with multiple cases registered against him following the May 9 incidents. His appearances in court have repeatedly triggered massive security operations and road closures, disrupting daily life in the federal capital and nearby areas.
Officials said that all necessary legal procedures will continue as usual, with Khan participating through live video conferencing facilities. This approach, they added, is in line with global judicial practices aimed at protecting high-profile prisoners and maintaining public safety.
Legal experts believe this shift may also streamline the ongoing proceedings, reducing delays caused by extensive travel and security protocols. However, PTI leaders have raised concerns over transparency, arguing that physical hearings allow for more direct engagement between lawyers and their client.
The government has emphasized that the decision is purely based on security assessments and logistical needs, not on political considerations. Authorities further assured that Imran Khan will have full access to his legal team and that the process will remain compliant with judicial standards.
This move marks another chapter in the evolving legal proceedings surrounding the PTI founder, whose trials have drawn both national and international attention. The judiciary’s focus now remains on ensuring fairness while maintaining order amid the sensitive political climate.
In a related development, the PM Shehbaz Youth Laptop Scheme 2025 continues to gain attention for its role in empowering students through digital access a move that contrasts sharply with the ongoing political and judicial tensions dominating the national landscape.
