Pakistan's Punjab government on Saturday lifted a ban on the meetings of former prime minister Imran Khan who has been incarcerated in Rawalpindi's Adiala Jail for more than a year.
A senior officer said that the Punjab government lifted the ban on the meetings of prisoners, including the 72-year-old Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader, which was imposed on October 4 because of security concerns.
The government had imposed the ban on Khan's meetings after the PTI gave a protest call on October 4 in Islamabad demanding his release and for the “independence of the judiciary”.
