Advocate Salman Safdar formally submitted a seven-page report to the Supreme Court on Wednesday detailing the living conditions of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan at Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi. Safdar, appointed amicus curiae to inspect the prison, met Imran and visited his cell, though he initially declined to share the report’s contents with the media.

According to the report, Imran follows a structured daily routine that varies between summer and winter. Breakfast, served around 9:45am, typically includes coffee, porridge, and dates, followed by recitation of the Holy Qur’an.
He engages in physical exercise with limited equipment, including an exercise bike and weights, and is allowed brief walks in the secured compound. Lunch, financed by his family, rotates between chicken, meat, lentils, and snacks. Dinner is light, consisting mainly of fruit, milk, and dates, while bottled drinking water is provided throughout the day.
The report itself mentions rapid vision loss, visible distress, lack of full medical transparency, and restricted independent access. These aren’t social media claims. They are documented concerns.

The report describes Imran’s cell as equipped with a bed, chair, table, hanger, and basic sanitary facilities. Lighting and ventilation were deemed sufficient, with cross-ventilation via ceiling openings. A small heater is provided in winter, and hot water is available at all times. However, the report notes difficulties during summer months due to heat, humidity, insects, and mosquitoes, with a cool box and room cooler failing to fully alleviate the conditions. Imran also highlighted the absence of a refrigerator and reported episodes of food poisoning during extreme weather.
Hygiene arrangements include a mushaqati (convicted laborer) responsible for cleaning the cell and washroom. Safdar noted minor scope for improvement in the toilet’s sanitary conditions. Security measures appear robust, with approximately ten surveillance cameras in the compound, though none inside the cell. Overall, Imran expressed satisfaction with safety and cleanliness arrangements but raised concerns over summer living conditions and limited cooling options.
