Adiala Jail Tells Court Imran Khan’s X Account Is Operated From Outside

Judges are weighing a petition to suspend the account following a filing that details strict surveillance measures.

Overview

  • On Nov. 25, the Adiala Jail superintendent filed a written response to the Islamabad High Court stating the PTI founder’s X account is not being run from inside the prison.
  • The filing says Imran Khan is under strict surveillance, with no access to mobile phones, and that signal jammers block mobile and internet connectivity in and around the facility.
  • Jail authorities report regular searches of Imran Khan and assigned staff, adding he receives only those facilities permitted under jail rules or by court order.
  • The superintendent notes Jail Rule 265 bars political discussions for inmates and says visitors have at times engaged in such conversations during meetings.
  • The court had sought input from the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency, which is referenced as probing the account, and further action will come at the next hearing.
