PTI Says Yasmin Rashid Alive and Rejects Social Media Death Claims

Party statements follow restricted legal access and a court order for urgent but risky medical treatment, raising questions about care for jailed PTI figures.

Overview

  • PTI leaders and Dr Yasmin Rashid’s lawyer said they visited her in Kot Lakhpat Jail and confirmed she is alive and has not signed a will.
  • Her legal team says she remains unwell, is a cancer survivor with respiratory problems, and was advised to have spinal surgery.
  • Lawyers say courts have ordered immediate treatment while warning that the procedures carry risks and may not offer a permanent cure.
  • A jail trial scheduled this week was postponed, which PTI says limited in-person legal access to detained leaders and delayed visits.
  • The accounts in reports come primarily from PTI officials, prison-related statements, and Dr Yasmin’s lawyer with no independent on-scene confirmation.
