ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Imran Khan awoke Sunday as an inmate in a high\u002Dsecurity prison after a court handed him a three\u002Dyear sentence…
But his current stay at the Attock prison is a far cry from his custodial conditions in May, when he was taken to a well-appointed guesthouse on a police compound in Islamabad under a Supreme Court order. He was then allowed visitors and meetings with party colleagues.
PTI lawyer Shoaib Shaheen told The Associated Press that police at the prison refused entry to a legal team who went to see Khan. He said the party would file an appeal as there were “plenty of loopholes in the verdict.” On Sunday, hundreds of people gathered on the outskirts of Muzaffarabad, the capital of Pakistan-administered Kashmir, to condemn the arrest.
