Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, have approached Islamabad High Court seeking improved jail conditions at Adiala Jail, Rawalpindi. According to Geo News, the plea demands international-standard facilities for the couple, alleging substandard treatment.

Khan, who has been incarcerated for over a year, faces multiple charges including the Toshakhana corruption case. Bushra Bibi has been jailed for several months on similar charges. The plea, filed by lawyer Azhar Siddique, implicates top officials from the cabinet, interior, and law departments, urging them to uphold international conventions and jail rules.

The government has refuted Khan's claims, presenting documentary evidence of existing amenities like an exercise bike, books, and a private kitchen. The controversy further deepens amid ongoing legal battles and new charges against the couple.
