Human Rights Perspective
Every person in custody is entitled to appropriate medical care, respect for human dignity and reasonable access to family members. HRNW maintains that protecting the fundamental rights of detainees is an essential part of the rule of law and human rights principles.
The Supreme Court’s review of the jail report and the upcoming hearing will be important in determining whether Imran Khan is receiving adequate healthcare and whether his legal rights regarding medical treatment and family visitation are being properly ensured.
