Imprisoning Politicians: A Pattern of Repression The recent Supreme Court order allowing weekly meetings between former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his family has brought some relief to those concerned about his health.
However, it also highlights a disturbing trend in Pakistan's judicial system, where leaders are using imprisonment as a tool to silence their opponents with the blessing of the courts.
Imprisonment is not just punishment for alleged crimes; it's also used to restrict the freedom of speech and dissenting voices. The case of Imran Khan is an example of this phenomenon.
