Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf(PTI) founder Imran Khan’s lawyer Khalid Yousaf Chaudhry, confirmed the arrival of a representative of a global parliamentary body to observe the Imran Khan trials.
As per details, on Thursday, Imran Khan’s lawyer Khalid Yousaf Chaudhry informed the private TV channel regarding the arrival of a representative from a global parliamentary body to observe the trials against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan.
He said that he discussed the Imran Khan cases with an official of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) and they decided to send a representative to observe all trials.
“The IPU representative was briefed on the judicial proceedings in the £190 million case.They were also informed about the Toshakhana cases”,Khalid further said.
“I provided the IPU representative with details regarding the penalties in the Toshakhana cases, as well as the legal and constitutional flaws and the violation of the right to a fair trial”. He added.
He also confirmed that he briefed the IPU representative regarding May 9 and the GHQ case, “In November 2023, an IPU trial observer attempted to visit Adiala Jail but was denied permission.”
Apart from the IPU observer, this is not the first time when someone from outside Pakistan talked about Imran Khan’s trials, even before that more than 60 parliamentarians from the UK and US have demanded the former prime minister’s release from jail.
Pakistan is a member of IPU. Its primary function is to facilitate parliamentary diplomacy, empower parliaments, and promote peace, democracy, and sustainable development in the world.
It is worth mentioning here that last month the US, UK, and EU also criticised military courts over the sentencing of civilians in connection with attacks on military facilities on May 9, 2023
