Caged Like "Terrorist" In Jail, Being Denied Basic Human Rights: Imran Khan

The 71-year-old Pakistan-Tehreek-e-Insaf party founder made these claims in a rare interview from behind bars with British publication 'The Sunday Times', the Dawn newspaper reported on Sunday.

Pakistan's jailed former premier Imran Khan has claimed that he is being caged like a "terrorist", and was denied basic prisoner and human rights in a "death cell" at a high-security jail.

The 71-year-old Pakistan-Tehreek-e-Insaf party founder made these claims in a rare interview from behind bars with British publication 'The Sunday Times', the Dawn newspaper reported on Sunday.

"I am confined in a 7ft by 8ft death cell, typically reserved for terrorists to ensure they have no contact with anyone," he told the newspaper.
