Incarcerated former premier and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan has been provided with new books at Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi.

 

According to a leading daily Urdu, Imran Khan’s counsel, Barrister Salman Safdar handed over the books to the jail administration.

 

This comes after the Anti Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in Rawalpindi directed the authorities to provide books to Imran Khan as well as allow him to talk to his children. 

 

Social media user Rizwan Ghilzai took to X (formerly Twitter) on Monday night to share a picture of books he said were given to Imran Khan in jail. The caption of the post read, “Books have been provided to Imran Khan in jail.”

 

The titles of the books are clearly visible in the image. One of them is “On Palestine”, co-authored by Noam Chomsky and Ilan Pappé, two prominent voices in the struggle to liberate Palestine.

 

Another book is “The BLACK JACOBINS” authored by Toussaint L’Ouverture and the San Domingo Revolution. The book is a history of the Haitian Revolution of 1791–1804.

 

 

Some Islamic books include “REOPENING MUSLIM MINDS” by Mustafa Akyol, “Lost Islamic History” by Firas Alkhateeb, “CALIPHATE” by Hugh Kennedy and “The Life of SALAH UD DIN AYYUBI” by Beha Ud Din.

 

On August 5, 2023, Imran Khan was arrested from his residence at Zaman Park, Lahore, shortly after his conviction in the Toshakhana case, and was held in Attock jail.

 

He is currently serving a 14-year sentence of rigorous imprisonment at Adiala Jail, following his conviction in the Al-Qadir Trust case on January 17, 2025.
