Imran Khan's to approach the Supreme Court against the prosecution in the cipher case.
Today marks the 92nd day of Chairman Tehreek-e-Insaf and former Prime Minister Imran Khan's unlawful detention. Throughout these challenging days, Imran Khan has demonstrated unparalleled bravery and resilience, leaving an indelible mark that will be remembered for generations. Despite facing continuous injustice from Chief Justice Aamer Farooq of the Islamabad High Court, Imran Khan remains steadfast, refusing to flee the country or succumb to panic. Instead, he continues to challenge every legal avenue available to him, shaking the dormant judicial system. In light of these circumstances, Chairman Imran Khan has resolved to approach the Supreme Court to contest the decision regarding the charges filed in the cipher case. Chief Justice Aamer Farooq's endorsement of this indictment is seen as evidence of his biased justice. Imran Khan's legal team will imminently submit a formal petition to the Supreme Court, challenging this unjust ruling.

It is worth noting that bail requests for Imran Khan's co-accused have been approved, making the ongoing delays in his case a clear injustice—a suffocation of justice itself.
