Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) President Elahi’s health deteriorates in Attock jail

ISLAMABAD, September 4 (INP): Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) President and former Punjab Chief Minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi’s health has deteriorated in Attock jail, his family said on Monday.

Elahi’s son, Moonis Elahi, said that his father has been suffering from high blood pressure and diabetes, and his condition has worsened since he was arrested on May 26.

He said that Elahi has been denied proper medical treatment in jail, and he has been forced to take medication that is not suitable for his condition.

Moonis Elahi said that he has written to the jail authorities several times to provide his father with proper medical treatment, but his requests have been ignored.

He said that he is now planning to approach the court to seek a release for his father on medical grounds.

Elahi was arrested along with other PTI leaders on charges of inciting violence during the May 25 by-elections in Punjab. He has been denied bail on several occasions.

Here are some additional details about the story:

• Elahi is 77, born in November 1, 1945, years old and has a history of health problems.
• He has been in jail for over three months, and his family says that his condition has deteriorated significantly during this time.
• He has been denied proper medical treatment in jail, and his family says that he has been forced to take medication that is not suitable for his condition.
• Moonis Elahi has written to the jail authorities several times to provide his father with proper medical treatment, but his requests have been ignored.
• He is now planning to approach the court to seek a release for his father on medical grounds.

This story is significant because it highlights the plight of political prisoners in Pakistan.

Elahi is not the only political prisoner who has been denied proper medical treatment in jail. There have been many other cases of political prisoners being denied medical treatment, and this is a serious human rights issue.

This story also highlights the importance of the right to bail. Elahi has been denied bail on several occasions, even though he is a 77-year-old man with a history of health problems. This is a denial of justice, and it is a reminder that the right to bail is an important safeguard against arbitrary detention.
