ISLAMABAD, November 5: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Saturday accused Islamabad and Punjab police of subjecting his supporters of extreme torture during their detention at Adiala Jail for five days.
In a statement on Twitter, Khan said he met with 20 PTI youth who were arrested by the police as they came from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to join his protest in Islamabad.
I just met 20 PTI youth from KP who were picked up by police in Islamabad where they had come on my call. They were thrown in Adiala jail without cause, Khan said.
He said they were thrown in death cells at Adiala Jail while 10 of them were kept in a cell with an open toilet.
They were subjected to extreme torture for 5 days, he said, adding that boys had their cell phones and money taken away by the police.
Khan said that the PTI workers were only released after his Thanksgiving Day jalsa ended.
This is PML-N democracy, he said.
I hold Nawaz Sharif, Shabaz Sharif, Chaudhry Nisar Ali and both federal and provincial police responsible for this fascism of the worst kind inflicted on our youth, he added. -NNI
