Open court vs video link: Imran Khan’s legal battle for transparent trial
['Our Correspondent']
The Express Tribune » Pakistan
Founder of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaaf Imran Khan was ordered to attend the trial through videolink in the last hearing, which Imran vehemently opposed.
The petition requested that the video link trial be declared illegal and unconstitutional, and that all proceedings recorded via WhatsApp link be rendered null and void.
However, video link and WhatsApp trials violate fair trial rules.
They requested to speak with the PTI founder, but due to the weak connection, communication was not possible.
He stated that the PTI founder has been deliberately isolated in a closed room so he cannot see the proceedings.
