PTI refutes rumours about Yasmin Rashid's wellbeing, states she is alive
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Central Information Secretary Sheikh Waqas Akram on Tuesday rejected reports circulating about Dr Yasmin Rashid’s wellbeing, saying she was alive and in Kot Lakhpat Jail.
Dr Yasmin, 74, a gynaecologist and cancer survivor, has been in custody since May 12, 2023, facing multiple allegations tied to riots sparked by the detention of PTI founder Imran Khan. Her wellbeing has repeatedly faltered, with hospitalisations in May and July 2024, and again in 2025 when she suffered severe abdominal pain and breathing difficulties.
"Dr Yasmin is, Alhamdulillah, alive and is in Kot Lakhpat Jail, sacrificing imprisonment and hardship for the sake of her head Imran Khan's ideology," Akram stated in a post on X.
He stated all the news being spread about Dr Yasmin was false and had no connection to reality, urging the general not to believe rumours about her.
Dr Yasmin also issued a comment through her lawyer, Advocate Rana Mudassar Umar, seeking to clarify reports circulating about a will.
