Imran Khan: Silence Behind Bars
The room is bare—its cold cement floor echoing with silence. The faded blue-and-white walls carry the scent of years of confinement, perhaps even defiance. A modest bed stands in the corner, neatly made, its thin mattress betraying any hope for comfort. A pedestal fan hums lazily in the background, struggling against the summer heat. On the wall hangs a television, its black screen a lifeless rectangle above the sink and tap. Clothes hang on the side, dry and plain. A desk bears the weight of a few essentials—bottled water, toiletries, and scattered papers. But in the middle of this stark simplicity sits a man, dressed in black, engrossed in a book larger than life.
