US EditionPolitical Turmoil: Imran Khan's Sons in Legal Limbo
PAKISTAN, JUL 10 – Jemima Goldsmith accuses Pakistani government of targeting Imran Khan's family to prevent political protests, with Khan held over 700 days and sons threatened with arrest, PTI says.
- Jemima Goldsmith condemned the Pakistani authorities on Thursday for threatening to detain her sons if they try to visit their father, Imran Khan, who has been held in solitary confinement for nearly two years.
- This situation arose because Imran Khan has been held in solitary confinement in Adiala Jail since August 2023 after his removal from power in April 2022 and faces multiple legal charges.
- Imran Khan's sons Kasim and Suleiman plan to visit the US first and then Pakistan to join the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's upcoming protest movement following Ashura-e-Muharram.
- Senior politician Irfan Siddiqui stated the sons have the right to engage in politics if done legally and that Imran Khan's release depends solely on his own behavior, not family intervention.
- The threats against the sons and isolation of Imran Khan suggest ongoing political tensions that could shape the PTI's protest actions and government responses in the near future.
