US EditionImran Khan's sons fear for his health, seek visas to visit him in Pakistan
Khan's sons, based in London, have applied for visas to visit him after over two years, citing concerns about his vision loss and denied treatment in jail, his lawyer said.
- On Feb 16, 2026, Imran Khan's sons in London sought permission to visit him after more than two years, fearing his deteriorating health in a Pakistani jail.
- Last week the lawyer told Pakistan's Supreme Court that Khan had lost significant vision in his right eye while in custody, and a medical board said on Feb 16 the swelling had reduced and his vision improved.
- They applied for visas last month but have yet to receive a response, and Sulaiman said `Maybe the establishment is worried that if we go and see him it would create more noise, and just more attention to his situation` on Feb 12.
- The domestic unrest heightens pressure around access and medical care as authorities say medical procedures are under way and reject neglect claims, while PTI supporters have blocked major highways linking Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to Punjab for four days, affecting fuel and food supplies.
- Khan, 73, has been jailed since August 2023 after convictions he and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf call politically motivated, facing multiple cases since his 2022 ouster with some appeals pending.
