Imran's sons break silence on father's incarceration

  • Imran Khan, a 72-year-old former Pakistani prime minister and cricketer, is serving a 14-year corruption sentence in Adiala Jail, Rawalpindi, since August 2023.
  • The sentence and over 100 charges, including corruption and mishandling state secrets, stem from cases his party claims are politically motivated amid a broader democracy crackdown.
  • His sons Suleman and Qasim Khan , British citizens who rarely spoke publicly before, appealed internationally in a May 2024 interview for their father's release and described his harsh solitary confinement.
  • They stated Imran Khan is kept in isolation and darkness without basic rights or regular contact, urging "international pressure" and calling on Donald Trump and global leaders to help.
  • The brothers’ appeal highlights human rights concerns for Khan and political prisoners, reflecting exhaustion of legal avenues and emphasizing the need for democratic restoration in Pakistan.
