Jemima Goldsmith urges UK govt to intervene over Imran Khan’s rights
Goldsmith said Pakistan is defying court orders and human rights standards by denying Khan medical care and family visits, with his sons saying they have not seen him since 2022.
- On Monday, Jemima Goldsmith urged British Prime Minister Andy Burnham and Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband to intervene over former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's detention, describing the situation as a "human-rights emergency."
- Pakistan's Supreme Court ordered Khan's transfer to Shifa International Hospital on August 18 for medical treatment, but the government sent him to PIMS on Saturday instead, prompting a contempt of court petition.
- Goldsmith alleged that Khan has spent three years in solitary confinement and has been denied contact with his family for nearly 10 months, citing UN Nelson Mandela Rules that define prolonged isolation as torture.
- Khan's sons, Sulaiman and Kasim, claim they have been blocked from visiting their father, while the government described their complaints as "misleading" and dismissed them as "political point-scoring."
- Kasim previously addressed the United Nations Human Rights Council regarding his father's detention, while Khan remains imprisoned amid pending trials under the Anti-Terrorism Act related to 2023 protests.
