Michael Holding Goes on Tirade Against Pakistan Government over Imran Khan: ‘Ridiculous How the Man Is Being Treated’
- On Tuesday, seven former Australian cricket captains urged Foreign Minister Penny Wong to address detention concerns for former Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan, citing fears for his well-being.
- Led by Greg Chappell, the group including Allan Border, Belinda Clark, and Steve Waugh noted that Australians hold Khan in high regard for his cricketing skill and humanitarian work building cancer hospitals.
- The signatories emphasized they take no position on the legal or political case, stressing that "the treatment of any person in detention is a matter of basic humanity" regardless of politics.
- Pakistan's Ministry of Information and Broadcasting rejected allegations of "punitive solitary confinement, cruelty or deprivation," stating Khan is provided home-cooked food, exercise equipment, and appropriate dietary facilities.
- This appeal follows calls from Australian Test skipper Pat Cummins last month for urgent medical care for Khan, while Greens foreign affairs spokesman David Shoebridge has also pressured the government for action.
