Sons of Jailed Pakistani Leader Imran Khan Fear for His Health
Kasim and Sulaiman Khan say authorities have blocked family access and withheld reports as concerns grow over Imran Khan’s treatment and isolation.
- On Thursday, Imran Khan's sons, Kasim and Sulaiman Isa Khan, expressed fears for their father's health in a CNN interview as PTI workers rallied nationwide Wednesday demanding his release, three years after his August 2023 imprisonment.
- Imran was imprisoned on August 5, 2023, for concealing Toshakhana gifts and is serving a 14-year sentence in a £190 million corruption case, while facing pending trials related to May 2023 riots.
- Rejecting allegations of neglect, the Pakistani government stated Khan resides in an 'exclusive seven-cell compound' and receives medical care, insisting evidence shows 'repeated and substantial access' to the prisoner.
- The Ministry of Information countered that Kasim and Sulaiman hold valid travel documents, though the sons argue their cards expired, hindering visits amid the visa dispute.
- Amnesty International urged authorities this week to 'unconditionally restore' family and legal access, warning that solitary confinement is unlawful and demanding the pair receive adequate medical care immediately.
