Imran Khan’s sons express deep concern for their father’s well-being as he remains incarcerated in what they describe as a “death cell.” Kasim and Sulaiman Khan recently spoke to Sky News’ The World with Yalda Hakim about the psychological torture their father is enduring.
Harsh Prison Conditions
Since his imprisonment in August 2023, Imran Khan has been in solitary confinement. His sons report distressing living conditions, including:
- Filthy drinking water
- Proximity to inmates suffering from hepatitis
- Total isolation from human contact
Kasim Khan emphasized the severity of the situation, stating, “It’s getting harder to see a route out at this point.” He voiced their growing fear that they may never see their father again due to the deteriorating conditions.
Official Statements and Isolation
Sulaiman Khan revealed that an army spokesperson recently confirmed Imran Khan’s full isolation. He criticized the prison conditions as “completely substandard” and in violation of international laws regarding the treatment of prisoners.
Background on Imran Khan’s Political Turmoil
The former prime minister was convicted on various charges, which he claims are politically motivated following his removal from office in a parliamentary vote in 2022. Before his political career, Khan gained fame as a cricket star, leading Pakistan to its first Cricket World Cup victory in 1992.
Khan’s Stance on Corruption
Kasim Khan also shared insights into his father’s steadfastness, asserting that Imran Khan would “never take a deal” that would abandon his political allies. He remains committed to combating corruption in Pakistan, a mission he has reportedly shared with his sons many times.
The situation continues to attract attention, and government spokesperson Mosharraf Zaidi is expected to address further developments during an interview with Yalda Hakim, airing tonight on Sky News at 9 PM.
