Imran Khan’s sons have publicly broken their silence for the first time, condemning the jail conditions their father faces. They described his treatment as “inhumane” and called on the international community to apply pressure on Pakistan.
Suleman Khan (28) and Qasim Khan (26), sons of Imran Khan and British author Jemima Goldsmith, spoke out in an online interview. They live in the UK and had remained quiet until now. Qasim stated, “We’ve tried every legal channel. Nothing has worked. We’re now left with no option but to speak publicly.”
Imran Khan, arrested in August 2023, remains in Adiala Jail. He faces charges related to a £190 million corruption case. Authorities have also charged him under anti-terror laws after the May 9 protests.
According to Qasim, legal resources are exhausted. He believes international attention is now the only way to secure basic rights for his father. “Our motive isn’t political. This is about justice and human dignity,” he explained.
Suleman Khan added, “There’s silence in global media. People need to know the truth. Even though courts allowed us weekly phone calls with him since November 2023, we rarely get to speak.”
The brothers alleged that Khan lacks access to basic human needs in jail. They claim the Pakistani authorities are ignoring court orders and mistreating him. “My father deserves justice, not isolation and disrespect,” Qasim said.
They emphasized that their concern is not about politics or elections. It’s a plea for fair treatment and humanitarian respect.
This statement has reignited global concern over Pakistan’s legal system and human rights record. Imran Khan’s supporters have long claimed that his arrest is politically motivated. Many now hope that growing international attention might lead to intervention or at least increased scrutiny.
Rumors about Khan’s health have circulated, but officials deny any serious issues. However, the lack of transparency has only deepened fears among his family and supporters.
By stepping into the public eye, Khan’s sons have refocused international attention on their father’s treatment. Their emotional appeal asks the world to demand justice and humane conditions before it’s too late.
