Imran Khan’s sons, @Kasim_Khan_1999 and Sulaiman, said in their interview with @Athersmike on @SkySportsNews that they have not spoken to their father since March.
The Supreme Court of Pakistan ordered the regime last week to allow Imran Khan to speak with his sons by phone twice a week. This directive followed multiple other court orders that the regime continues to flout with impunity.

🇵🇰 Former PM Imran Khan’s sons say they’re genuinely scared they could lose their father in prison.
Kasim and Sulaiman spoke to Sky Sports at Lord’s, with their father’s portrait hanging right behind them. They haven’t seen him since 2022 and haven’t even spoken to him since March.
And what they’re describing is brutal.
They say he now spends more than 23 hours a day alone in a small cell, has lost 80% of the vision in one eye and is struggling with his health.
Kasim: “They are just blatantly trying to kill him in there.”
Even after the Supreme Court ordered him moved to a private hospital, his sons say he was taken to a government facility for a few hours and then sent straight back to jail.
The government of course denies mistreating him and says he has food, books, TV and space to exercise.
And here’s where it gets even more frustrating. After his sons spoke about all of this, the Pakistan Cricket Board complained to Sky over the interview.
Forget the politics for a second. These are two sons who just want to see their dad, talk to him and know if he’s okay.

Prime Minister @andyburnham and Foreign Secretary @Ed_Miliband : how much longer will Britain remain silent?
For three years the father of my two sons, and Pakistan’s former Prime Minister, Imran Khan, has been brutally penalised by his political opponents, in a personal vendetta by Army Chief, Asim Munir, which according to the UN, amounts to torture and which is now taking a potentially fatal toll on his physical and mental health.
He has endured 3 years of solitary confinement. For nearly ten months now his family has been denied contact with him. He has been deprived of the most basic human contact, denied access to books, lawyers and doctors.
The international human-rights standards are unequivocal. Under the UN’s Nelson Mandela Rules, solitary confinement lasting more than 15 consecutive days is prohibited and amounts to torture.
He has endured this treatment not for 15 days, but for three years.
Pakistan’s own Supreme Court has now intervened: ordering comprehensive medical treatment, access to his personal doctor, regular family visits and twice-weekly calls with his sons.
Yet those orders are being defied.
This is no longer simply a Pakistani political matter. It is a human-rights emergency.
He has deep and lifelong ties to Britain. He studied at Oxford University, captained Oxford University cricket and spent years playing county cricket in England. His relationship with this country stretches back more than half a century. His charitable activities were internationally recognised, and include building the only free cancer hospital in Pakistan as well as a university.
His sons, my two boys, Sulaiman and Kasim, are British citizens. They have been forced to watch their father’s health decline from thousands of miles away, prevented from visiting him, denied visas, publicly threatened by government officials with arrest themselves, and even denied court-mandated regular phone calls.
I have repeatedly appealed to the UK government to intervene. Purported attempts at back channelling have evidently failed. The previous Foreign Secretary @DavidLammy informed me in writing that Britain would not intervene if my sons, British citizens, are arrested when they travel to Pakistan to visit their father.
@FCDOGovUK: Britain must now speak out publicly and unequivocally. Demand that Pakistan comply with its own Supreme Court; restore Imran Khan’s medical access, his right to see his family, end his prolonged isolation and uphold his fundamental human rights.
Pakistan is a Commonwealth country. Britain has a long and proud tradition of standing against arbitrary detention, inhumane treatment and the denial of fundamental rights. Those principles mean very little if we invoke them only selectively and neglect them when inconvenient.
This an appeal to the new Burnham government to please now do the right thing.

Jailed former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has been shifted back to Adiala Jail after undergoing a medical check-up at Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad.
The 73-year-old PTI founder was taken to the hospital following a Supreme Court order directing specialised medical care. A team of six specialist doctors examined Khan and determined that he could safely remain in prison.
Khan has remained in prison since August 2023 and continues to challenge multiple convictions and cases.

“They want to kill me like they killed Morsi.” Imran Khan told his sister that he has been subjected to torturous solitary confinement, where his health has deteriorated and he was denied medical care.
#StopTortureOnNationalHero
The Government’s defiance of a binding order of the Supreme Court is clear contempt and must be punished under Article 204(2)(a) of the Constitution of Pakistan. This is an insult to the entire legal fraternity and judiciary!
