🚨 ‘Blatantly trying to kill him’: Imran Khan’s sons have made explosive claims about the former Pakistan PM’s prison conditions, alleging prolonged isolation and inadequate medical care.

Adding my support here to GC and the other former international captains. I hope the court ordered medical assessment be allowed to run its course, and that family visits continue. I hope Imran Khan is treated with the dignity anyone deserves
"He's often talked about the difference between pleasure and happiness. Pleasure is short-term; happiness is long-term."
Imran Khan's sons speak about battling from their home in London to ensure he is treated humanely in prison in Rawalpindi.

“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.” - Jemima Khan
so that’s why Kasim & Sulaiman didn’t come to Pakistan…
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.
I am an Imran Khan man
The dictatorship in Pakistan can no longer pretend Imran Khan does not exist, now that the court has ordered him moved to hospital. The regime has tortured or slow poisoned him almost to death

فرض کرتے ہیں یہ بات درست ہے کہ عمران خان نے علیمہ خانم کے خلاف بہت سخت پیغام بھجوایا ہے۔ اب عمران خان کی صرف عظمی اور نورین خانم سے ملاقات ہوئی ہے۔ اب بہنوں نے اس سخت پیغام کو علیمہ خانم تک تو پہنچا دیا ہوگا کہ بھائی غصے میں ہے لیکن کسی صحافی ، کسی سورس ، کسی اندر کی خبر والے کے ساتھ تو ہرگز ہرگز شئیر نہیں کیا ہوگا کیونکہ ایسا کرنے سے بہن کی سبکی ہوتی۔
تو پھر یہ بات اسد اللہ خان تک کیسے پہنچی؟ یاد رہے ہم فرض کررہے ہیں کہ عمران خان نے ایسا کچھ کہا ہے۔ تو پھر یقیننا یہ بات ان مائکس میں ریکارڈ ہوئی ہوگی جو فوج نے عمران خان کے اردگرد بچھا رکھے ہیں۔ تو یعنی یہ بات فوج نے سنی ہوگی اور فوج نے اسد اللہ خان کو دے دی ہوگی۔ ممکن ہے فوج نے یہ خبر ڈائریکٹ صدیق جان کو دی ہو لیکن صدیق جان نے اسد اللہ خان کو دے دی ہو۔یاد رہے کہ ابھی تک ہم مفروضے کی بنیاد پر چل رہے ہیں۔ تو پھر یہ بات تو ثابت ہوئی کہ فوج انہیں یہ خبریں خود پھیلانے کے لیے دیتی ہے۔ اگر فوج نے نہیں دی ، یا کسی درمیانے صحافی کی مدد سے نہیں آئی تو یہ خبر پھر یا تو جھوٹ ہے ��ا اسد اللہ خان خود اس ملاقات میں موجود تھے۔
کیسا؟
