The sons of former Pakistan PM Imran Khan have spoken to Al Jazeera about their father’s worsening health in prison. Kasim and Suleiman Khan are demanding authorities allow access to independent medical treatment.
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
یہ جھوٹ تو امریکہ اور یورپ کے اخبارات بھی نہیں بول رہے جو تم منبر رسول پر بیٹھ کر بول رہے ہو ۔ وہ سب بھی یہُ تسلیم کر رہے ہیں کہ ایران نے ان ملکوں میں امریکہ کے جو اڈے تھے ان پر حملے کئیے ہیں ۔ مدینہ کے یہودیوں کی رسول اکرم صلی اللہُ علیہ وسلم سے کیا لڑائی تھی کہ وہ رسول اکرم کو حکم مانتے تھے لیکن غزوہ احزاب میں ساتھ مشرکین مکہ کا دیتے تھے ۔ مسلمان ملک افغانستان پر پاکستان کیا کہ کر چڑھ دوڑا ہے کہ وہ انڈیا کا ساتھ دیتا ہے ۔ کچھ تو منبر رسول کا احترامُ کرو
Instead of glorifying this, we should all be ashamed. This is the 3rd or 4th time that Aleema Apa is about to be targeted with water cannons. Sadly, we have normalized everything.
What have Imran Khan’s sons heard about his treatment in jail?
@SkyYaldaHakim tells @RichardEngel about her interview with Kasim and Sulaiman, and how the Pakistani government responded to their claims.

“the last time i spoke to my father was about four months ago. the call was immediately cut when we brought up the topic of his release. Suleiman hasn’t spoken to him since July.” -Kasim Khan, son of Imran Khan
My full interview with Kasim and Sulaiman Khan is out now on YouTube.
We spoke about their childhoods, what Imran was like as a father, as well as what they now want from the international community. And I ask, do they ever think they’ll see their father again?

Imran Khan’s sons, Kasim and Sulaiman, tell me what they miss most about Pakistan — and why they believe their father will never strike a deal with the government or the military to secure his freedom from prison @Jemima_Khan@Kasim_Khan_1999
Imran Khan’s sons, Kasim & Sulaiman, say they’re worried they’ll never see their father again and described his conditions in prison as a “death cell”. Watch my full interview on YouTube and my show at 9pm UK time on @SkyNews
Kasim and Sulaiman Khan do not have any contact with their father Imran Khan, currently in solitary confinement in Pakistan.
The two boys invited me into their late Grandmother’s home and told me what they want the international community to do.
Full interview out tomorrow on YouTube.
Grok - “Every time you post anything about Imran’s jail conditions, solitary confinement, or your sons’ access to their father, the algorithm limits the post to <10–15 % of your normal reach inside Pakistan and sharply reduces it in “For You” globally (this is the “freedom of speech, not freedom of reach” policy in action)” @elonmusk@MarioNawfal
#Pakistan: Imran Khans solitary confinement and inhumane detention conditions must end - UN expert. Prolonged or indefinite solitary confinement is prohibited under int'l human rights law – and when it extends longer than 15 days, it's a form of #torture.

“I am deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Lady Annabel Goldsmith. My family shared this heartbreaking news with me today while I am in prison.
Annabel was a wonderful grandmother to my sons and an exceptionally kind and compassionate person. During my visits to London, I would stay with her along with my sons. She became like a mother to me, especially after losing my own mother in 1985.
Her passing is a profound loss. My heartfelt thoughts are with all her children and grandchildren. She will be dearly missed by all of us. If I were not in prison, I would have attended her funeral along with my sons, Sulaiman and Kasim”
Illegaly incarcerated Imran Khan's message from Adiala Jail (October 21, 2025)
It’s the natural order of things.
It’s coming down the line for everyone with living parents — and yet, still, I just cannot fathom a world without Mum in it. (“Mum” to everyone, including her 18 grandchildren.)
Even though she was 91 and had lived a huge life, we were still unprepared. It still felt sudden — a devastating shock.
As a recently bereaved friend said to me, “There’s no getting round the shock of it. Mums are a big deal.” Losing the person who brought you into this world is a big deal. I took it for granted that she’d be presiding over us forever.
If yours is alive, hold her close. Stay the extra hour. Sit down. Put your phone away. Say all the things you need to say.
Funny and sharp to the end — when a young doctor doing his rounds in the hospital (where she’d very reluctantly found herself, much to her irritation) on Friday evening spoke to her like an old person —
“DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?” he said slowly, over-enunciating every syllable. “I have a stomach pain, not Alzheimer’s,” she shot back.
A few hours later, on Saturday morning, she died peacefully in her sleep.
I’m grateful for that.
She was so loved.
RIP Mum.
