Former Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan has suffered severe vision loss in prison.

His family and lawyer say he has 15% vision left in his right eye after prison authorities neglected to take action for months.

Pakistani officials have been contacted for comment.

A personal plea to @elonmusk
My two sons have not been allowed to see or speak to their father Imran Khan who has been held unlawfully (acc to the UN) for 22 months of solitary confinement.
X is the only place left where we can still tell the world he is a political prisoner without basic human rights.
Yet every time I post about him, the reach inside Pakistan (and often globally) is throttled to almost zero.
You promised free speech, not “speech but no one hears it”.

Waylon is a fighter, he had to have a feeding tube put in due to the damage his stepdad caused to his pancreas on Christmas day.

Justice for Waylon

I join @Jemima_Khan in expressing my grave concerns regarding the wellbeing of Imran Khan. The description of prison conditions are against international law. IK must see lawyers. I am also concerned for other family members and PTI. His sons must be allowed contact.

In the last few weeks there have been serious and concerning developments regarding my sons’ father, Imran Khan’s treatment in prison. The Pakistan authorities have stopped all visits to him by his family and his lawyers. They have also postponed all court hearings. In addition to cutting off in- person visits, and in defiance of a court order, his weekly calls to his sons, Sulaiman and Kasim Khan, who are British and who live in London, were stopped on 10th September. We have received reports that the authorities have now turned off the lights and electricity in his cell and he is no longer allowed to leave his cell at any time. The jail cook has been sent on leave. He is now completely isolated, in solitary confinement, literally in the dark, with no contact with the outside world. His lawyers are concerned about his safety and well-being.

These actions come in the context of ongoing targeting of Imran’s family, as well as his party (PTI) members and supporters in an attempt to silence them and all political opposition in Pakistan. Imran’s nephew, Hassan Niazi, a civilian, has been detained in military custody since August 2023. More recently, Imran Khan’s sisters, Uzma and Aleema Khan, who have continued to speak out on his behalf, have also been arrested as they made their way peacefully to a demonstration and they are currently being held in jail, despite there being no proper or lawful basis for their imprisonment.

In June this year the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention found that Imran is unlawfully and arbitrarily detained and called for his immediate release.

 As a matter of urgency , we are calling for Imran Khan’s release, and for the release of his sisters and nephew as well as for his sons’ contact with their father to be re-established, so that they may have assurance first-hand that he is well and not being mistreated.

@realMaalouf This is not Sharia law at all, stop spreading lies. Islam doesn’t allow this at all.

This is 16 year old Tajamul.

He is the son of member PTI Hussain Chajra.
He was abducted by Pakistan’s state agencies (after the Supreme Court awarded the reserved seats to PTI), in order to coerce his father to leave Imran Khan’s PTI.

🔴 Press release

Decision to ban PTI unconstitutional, must be withdrawn immediately

Lahore, 15 July 2024. HRCP is shocked by the government’s decision to ban the PTI. Not only is this move in flagrant violation of party members’ right to association under Article 17 of the Constitution, but it is also an enormous blow to democratic norms, especially when the Supreme Court has unanimously ruled that the PTI is a political party. Moreover, such a move reeks of political desperation, given that it follows closely on the heels of the apex court’s ruling that has effectively made the PTI the single largest party in the National Assembly after making it eligible for reserved seats for women and minorities.

HRCP demands that this unconstitutional decision be withdrawn immediately. If pushed through, it will achieve nothing more than deeper polarization and the strong likelihood of political chaos and violence. No government can afford to have a selective memory and conveniently forget the consequences of banning or demonizing political parties lest it find itself on the receiving end of such measures.

HRCP also reminds the government that it needs to prioritize relief to its beleaguered citizens who are caught in a continuing cost-of-living crisis and rising violence, crime and militancy. It cannot do this without the support of its allies as well as its rivals.

A United Nations report found that Pakistan’s former prime minister was jailed to stop him from running for office. This is undemocratic and unacceptable.

Imran Khan — along with all other political prisoners in Pakistan — should be immediately freed.

Former Pakistan PM Imran Khan is currently in prison on charges of an "un-Islamic marriage," because the court ruled his wife hadn't had enough menstrual cycles between her official divorce and her marriage to Khan.

I asked the State Department why it can sanction Georgia over a foreign agent law but Pakistan can jail its most popular politician over his wife's menstrual cycle and State doesn't say a peep. Our exchange:
