I’ve been instructed to call on the public not to attempt to march or protest nearby Adiala jail on 27 March. I’ve heard from sources that this may be used as an excuse for the establishment to launch a “counter” assault on the jail (Which my father is being held in), which could endanger his life. Please do not give them any reasons for “accidents” to happen to my father during the protest.
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.
We have received reports that Imran Khan was again taken to PIMS in the early hours of 15 June. We found out through a tweet by Barrister Gohar on the morning of 15 June.
We reject any medical report generated by PIMS regarding Imran Khan’s condition. The same institution has previously made questionable claims, including the assertion that Imran Khan had recovered 90% of his eyesight. Imran Khan himself rejected these claims when his lawyer later met him at Adiala Jail.
A fundamental question remains unanswered: Why does Imran Khan require a fifth injection?
We do not accept the government’s version of events. We demand that Imran Khan be examined and treated by independent, qualified specialists at Shifa International Hospital, Islamabad. This is an urgent and immediate priority.
A full bench court order permits six family members to meet Imran Khan every Tuesday. Yet over the past eight months, the authorities have largely violated this order. My sister, Dr. Uzma Khan, has only been allowed to meet him a few times, and her last meeting took place on 2 December, 2025.
We reject the government’s continued use of isolation and deprivation as tools of pressure against Imran Khan. Today, we expect all six family members to be allowed to meet him in accordance with the court’s order.
The denial of Imran Khan’s rights is not merely a political issue; it is a clear violation of both the jail manual and High Court orders.
According to the jail manual, Imran Khan is entitled to:
1. A weekly telephone call with his sons.
2. A weekly meeting with family members.
3. A weekly meeting with his legal counsel.
4. Access to books and reading material.
5. Access to television and newspapers.
6. Access to proper medical treatment and regular medical check-ups.
7. Notification to immediate family members before any medical procedure is carried out.
In addition, High Court full bench orders provide that:
1. Imran Khan must be allowed to speak with his sons by telephone.
2. Six family members and six lawyers may meet him every Tuesday.
3. Six friends, including party representatives, may meet him every Thursday.
We demand the immediate restoration of all of Imran Khan’s lawful rights as a prisoner, with access to independent and professional medical treatment in presence of family as the highest and most urgent priority.
Today, I had the honour of speaking to the 47 countries that comprise the @UN#HumanRightsCouncil urging the immediate release of my father @imrankhanpti and all #Pakistan’s #politicalprisoners. Along with this, I want to be very clear. Like my father, I fully support maintaining GSP+ as the people of #Pakistan should never be punished for the actions of its leaders. But the Pakistani regime must also fully comply with the 27 treaties it committed to follow to obtain this benefit, including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and Convention Against Torture. @UN@ptiofficial #HumanRights #ImranKhanUnlawfullyDetained
Pakistan’s Supreme Court has ordered an urgent medical review for former PM Imran Khan after reports emerged that he has lost 85% of the vision in his right eye due to medical neglect in prison https://t.co/PqVAfObLb5
عمران خان کی صحت سے متعلق سنگین مسئلہ، حکومتی اور اڈیالہ جیل انتظامیہ کی ہٹ دھرمی پر پاکستان تحریک انصاف کا ردعمل:
باوثوق صحافتی ذرائع کے مطابق سابق وزیراعظم عمران خان کی دائیں آنکھ میں CRVO (Central Retinal Vein Occlusion) کی تشخیص ہوئی ہے، جس کے باعث ان کی آنکھ کی وین میں خطرناک بلاکیج پیدا ہو چکی ہے۔ ڈاکٹروں کے مطابق یہ ایک نہایت حساس اور سنگین طبی مسئلہ ہے، جس کا بروقت اور مناسب علاج نہ ہونے کی صورت میں مستقل بینائی متاثر ہونے کا شدید خدشہ موجود ہے۔ جیل انتظامیہ ضد پر اڑی ہوئی ہے کہ علاج جیل کے اندر ہی کیا جائے، جبکہ معالج ڈاکٹر واضح طور پر کہہ چکے ہیں کہ یہ علاج جیل میں ممکن نہیں اور اس کے لیے آپریشن تھیٹر اور خصوصی سہولیات درکار ہیں۔
عمران خان کو آخری م��تبہ اپنے ذاتی معالج تک رسائی اکتوبر 2024 میں دی گئی تھی، اور اس کے بعد سے اسلام آباد ہائی کورٹ کے واضح احکامات کے باوجود ان کے ذاتی ڈاکٹر کو آج تک معائنہ کی اجازت نہیں دی جا رہی۔ یہ ایک بیگناہ قیدی اور بنیادی انسانی حقوق کی سنگین خلاف ورزی ہے۔ عمران خان صاحب کے باقاعدہ میڈیکل چیک اپ سے متعلق ایک پٹیشن اگست 2025 سے عدالت میں زیر التوا ہے، جسے جان بوجھ کر نہیں سنا جا رہا۔ حکومت کی یہ روش اس بات کا ثبوت ہے کہ حکومت سیاسی انتقام کی آگ میں ایک قیدی کی جان اور صحت سے کھیلنے پر تُلی ہوئی ہے۔
حکومت سے مطالبہ کرتے ہیں کہ عمران خان صاحب سے انکی فیملی اور رفقاء کی بنا کسی دیر فوری ملاقات کروائے تاکہ عوام کو تسلی ہو اور عمران خان صاحب کو فوری طور پر شوکت خانم اسپتال یا ان کی مرضی کے کسی بھی معتبر اسپتال میں علاج کرانے کی اجازت دے، جہاں مکمل سہولیات کے ساتھ ماہر ڈاکٹروں کی نگرانی میں ان کا علاج ممکن ہو۔ ہم عدلیہ سے بھی پُرزور اپیل کرتے ہیں کہ یہ معاملہ سیاست کا نہیں بلکہ صحت کا ہے، اور اس میں کسی بھی قسم کی کوتاہی ناقابلِ قبول ہوگی۔
اگر خدانخواستہ عمران خان کی بینائی کو کوئی مستقل نقصان پہنچا تو اس کی تمام تر ذمہ داری براہِ راست حکومت اور جیل انتظامیہ پہ عائد ہوگی جو عدالتی احکامات کے باوجود علاج میں رکاوٹ ڈال رہے ہیں۔
