Former #Pakistan prime minister #ImranKhan 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.
I have contacted Pakistani officials for comment.
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.
We have been informed that my father, Imran Khan, has lost most of the vision in his right eye, with reports indicating only 15% eyesight remains. This is the direct consequence of 922 days of solitary confinement, medical neglect (denied blood tests) and the deliberate denial of proper treatment in jail.
The responsibility lies squarely with the regime in power, the Army Chief and the puppets enabling this cruelty. This physical deterioration is happening under their orders, their watch and their responsibility. They have manipulated and warped the justice system in order to keep my father in solitary confinement.
My brother and I are still being denied visas to see our father as his health deteriorates. History will record this injustice.
We urge human rights bodies, legal institutions and democratic nations to confront this persecution and ensure those responsible face consequences.
My father has been under arrest for 845 days. For the past six weeks, he has been kept in solitary confinement in a death cell with zero transparency. His sisters have been denied every visit, even with clear court orders allowing access. There have been no phone calls, no meetings and no proof of life. Me and my brother have had no contact with our father.
This absolute blackout is not a security protocol. It is a deliberate attempt to hide his condition and prevent our family from knowing whether he is safe.
Let it be clear: the Pakistani government and its handlers will be held fully accountable legally, morally and internationally for my father’s safety and for every consequence of this inhumane isolation.
I call on the international community, global human rights organisations and every democratic voice to intervene urgently. Demand proof of life, enforce court ordered access, end this inhumane isolation and call for the release of Pakistan’s most popular political leader who is being held solely for political reasons.
@TheGenXMind@F1 Same for McLaren's but guess what ? They are in Max's Pockets, Get Lando in a Merc or a redbull , ge ain't gon make past Q2 , It's not always about the car bit*h ! Don't you dare disrespect my GOAT 🐐
My father, former Prime Minister Imran Khan, has now spent over 700 days in prison - held in solitary confinement. He is denied access to his lawyers, not allowed visits from his family, fully cut off from us (his children), and even his personal doctor is refused entry. This is not justice. It is a deliberate attempt to isolate and break a man who stood for rule of law, democracy, and Pakistan.
میرے والد، سابق وزیرِ اعظم عمران خان، اب جیل میں 700 دن سے زیادہ قید کاٹ چکے ہیں- اُنہیں اپنے وکلا تک رسائی نہیں دی جا رہی، اہلِ خانہ سے ملاقات کی اجازت نہیں، ہم بچوں سے مکمل طور پر کٹ چکے ہیں، اور ذاتی معالج تک کو ملاقات سے روکا جا رہا ہے۔ یہ انصاف نہیں، بلکہ ایک سوچا سمجھا منصوبہ ہے کہ ایک ایسے شخص کو تنہا کیا جائے اور توڑا جائے جس نے ہمیشہ قانون کی حکمرانی، جمہوریت، اور پاکستان کے لیے آواز بلند کی.
🚨🇵🇰 EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: IMRAN KHAN’S SONS BREAK THEIR SILENCE
Every once in a while, I conduct an interview that could shape the politics of a country.
This may be one of them.
Imran Khan, who I spoke with just weeks before his arrest, was one of the most popular leaders of our time.
Often called the “Trump of Pakistan,” he had an approval rating above 60%.
But when he turned against the country’s powerful military establishment, the cost was immediate.
He was shot.
Then jailed.
Then banned — not just from office, but from television, radio, and social media.
And yet, even from behind bars, even with his name erased, his party still won a majority in Pakistan’s latest elections.
It didn’t matter.
Today, he sits in a 7x8 cell designed for death row inmates.
No light. No lawyer. No access to doctors. No due process.
His sons, Sulaiman and Kasim Khan, have spent their lives out of the spotlight, far from the chaos of Pakistani politics.
But for nearly 2 years, they’ve watched their father — wounded, silenced, and locked in solitary confinement — be forgotten by the world.
They haven’t seen him since he was shot.
Phone calls, when they come, arrive at random — sometimes at 4 a.m. — and last only 20 minutes before the line goes dead.
They stayed completely silent through all of it.
Not because they didn’t care — but because they were afraid speaking out would make things worse.
But now?
Now it’s been too long.
Now the silence feels like betrayal.
Now, they’re speaking — because this might be the only thing left they can do.
And they did not hold back.
To Pakistanis: do not lose hope.
To the international community: do not turn a blind eye.
Thank you @elonmusk and @lindayaX for X and your fight for free speech.
Disclaimers: This interview was conducted prior to the recent clashes between India and Pakistan.
I am not alleging the Pakistani military or Government was behind Imran’s assassination attempt.
Also note: Urdu voice over of the interview posted below as a comment.
01:26 — “He’s literally in the dark.”
No visits. No lawyers. No calls. No light.
02:16 — “He’s completely alone.”
No contact. No doctor. No way to know if he’s okay.
03:19 — “A death cell… for terrorists.”
7x8 feet. Blacked out. Designed to erase the human spirit.
04:09 — “First two days were hell.”
He survived 10 days in pitch darkness by forcing himself into a Zen-like state.
05:55 — “The line cuts at 20 minutes.”
Half the time: lessons. The rest: he asks about our lives.
06:50 — “We get a 4 a.m. message.”
If we miss it, it’s months before we hear from him again.
08:04 — “They’re trying to break him.”
No light. No doctors. No calls. But he refuses to fold.
09:16 — “He won’t take the deal.”
Not without his people. Not if it means betraying them.
13:22 — “We’ve run out of options.”
Legal routes are gone. Silence no longer helps. This is our last card.
15:19 — “They banned his name.”
On TV, radio, and online — we became the code for our own father.
17:01 — “We never spoke to Grenell.”
But we’re grateful. And we’ll speak to anyone who’ll listen.
18:27 — “It’s 100% political.”
False charges. Fake trials. A democracy on mute.
20:51 — “Yes, people have been taken.”
Supporters, journalists — vanished. Tortured. Broken.
22:06 — “He told us to stay private.”
But now? We have no choice.
24:03 — “We thought it’d be a few weeks.”
It’s been nearly two years.
26:26 — “He reads. He teaches. Then he listens.”
Each call is a lifeline.
28:05 — “They blurred him out.”
Even the 1992 World Cup photos — he was erased.
31:00 — “I’ve grown more in 2 years than 20.”
That’s what he tells us.
32:20 — “It’s getting desperate.”
New threats. Talk of a death sentence. No end in sight.
32:57 — “We asked him for permission.”
He said: Do it.
35:00 — “The last time we saw him, he’d been shot.”
Three bullets. Still standing. Still smiling.
36:45 — “We’re told not to come back.”
We might be used to break him further.
38:16 — “Respect the vote.”
PTI won — even without its symbol, even in silence.
39:38 — “Selling exotic fruit?”
That’s what they jailed him for.
40:53 — “Some family members were scared.”
But we have to try something.
42:07 — “He’s not done.”
Still learning. Still fighting. Still planning.
43:12 — “He’s 70. He was shot. And they deny him a doctor.”
This is not justice. This is torture.
Please watch & share this interview my boys Sulaiman & Kasim did about their father, Imran Khan, who has been held in solitary confinement for almost 2 years despite the UN ruling that his detention is arbitrary & unlawful. Proud Amma.
