Imran Khan's sons @Kasim_Khan_1999 and #SulaimanKhan speak to @TimesRadio#فیصلہ_اب_سڑکوں_پر_ہوگا
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
After international cricket captains and the legend Javed Miandad, another former Pakistani cricketer Moin Khan speaks up for Imran Khan and urges all fellow cricketers to raise voice for Imran Khan’s rights for urgent medical care.

میاں محمود الرشید کے ساتھ ظلم اور زیادتی کی بد ترین تاریخ رقم کی جا رہی ہے۔ فیلڈ مارشل عاصم منیر کو سوچنا چاہیئے کہ انکا زاتی عناد لوگوں کی زندگیاں تباہ کر رہا ہے۔
“My brother and I have not been able to visit our father for years. For the past six months, we haven’t even spoken to him. What my father is going through is a violation of his human rights.” - Sulaiman Khan, son of Imran Khan, addressing a press conference.
The Supreme Court has ordered that Imran Khan be allowed to speak with his children. Yet the authorities continue to deny him this basic right, in addition to refusing visas that would allow @Kasim_Khan_1999 and Sulaiman Khan to travel to Pakistan to see their father.

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.

[Big News From Today - Aug 23, 2026]
Former international cricket captains have once again written a letter to Pakistan PM over the treatment for Imran Khan.
They first wrote a similar letter in February and this one comes after Pakistan didn’t completely comply with Supreme Court directions.
There are three demands in the letter:
1) That the medical board directed by the Supreme Court, including Imran Khan's own doctors, be permitted to complete a full and independent assessment of his health, particularly the reported loss of vision in his right eye.
2) That the weekly family visits reinstated by the Court be honoured without interruption or administrative delay.
3) That whatever the outcome of that medical assessment, the treatment recommended by it be provided without delay.

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

جس عمران خان نے جانتے ہوئے کہ نواز شریف نے باہر جا کر سیاست کرنی ہے صحت کے مبینہ خطرے کی وجہ سے ملک سے باہر جانے دیا تھا، آج مسلم لیگ حکومت اس عمران خان کو مقامی ہسپتال نہیں جانے دے رہی۔ زرف کر فرق صاف ظاہر ہے
