Speaking in an interview with LBC, Imran Khan’s son, Kasim Khan, revealed:
Due to a blood clot behind his eye, Imran Khan has lost 90% of his vision in that eye and is not receiving proper medical treatment.
He is confined to a small 6x8 cell and is forced to bathe using dirty water.
Prolonged isolation has caused him to suffer from high blood pressure and heart palpitations.
He has not been allowed to speak with his children for over 7 months. The government's claims of providing full facilities are complete lies.
This is a grave violation of basic human rights. The nation and the international community must raise their voice for Imran Khan’s immediate access to quality medical care!
میں براہِ راست عاصم منیر سے سوال کرتا ہوں۔۔
کبھی تم صوبے بنا رہے ہو، کبھی صدر بن رہے ہو، کبھی مارشل لا لگا رہے ہو۔ عاصم منیر، تم ہو کون؟ تم نے پاکستان کو سمجھ کیا رکھا ہے؟ تم ایک عام چوکیدار ہو، تمہاری حیثیت عام شہری سے بھی کم ہے۔ تمہاری زمینیں، تمہارے بنگلے، کھربوں کی جائیدادیں کہاں سے آتی ہیں؟ ہم تمہیں امریکہ کے جرنیل کے برابر تنخواہ دینے کو تیار ہیں، لیکن تم جزیروں سے کم تو بات نہیں کرتے۔
صوبے بننے چاہئیں، لیکن عوام کی مرضی سے، تمہاری مرضی سے نہیں۔ میں قائداعظم کا بمبئی کا محل دیکھ رہا تھا، وہ یہاں زیارت میں پڑا تھا۔ قائداعظم نے وہ محل کیوں بنوایا؟ انہوں نے اپنی بیٹی کو نہیں دیا۔ وہ ایک مصروف ترین وکیل تھے۔ قائداعظم نے ہر چیز اپنی قوم کو دی۔
مشرف صاحب کا بیس پچیس ارب کا محل ہے، جس میں وہ ایک رات بھی نہیں رہ سکا۔ عاصم، تمہارا انجام بہت برا ہوگا، پتہ نہیں ہم ہوں گے یا نہیں۔ عوام اب ہر چیز جان چکی ہے۔ سہیل آفریدی کو کون جانتا تھا؟ اس نے اتنی عوام نکالی ہے۔
قوم عمران کو لیڈر مانتی ہے۔ وہ لاوارث نہیں ہے۔ تم کون ہو قوم کے لیڈر کا علاج روکنے والے؟ تم بتاؤ، آج تم ہو کون؟ تمہارے پاس صرف بندوق ہے۔
میں 70 سال سے سیاسی ورکر ہوں۔ تم میرا کیا کر سکتے ہو؟ مجھے 12 سال کی عمر میں آپ کے ایوب خان نے پہلی دفعہ 1964 میں جیل بھیجا۔ میں نے اسمبلی میں ضیاء الحق کو 1985ء میں کہا تھا:
اور یہی تمہیں کہتا ہوں
عاصم منیر، تمہیں بھی کہتا ہوں:
About turn quick march go back to your barracks and never come back again.
Pakistan's imprisoned former leader may not survive his imprisonment unless he's given proper medical treatment, one of his sons said. https://t.co/qa06Whhw0K
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۔

The treatment of Imran Khan at the hands of the Pakistani government is an international outrage.
Today Peers across the House urged the UK Foreign minister to step up
@ImranKhanPTI
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.
The ongoing detention and shocking mistreatment of Imran Khan is a grave violation of human rights, democracy and basic decency.
I reiterate my calls for his release.

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

No! Congressman, It was a sick Joke! Generals used “Supreme Court” like a condom to fool the world. Instead of admitting him in Shiffa International Hospital (as ordered by court) they took him to a Govt controlled hospital, declared him fit and put him back in his prison cell @RepHuizenga
We urge Pakistani authorities to unconditionally restore Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi Khan’s right to see their family and lawyers.
Both must be given access to adequate medial care and their solitary confinement, which is unlawful, should end immediately.

کشمیریوں کے قتل عام پر جو خاموش ہیں یہ بھی اس جرم میں شریک ہیں۔
انشاللہ وقت آنے پر ان تمام لوگوں کا احتساب ہو گا۔ اب معاملات مزید ایسے نہیں چل سکتے۔ اس بار سزائیں دینا پڑیں گی۔ اگر ملک بچانا ہے۔ آرٹیکل 6 لگانا پڑے گا۔
