Pakistan police fired tear gas at supporters of jailed former PM Imran Khan in Rawalpindi, as they gathered to mark the third anniversary of his imprisonment, amid heightened security and clashes with authorities.
The sons of the imprisoned former leader of Pakistan Imran Khan told CNN they fear for their father's health, claiming authorities in the South Asian country are preventing them from seeing him.
Pakistan's government said it "categorically rejects" the claim that Khan has faced a communication blackout or been denied access to his family, lawyers and doctors. Read more: https://t.co/FZSRdjTfaC
#WorldwideProtestsForImranKhan as he stands like a tall mountain, not bending, not bowing.
The protests are testament to his support. The only leader with the power of moving the whole world.
Today marks the third year of Imran Khan’s imprisonment. Against all odds, he and his party have stood firm in the face of adversity and injustice. For Pakistan to move forward, we must put an end to these cycles of political victimisation and stolen mandates.
For three years, Pakistan’s authorities have systematically denied Imran Khan the right to a fair trial, subjected him to prolonged solitary confinement, and limited his access to medical care and visitation rights.
He has not been allowed to meet his family for more than eight months and his vision has reportedly deteriorated significantly. Both he and his wife, Bushra Bibi Khan, have now been denied regular access to legal counsel since December 2025.
Amnesty International urges the 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 medical care and their solitary confinement, which is unlawful, should end immediately.
Ahead of planned gatherings by Imran Khan’s family, party and supporters to mark the anniversary, the authorities must facilitate the right to peaceful protest and ensure there is no repeat of the unlawful and arbitrary crackdowns on protesters so frequently witnessed in the country and against the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf.
Today marks 3 years since Imran Khan was unjustly incarcerated.
He is still being denied basic human rights and remains in solitary confinement.
His abominable treatment is an affront to democracy. I will continue to demand the release of all political prisoners, everywhere.
Amnesty International on Tuesday called on the federal government to release Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf founder and former premier Imran Khan ahead of the completion of three full years in incarceration.
