Kasim Khan, the son of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, voiced worry about his father's solitary confinement and 845-day detention. He demanded international involvement while denouncing the repressive regime.
As news of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan's passing spread, his son Kasim Khan became upset at not being able to get in touch with his father. He requested assistance from international organizations and democratic countries, claiming that the country's well-liked leader is being treated cruelly by the government.
"Lack of transparency while imprisoned in a death cell"
In a post on X, Kasim Khan criticized the Pakistani government and denounced the repressive regime, writing, "My father has been under arrest for 845 days." He has been held in a death cell in solitary confinement with no transparency for the last six weeks.
He stated, "His sisters have been denied every visit, even with clear court orders allowing access," in reference to the family member's inability to communicate with the leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). There have been no meetings, no phone conversations, and no evidence of life. My brother and I have not communicated with our father.
According to Kasim Khan, "this complete blackout is not a security protocol."
"This absolute blackout is not a security protocol," he said, expressing concern over his 73-year-old father's isolation. It is a conscious effort to conceal his illness and keep our family in the dark about his safety.
"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," the 26-year-old continued, arguing that there are political reasons for his father's detention.
In order to secure "the release of Pakistan's most popular political leader," he encouraged democratic nations and international human rights organizations to demand accountability.
Imran Khan's sister speaks up against her brother's treatment
This declaration coincides with Noreen Niazi, one of Imran Khan's sisters, speaking out about the repressive policies of the Shehbaz Sharif-led administration. As she described the degree of media control in her nation, she drew comparisons between the circumstances in Pakistan and Hitler's Nazi Germany.
She claimed that her brother was under tremendous pressure and that Imran Khan is a leader rather than a politician. "Imran Khan is being tortured so that he would say, 'Spare me, I am leaving the nation', as Nawaz Sharif or Zardari did before him," Noreen Niazi was cited by ANI as saying.
She claimed that the United States and England are backing the Pakistani government. She emphasized that she had no expectations from the world community and that her sole hope is that Pakistanis will rebel against the government and fight for their rights.
In an interview with ARY News, Rana Sanaullah, who advises the prime minister on political matters, denied reports that the PTI leader had passed away and stated that Imran Khan was still in Adiala jail and doing well. He claimed that a medical staff was in charge of the former PM's "medicine, diet, facilities [and] exercises."
