Imran Khan’s Sons Plan Pakistan Visit in January
Imran Khan’s sons have announced plans to visit Pakistan in January. The move has renewed attention on the former prime minister’s imprisonment. Kasim Khan and Suleiman Khan say they have applied for visas and expect approval soon.
Their statement comes amid growing concern over Imran Khan’s jail conditions. The brothers claim he is being held in a cell they describe as a “death cell.”
Visa Applications Submitted
Kasim Khan said both brothers live in London and had delayed travel earlier due to safety warnings. He explained that public assurances from Pakistani officials encouraged them to apply.
They now hope to see their father after months of limited contact. However, they remain cautious due to past restrictions.
Claims of Harsh Jail Conditions
‘Death Cell’ Allegations
Suleiman Khan said the cell has poor lighting and frequent power cuts. He also claimed the water supply is dirty. According to him, the conditions do not meet international standards.
Kasim added that the situation is “awful” and deeply worrying. He said Imran Khan avoids discussing his hardships during their limited contact.
No Willingness to Cut a Deal
The brothers said Imran Khan will not accept a political deal for release. Kasim explained that his father sees fighting corruption as his life’s mission.
Leaving Pakistan, he said, would leave Imran Khan depressed. The family respects his decision, despite personal pain.

Calls for International Oversight
The brothers urged the international community to ensure basic human rights. They stressed the need for independent monitoring of prison conditions.
They also plan to raise the issue in Geneva and Brussels. Their goal is to increase pressure through legal and diplomatic channels.
Government Rejects Allegations
Pakistani officials deny claims of isolation or mistreatment. They say Imran Khan meets lawyers and family regularly. Authorities also reject accusations of solitary confinement.
Still, human rights groups remain concerned. A UN rapporteur has warned about possible inhuman treatment.
As Imran Khan’s sons plan their Pakistan visit, debate around his detention continues. Their claims have intensified global scrutiny. The coming weeks may prove critical for both the family and Pakistan’s political future.
