‘Our father is being slowly killed’: Imran Khan’s sons slam Pakistan Army chief Asim Munir
Kasim Khan, 27, and Sulaiman Khan, 29, said they were “deeply, deeply concerned” about their 73-year-old father’s health.
The sons of jailed former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan have accused army chief General Asim Munir of pursuing a “personal vendetta” against their father and said they fear he is being “slowly killed” in prison, as a court hearing over Khan’s medical treatment and access to his family takes place in Islamabad.
Kasim Khan, 27, and Sulaiman Khan, 29, told The Guardian in an interview that they were “deeply, deeply concerned” about their 73-year-old father’s health and alleged that his conditions at Adiala prison in Rawalpindi amounted to “a form of mental and physical torture”. Khan has been imprisoned since 2023 and is serving a 14-year sentence in a corruption case.
“The reality is that he is locked in a tiny 6x8ft cell without human contact,” Sulaiman told the outlet, alleging that Khan had not been allowed new books for months and had been denied access to his family and an independent doctor. He also said Khan’s eye condition had been neglected and that his father had “probably almost lost sight in one eye”.
