Imran Khan's Sons Raise Alarming Prison Health Concerns

Sulaiman Khan and Kasim Khan expressed grave fears for their father, former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, during an explosive news conference and interview with Sky Sports. The sons alleged that Pakistani authorities are attempting to harm him through prolonged isolation exceeding 23 hours daily at Adiala Jail. They claimed he has lost significant vision in one eye and lacks independent medical care.

Imran Khan has been imprisoned in Rawalpindi since August 2023 on various corruption-related charges. Despite Supreme Court orders for his transfer to Shifa International Hospital, he was reportedly returned to prison following a brief government medical check-up. The broadcast of this interview during the second England-Pakistan Test at Lord's sparked a major diplomatic and sports controversy.

The Pakistan Cricket Board lodged a formal complaint with Sky Sports and threatened a team walkout before the afternoon session over the political broadcast. Meanwhile, a group of 21 former international cricket captains, including Sunil Gavaskar and Kapil Dev, appealed to Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for humane treatment. The Pakistani government maintains that Khan receives appropriate medical care as a convicted prisoner.
