Imran Khan’s sons publicly accuse Pakistan’s army chief, Asim Munir, of carrying out a “personal vendetta” against their father, who is imprisoned. Kasim and Sulaiman Khan say they believe Imran Khan is being “slowly killed” through harsh treatment in jail, and they describe his conditions as amounting to torture.
The sons say they have been unable to contact their father for more than six months and express concern about his eye condition, warning it could lead to major vision impairment if not properly treated. Both outlets report that international scrutiny is increasing around Khan’s incarceration and treatment, with the family continuing to campaign for his release.
Pakistan’s government rejects the allegations, describing them as unfounded “propaganda.” While the sons attribute the treatment to an alleged personal dispute involving Munir, official responses frame the claims as unreliable and contested. Imran Khan has been held at Adiala prison near Rawalpindi since his arrest in 2023, serving a 14-year sentence on corruption charges, according to both reports.
