The sons of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, Kasim Khan and Suleiman Khan, are likely to visit Pakistan in January, after applying for visas, according to recent reports. The planned visit comes amid growing concern over Imran Khan’s continued imprisonment and the conditions in which he is being held.
In a recent interview with Sky News, Kasim and Suleiman spoke publicly about their father’s situation for the first time. They expressed serious concern over his health and safety, describing his prison cell as similar to a “death cell.” According to them, the cell reportedly has poor lighting, unclean drinking water, and basic facilities that do not meet acceptable standards.
The brothers said they have had limited contact with their father and rely mainly on information shared by his legal team. They stressed that their intention is not political, but humanitarian, saying they want to see their father and ensure his well-being. Their comments have drawn international attention to Imran Khan’s detention and the broader political situation in Pakistan.
Imran Khan, who was removed from office in 2022, has been facing multiple legal cases. His supporters claim the cases are politically motivated, while authorities maintain that legal processes are being followed according to the law.
The possible visit by Kasim and Suleiman is expected to attract significant media attention in Pakistan. Political analysts say their presence could increase public and international focus on Imran Khan’s imprisonment and prison conditions.
So far, there has been no official confirmation on the exact dates of their visit. However, officials indicate that visa applications are under review, and a January visit remains likely.
