The sons of Pakistan's former prime minister have told Sky News they fear they will never see him again.

Imran Khan has been in jail since August 2023 after being convicted in a string of cases that he says were politically driven following his ousting in a 2022 parliamentary vote.

Kasim and Sulaiman Khan told Sky's Yalda Hakim their father had been kept in solitary confinement for two years in "awful" conditions.

These meetings were held during court proceedings in jail. How shamelessly this zaidi is lying

This is happening because international powers like Trump and US miltory establishment are backing pakistani generals.
It's sad that they allow freedom of speech and rule of law in their countries but countries like Pakistan don't have that luxury...
Right now after 26th and 27th amendments, courts are working under government ( which means under Asim muneer), even supreme Court has no power.
Pakistani deserve rule of Law and freedom of speech...

Mosharraf Zaidi was lying - even as this interview was being aired at 9 pm (2 am in Pakistan) Imran Khan’s sisters were sitting outside the jail as they werent allowed a meeting today.

Imran Khan is a great leader of Pakistan and he is currently in jail illegally.

Heartbreaking to hear Qasim and Sulaiman speak so courageously about their father's inhumane treatment in solitary confinement—what they've called a "death cell." It's tragic how the world seems divided: corrupt politicians, elites, and dictators who manipulate the judiciary and cling to power through wealth and influence, while ordinary people are powerless, trapped in the middle with no real voice.

The United Nations, human rights organizations, and international courts remain silent or ineffective. Everyone knows what's right and who's suffering unjustly, yet no one in power speaks out— and when someone does, they're silenced or punished. This isn't justice; it's persecution. Praying for Imran Khan's safety and release. The truth can't be buried forever. 🇵🇰💔

Your voice means alot, imran khan is innocent

@shumailapk2179 9 months ago

Zaidi is such a liar. He is mixing numbers so bad.
There is nothing like that .
The government and asim muneer is so cruel, they even fired bullets in heads on 28th nov 24.
There is no rule for government morons and this stupid Asim muneer life time immunity but all rules twisted for imran khan and poor people of pakistan

Shame to see the PMs advisor lying and playing dirty politics. Everything is controlled by the Military Chief Asim Munir a psychopath and he is vengeful against Imran Khan. Imran Khan is in a death cell in solitary confinement.
