Imran Khan's Sons Allege Pakistan Blocking Visas Amid Health Concerns, Solitary Confinement

  • Imran Khan's sons, Sulaiman Isa Khan and Kasim Khan, claim Pakistan is deliberately stalling their visa applications to prevent them from visiting their ailing father.
  • Kasim Khan stated on X that his father has been in solitary confinement for 914 days, with his health deteriorating and denied independent medical care.
  • The sons' allegations intensify scrutiny of Islamabad's handling of Khan's detention, which critics describe as punitive and opaque.
  • Concerns over Khan's health mounted after he was taken to Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences for an eye procedure, with his party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, alleging he was denied doctors of his choice.
  • The situation has renewed international focus on Pakistan's human rights record, with accusations that isolation is being used as a tool of pressure.
