Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan‘s ex-wife Jemima Khan says that there are reports that Imran Khan is in solitary confinement, literally in the dark and has no contact with the outside world.
Jemima said in her message on “X” that in the last few weeks there have been serious and disturbing developments regarding the treatment of my sons’ father, Imran Khan, in prison. Pakistani authorities have cut off all meetings with his family and lawyers, and court hearings have also been postponed. Apart from this, the phone conversations of his sons Sulaiman and Qasim Khan have also been stopped.
“We have received reports that the authorities have now switched off lights and electricity in Imran Khan’s cell and now he is not allowed to leave his cell at any time,” Jemima said. Jail Cook has been sent on leave. Now they are completely isolated, locked in isolation, literally in the dark with no contact with the outside world.
Jemima further wrote that these actions are aimed at targeting Imran’s family as well as trying to silence his party (PTI) members and supporters. Imran’s nephew Hasan Niazi, a civilian, has been detained in military custody since August 2023. Recently, Imran Khan’s sisters Uzma and Aleema Khan, who have continued to speak on Imran’s behalf, have also been arrested as they too took the path of peaceful protest. He is also currently in jail, yet there is no proper or legal basis for his imprisonment.
Jemima said that in June this year, the UN’s “Group on Arbitrary Detention” found that Imran had been illegally and arbitrarily detained and called for his immediate release.
Khawaja Asif’s reaction
Khawaja Asif responded to Jemima Goldsmith’s tweet and wrote that the father of his sons is being given the concession that he never gave to his opponents, Nawaz Sharif is not allowed to talk to his wife who is on her death bed. Granted, and what about other opposition members, these individuals were held without charge.
