He's Being 'TORTURED' - Imran Khan's Sons on Their Father's Imprisonment

Quick Overview

Imran Khan's sons, Sulaiman and Kasim Khan, reveal their father is being subjected to physical and mental torture in prison, living in inhumane conditions, including a 6'8" cell with murky water, and facing extreme isolation where guards are forbidden to speak to him, despite the Pakistani government claiming he is treated "like a prince."

Key Points: Imran Khan is held in a 6'8" cell, washing himself in "brown murky water," and experiencing complete isolation, which his sons identify as "torture tactics" intended to break him. The sons last spoke to their father in September (one for six minutes) and July, significantly missing mandated weekly calls, and the last in-person visit was after his November 2022 shooting. The British government told the sons they would receive no protection if arrested in Pakistan and urged them not to go, indicating they are not actively supporting their struggle. Imran Khan faces over 200 legal cases, with court hearings often conducted via WhatsApp while he remains confined to his cell, which Amnesty International suggests is the legal system being used to keep him imprisoned. Despite early hope regarding Donald Trump potentially intervening, the sons have become cynical about foreign policy, noting the Pakistani government's current 'graveling' to America seems effective. Imran Khan views his two years of imprisonment as a period of growth, allowing him to strategize and reach a "zen state" mentally, even enduring ten days of complete darkness without electricity. The sons plan to visit Pakistan in January if visas are approved, relying on a guarantee from the Defense Minister that they will not be arrested, despite previous conflicting statements from government officials.

Context: The interview features Sulaiman and Kasim Khan, the sons of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, discussing the severe conditions of their father's imprisonment and their efforts to advocate for his freedom. Imran Khan, a former cricket star turned politician, has been detained facing numerous legal challenges, leading his sons to break their long-held silence on political matters to bring international attention to his plight.
