‘I Can’t See’: Imran Khan’s Sister Sounds Alarm on His Health in Detention

Quick Overview

Imran Khan's sister, Aleema Khan, asserts that the Pakistani establishment is systematically attempting to harm her brother while he is imprisoned, citing reports that he has only 15% vision remaining in his right eye and is being denied adequate medical care, including access to his personal doctor and necessary specialists, despite international support for his release and fair elections.

Key Points: Aleema Khan claims the Pakistani establishment is trying to poison or kill Imran Khan in prison, noting his vision loss to 15% in his right eye. Khan alleges that despite repeated requests, Imran Khan is being denied access to his personal doctor and necessary specialists for his eye condition and other health issues like high blood pressure and diabetes. The Pakistani establishment is accused of deliberately creating harsh living conditions, such as an 8x10 cell, to pressure Imran Khan. Aleema Khan states that neither the Pakistani government nor the UK government (which she mentions having spoken to) is taking sufficient action regarding her brother's health. She confirms that Imran Khan's sons, Qasim and Suleman, who were interviewed in London, have not been granted visas to visit him. The country's general populace and international allies (like those in Europe and the US) are seen as supportive of Imran Khan and the rule of law. The judiciary is allegedly under pressure, as evidenced by the judge refusing to hear the anti-terrorism case against Khan for protesting the rule of law.

Context: The video features an interview between Mehdi Hasan of Zeteo and Aleema Khan, sister of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan. Aleema Khan discusses the deteriorating health and alleged mistreatment of her brother, who is currently incarcerated. The conversation centers on specific allegations of deliberate harm, denial of medical care, and political pressure being exerted on Imran Khan while he is in custody, contrasting this with the strong public support he continues to command both domestically and internationally.
