Imran Khan's Sons Accuse Army Chief of Personal Vendetta

The sons of former Prime Minister Imran Khan allege he is facing torture and medical neglect in prison while the Pakistani government denies the claims.

The sons of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, Kasim and Sulaiman Khan, have accused Pakistan's army chief, Asim Munir, of pursuing a personal vendetta against their father. They allege that the 73-year-old former leader is being subjected to mental and physical torture in solitary confinement at Adiala prison in Rawalpindi, where he is serving a 14-year sentence for corruption.

The Khan family claims the former prime minister is being denied neutral medical care for a severe eye condition and has been blocked from speaking with family members for more than six months. The Government of Pakistan has rejected these allegations as fake propaganda, asserting that Khan has adequate conditions and medical access.

Legal and political tensions are escalating as the Supreme Court of Pakistan prepares to rule on whether the government is in contempt of court for denying Khan private hospital treatment. Simultaneously, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party is organizing a nationwide march to demand his release.
