Qasim Khan calls father Imran Khan's solitary confinement ‘an attempt to break a man who stood for Pakistan’

Former prime minister Imran Khan’s son, Qasim Khan expressed concern about his father’s continued imprisonment, alleging that he has been placed in solitary confinement as part of a deliberate effort by political opponents to "break" him.

Taking to X, Qasim highlighted that Imran Khan has now spent 702 days in Adiala Jail, facing multiple charges, including corruption.

Reiterating claims previously made by Imran Khan’s sisters, Qasim said the PTI founder has been repeatedly denied access to his legal team and has been barred from speaking with his family, including his sons.

He also claimed that authorities are not allowing Imran Khan to see his personal doctor, raising concerns over the former premier’s deteriorating health.

“This is not justice. It is a deliberate attempt to isolate and break a man who stood for rule of law, democracy, and Pakistan,” Qasim wrote in his post.

Qasim was asked about the conditions of the prison cell where their father has been kept for nearly two years. He shared that Imran Khan has no access to the outside world or even medical care, and is subjected to prolonged solitary confinement.

Qasim revealed that despite court orders allowing them to speak with their father once a week, he and his brother are only able to talk to him once every two or three months.

“He is occasionally in the pitch black for prolonged periods,” he said, adding that his father was kept in complete darkness for 10 days.

When asked how Imran Khan coped with the situation, Qasim said, “The first two days were beyond difficult, but he was able to get into a zen-like mentality.” He further described the prison conditions as "bleak."
