Imran Khan's Sons Say Pakistani Authorities Cracking Down Ahead of PTI Protests
The sons of jailed former Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan say his health is deteriorating while he is kept isolated from family and doctors, as authorities move against opposition figures ahead of planned protests.
The sons of Pakistan's jailed former prime minister Imran Khan have told Deutsche Welle that their father is in poor health and has been kept isolated from family members and doctors, as authorities intensify a crackdown ahead of planned protests by his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party.
According to the report, Khan's sons said other family members have also been detained as the planned opposition demonstration approaches.
Ongoing Detention
Imran Khan, who served as Pakistan's prime minister before his removal from office, has remained in custody, with his family raising concerns about the conditions of his detention and limited access to medical care.
The report does not specify additional details about the charges underlying Khan's continued detention or provide independent confirmation of his current health status beyond the family's account.
PTI has planned a new round of protests, and the report indicates Pakistani authorities have stepped up measures against opposition figures and Khan family members in the period leading up to the demonstrations.
