Is Imran Khan alive? Ex-Pakistan PM’s son Kasim claims ‘no proof of life’

Amid buzz around former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan’s death, his son Kasim Khan reacted over the inability to contact father. Asserting that the nation’s popular leader is being given inhumane treatment by the authorities, he sought help from international agencies and democratic nations.

‘Confinement in a death cell with zero transparency’

Criticising the Pakistani government and condemning the oppressive rule, Kasim Khan in a post on X stated, “My father has been under arrest for 845 days. For the past six weeks, he has been kept in solitary confinement in a death cell with zero transparency.”

‘This absolute blackout is not a security protocol,’ says Kasim Khan

Expressing concern over his 73-year-old father’s solitary confinement, “This absolute blackout is not a security protocol. It is a deliberate attempt to hide his condition and prevent our family from knowing whether he is safe.”

This statement comes at a time one of the sisters of Imran Khan, Noreen Niazi, opened up about the oppressive rule under Shehbaz Sharif-led government. She contrasted the situation in Pakistan with that of Hitler’s Nazi Germany as she elaborated on the extent of media censorship in her country.

She alleged that England and the USA are supporting the Pakistan government. Emphasising that she has no expectations from international community, she said that her only hope was that the people of Pakistan would stand up to the government to fight for their rights.

Dismissing rumours around PTI leader’s death, advising the prime minister on political affairs, Rana Sanaullah, in an interview with ARY News said that Imran Khan remained in Adiala jail and was well. He said that the ex-PM was under the supervision of a medical team responsible for his “medicine, diet, facilities [and] exercises.”
