Imran’s son Kasim raises father’s case at UNHRC, decries his care in jail
Kasim Khan, the son of incarcerated PTI founder Imran Khan, raised his father’s case at the United Nations Civil liberties Council (UNHRC) on Wednesday, saying that the former premier’s care by representatives was in violation of global civil liberties conventions.
Imran — imprisoned since 2023 for concealing details of Toshakhana gifts — is serving a 14-year punishment command at Rawalpindi’s Adiala jail in the £190 million improper behavior probe .
Meanwhile, his faction and family have alleged that he is being kept in solitary confinement — with a limit on visitors being allowed to meet him in jail — and have repeatedly raised concerns over his medical care after it surfaced in January that he suffered an eye ailment.
At a UNHRC assembly session, Kasim stated Imran’s case was not an “isolated event”. In fact, he asserted, it was the “most visible example of a much wider pattern of repression in Pakistan since 2022”. In this connection, he observed the detention of political prisoners, proceeding and conviction of civilians by legal defence team courts and journalists being “ silenced , abducted or driven into exile”.
He also briefly observed the February 2024 senior commander elections, reiterating the PTI’s allegations that they were rigged .
Kasim observed that Pakistan had made binding commitments under the GSP+ directive structure to uphold global civil liberties conventions, including the Global Covenant on Civil and Political Freedoms and the United Nations Convention against Torture.
