Imran Khan’s sons seek jail visit as concerns grow over the former prime minister’s health in custody.
In an interview with Reuters, Kasim and Sulaiman Khan have urged Pakistani authorities to grant them permission to visit their father after more than two years apart. In an interview with Reuters, the brothers expressed fear about their deteriorating health and uncertainty over recent medical reports.
Last week, Khan’s lawyer informed the Supreme Court that the former cricketer had lost significant vision in his right eye while in jail. However, a medical board stated on Monday that swelling had reduced after treatment and that his eyesight had improved.
The brothers said they were unsure how to interpret the official findings. They spoke to their father on Thursday for the first time since September. According to them, he rarely discusses his health, but during the call, he voiced frustration, claiming he had been denied treatment for his eye for several months.
“It’s hard not to feel low at times because we’ve been away from him so long,” Kasim said, referring to his father as “Abba.” He added that Khan should be moved to a proper medical facility and allowed access to his private doctors.
Imran Khan’s Sons Seek Jail Visit Over Health Concerns
The request for access comes amid ongoing legal proceedings and public debate over Khan’s treatment in custody.
A medical board recently evaluated his condition and reported reduced swelling in the affected eye, describing it as a sign of improvement. Despite this, his sons remain cautious and say they need direct reassurance about his well-being.

The issue has also been raised before the Supreme Court, where Khan’s legal team highlighted concerns about his medical care. The family maintains that regular access to appropriate healthcare facilities and trusted physicians is essential.
For now, it remains unclear whether authorities will grant the brothers permission to visit. The case continues to draw national attention as questions persist about his health and conditions in jail.
