Kasim Khan, son of former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, addressed the United Nations Human Rights Council and raised concerns about his father’s imprisonment. He said Imran Khan has been held in a “solitary confinement cell” meant for death row inmates. He added, “We ask this council… to end this persecution immediately.” Kasim also spoke about “rising intolerance” and a “systematic campaign” against dissent in Pakistan. Imran Khan has been in jail since 2023 on charges he denies. His case has drawn global attention, with concerns over his health and prison conditions continuing to grow.
