Imran Khan’s Sons Break Silence, Urge Global Help for Jailed Father

After months of staying out of the spotlight, Imran Khan’s sons have publicly appealed for international support to secure their father’s release from prison, marking a dramatic shift in their long-held silence. Suleman Khan and Qasim Khan, aged 28 and 26 respectively, shared their concerns in a candid interview, highlighting the dire conditions the former Pakistani prime minister faces while imprisoned in Adiala Jail.

Speaking to online host Mario Nawfal, Imran Khan’s sons expressed that legal and diplomatic avenues had been exhausted with little effect. “We’ve reached the point where the only option left is to speak out,” said Qasim. “He’s being denied basic human rights. The silence is deafening, not just in Pakistan, but globally.”

This is the first time the siblings have spoken publicly about their father’s incarceration, signaling the emotional toll the situation has taken on them. They claim they’ve had only sporadic and limited contact with Imran since his arrest in August 2023 over the £190 million corruption case, as well as pending terrorism-related charges.

Silence Broken, But at a Cost, Imran Khan’s Sons Ask Donald Trump to Intervene

Despite a court order allowing weekly phone calls, the brothers say calls are infrequent and poorly facilitated, sometimes separated by months. They also revealed that the decision to go public was not taken lightly and only came after receiving their father’s blessing.

Imran Khan’s sons insisted they have no political ambitions, reinforcing what their mother, Jemima Goldsmith, has long asserted: her sons are private individuals uninvolved in Pakistani politics.

In 2022, anti-PTI demonstrators targeted their UK home, prompting Jemima to publicly defend her sons. A year later, she criticized Elon Musk for removing verification badges, which led to impersonation attempts targeting her children.

Still, Suleman and Qasim are now urging influential leaders, including Donald Trump to advocate for Imran’s release. “We need voices that can bring real pressure,” said Qasim. “Who better than Trump, someone who understands political persecution and the importance of free speech?”
