The brothers' campaign to spotlight Imran Khan's prison health

The brothers' campaign to spotlight Imran Khan's prison health

The brothers' campaign to spotlight Imran Khan's prison health
The brothers are now spearheading a coordinated effort to improve the living conditions of their father, the legendary cricketer and former prime minister Imran Khan, who has been confined in Rawalpindi’s Adiala prison for more than three years.
According to an aunt who briefly saw him in a military hospital, Imran Khan’s health is deteriorating, with reports of high blood pressure, heart palpitations and persistent anxiety, prompting the brothers to stay alert for any call from the prison.
Human‑rights bodies have echoed the brothers’ concerns: a United Nations working group and Amnesty International have both criticised the prison conditions, and the Supreme Court of Pakistan ordered that Khan receive independent medical treatment in a private hospital—a directive the family says has been ignored.
The campaign has attracted the backing of prominent cricket figures; former Australian captain Greg Chappell, former England captain Michael Atherton and current Australian skipper Pat Cummins have publicly supported Khan’s cause, urging authorities to honour the court‑ordered medical assessment and to allow regular family visits.
Sulaiman says the international attention generated by these cricket icons has amplified their message, turning a private family worry into a matter of public and diplomatic scrutiny.
