Imran Khan’s Sons Appeal to Trump for Help

Imran Khan, former Pakistani prime minister, has been imprisoned since August 2023 on a three-year corruption sentence and faces more than 150 charges, which his family and party allege are politically motivated. His sons, Suleman and Qasim Khan, have publicly appealed for international help, specifically reaching out to former US President Donald Trump, to advocate for their father's release. They describe Khan's detention as marked by inhumane conditions, including solitary confinement and restricted access to communication and medical care. The brothers state that all legal options in Pakistan have been exhausted, and only global pressure can restore due process and human rights. While Pakistani authorities deny allegations of mistreatment, the family insists international attention has faded and is urgently needed. The sons have also acknowledged support from US official Richard Grenell and welcome assistance from any pro-democracy leaders.
