WEB DESK: (Anwarzeb Khan) Qasim Khan, son of Former Pakistani Prime Minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan, has alleged that Pakistani authorities are deliberately delaying visa approvals to prevent him and his brother from visiting their jailed father.

In a statement, Qasim Khan said that Imran Khan has been held in solitary confinement for 914 days and expressed serious concerns about his father’s deteriorating health. He claimed that the former premier has been denied access to adequate and independent medical care while in custody.

Qasim said he and his brother intend to travel to Pakistan to meet their father but alleged that the government is intentionally refusing to process their visa applications. He described denying medical treatment to a prisoner as “inhumane” and preventing children from meeting their father as “collective punishment.”

The statement also urged International Human Rights Organizations and Foreign Governments to take notice of the situation before irreversible harm occurs. Pakistani authorities have not yet publicly responded to the allegations.
