Imran Khan’s Sons Accuse Army Chief Asim Munir of Vendetta, Warn Father Is Being 'Slowly Killed' in Prison

Kasim and Sulaiman Khan, sons of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, have publicly accused Army Chief General Asim Munir of orchestrating a personal vendetta against their imprisoned father, alleging systemic mistreatment that is endangering his life. Speaking to The Guardian, the brothers expressed deep concern over Imran Khan’s deteriorating health while serving a 14-year sentence at Adiala prison in Rawalpindi since his arrest in 2023. They claim harsh conditions—including restricted medical access and isolation—are part of a calculated effort to undermine him, with General Munir reportedly holding longstanding grievances tied to Khan’s political rise and fall. The allegations come amid growing international scrutiny, as human rights groups and foreign diplomats question the fairness of the legal proceedings and prison conditions. With Imran Khan’s case symbolizing broader tensions between Pakistan’s civilian leadership and military establishment, the sons’ testimony adds emotional weight to ongoing calls for transparency. The situation underscores how deeply intertwined politics and power remain in Pakistan, where the army’s influence continues to shape national governance. As global attention intensifies, the fate of Imran Khan—and the credibility of Pakistan’s justice system—hangs in the balance.
