Sulaiman Khan and Kasim Khan, sons of imprisoned former Prime Minister Imran Khan, met with U.S. Congressman Brad Sherman in Washington, D.C., launching a global advocacy campaign for their father’s release.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Congressman Sherman expressed deep concern over Imran Khan’s prolonged isolation, stating he has been cut off from his family, legal counsel, and medical professionals. “His sons also shared that his physical health may be deteriorating,” Sherman noted, emphasizing, “The people of Pakistan deserve to have their leaders be treated fairly under the law.”
The meeting is part of a broader effort by the Khan brothers, who are reportedly planning to return to Pakistan to join public demonstrations demanding their father’s freedom. Their media presence has steadily increased in recent weeks, including a podcast appearance where they criticized the “inhumane conditions” under which Imran Khan is allegedly being held.
Imran Khan, jailed since August 2023, is currently serving time in Adiala Jail in connection with the £190 million corruption case. He also faces multiple pending cases, including terrorism charges stemming from the May 9, 2023 protests.
Earlier, the brothers also met with former U.S. Special Presidential Envoy Richard Grenell in California. A photo posted on X showed Grenell alongside the Khans and Dr. Asif Mahmood, Vice Chairman of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom. Grenell voiced solidarity, stating, “Stay strong… millions around the world are sick of political prosecutions. You are not alone.”
The Khans’ international push marks a new chapter in the political and legal battle for Imran Khan, signaling growing efforts to pressure foreign governments and human rights organizations into action.
