Imran Khan’s Sons Say Pakistan Is Blocking Their Visas to Visit Jailed Father

Officials describe a blanket meetings ban alongside assurances of prescribed prison privileges.

Overview

  • Kasim Khan said on X that authorities are deliberately refusing to process visas for him and his brother, preventing a visit to their father at Adiala Jail.
  • He alleged prolonged solitary confinement, deteriorating health and denial of independent medical care, following an eye procedure at PIMS that officials said addressed vision issues.
  • PTI, citing an unnamed Interior Ministry source, claimed the government has decided to withhold approvals and could deny visas on technical grounds such as undisclosed UAE travel.
  • Government figures say a meetings ban has been in effect since December 2025, and the Adiala jail administration states Khan receives B‑Class facilities including healthcare, reading materials, exercise and walks.
  • Imran Khan has been imprisoned since August 2023 on multiple convictions and faces additional cases, and a senior prime ministerial adviser warned his sons would be arrested if they joined protests.
