  • Kasim and Sulaiman Khan, who are based in the UK, revealed they have been denied visas to visit their 73-year-old father and have not spoken to him since March.
  • Authorities allegedly defied a Supreme Court directive to evaluate Khan at a private hospital, briefly examining him at a state-run facility before returning him to Adiala prison.
  • Khan's international legal counsel characterised his detention conditions as slow-motion murder, while his sister stated he reported being tortured in prison.
  • The cricketer-turned-politician has been held mostly in solitary confinement since August 2023, prompting renewed international calls for appropriate medical care and visitation rights.
