In a recent news, Jemima Goldsmith, the ex-wife of Imran Khan, has spoken out on the illegal detention of Imran Khan at Adiala Jail. She stated in a post on X, that her son’s father, Imran Khan, has now been completely isolated from the outside world as his jail cook has also been sent on leave. She stated that both her sons, Qasim Khan and Suleiman Khan, have not been able to establish contact with their father since September 10th due to court orders.
In the last few weeks there have been serious and concerning developments regarding my sons’ father, Imran Khan’s treatment in prison. The Pakistan authorities have stopped all visits to him by his family and his lawyers. They have also postponed all court hearings. In addition…

Furthermore, she stated that his lawyers are also concerned about Khan’s health as he is completely isolated. As per reports, the authorities have also turned off all lights and electricity in his prison cell and he is now being kept in complete isolation.
She also stated that Imran Khan’s nephew, Hassan Niazi, has also been kept in military custody since August 2023 though he is a civilian. Moreover, both his sisters, Aleema Khan and Uzma Khan, have also been arrested from D-Chowk recently and are being sent on a physical remand.
Thus, Jemima Goldsmith is equally worried for the illegal detention and isolation of her son’s father, Imran Khan, and has called for the release of Imran Khan and his family on urgent basis.
Jemima Goldsmith has also raised concerns about human rights in Pakistan. She stated that she has been harassed and bullied by PML-N “goons” and stated that she is concerned about his children. She further said that what is happening with her son’s father is a pure violation of human rights in Pakistan.
I usually don’t comment on Pakistani politics. I disagree with IK on many political issues. But this is not about politics- it’s about my children’s father, his human rights & international law. For the past few years, I’ve been bullied & harassed into silence by PML-N goons,…

On the other hand, Daniel Hannan, via X post, stated that Pakistan military leaders have completely isolated Imran Khan in Adiala Jail, denying any of his visits. He further stated that an applicant for the Chancellor of Oxford University has been illegally kept in prison for 14 months which is a direct violation of human rights and international law.
Very alarming news. Pakistan’s military leaders have now denied Imran Khan visits and phone calls, and have cut electricity to his cell. He has been in solitary confinement for 14 months - a detention declared illegal by the United Nations.

Moreover, Adrian Hilton, has also pledged international human rights associations to call for the immediate release of Imran Khan.
Pakistan is a member of the Commonwealth, pledged “to promote, protect and respect internationally recognised human rights”. Their treatment of Imran Khan betrays these principles. As a possible candidate for Chancellor of @UniofOxford, he needs to be released and restored. https://t.co/njg4vw7sOb
