In a significant development, Congressman Suhas Subramanyam has publicly raised concerns about the health and detention conditions of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan. He confirmed reports that Khan has been in solitary confinement for several weeks with no communication from his family, despite assertions that his health remains “stable.”
Congressman Subramanyam’s statement underscores concerns that have been voiced by Pakistanis for months: that Imran Khan’s life and fundamental rights are under serious threat.
In his statement, Congressman Subramanyam said:
“I am concerned by reports that members of former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s family have gone weeks without establishing direct contact with him, raising fears that he may have suffered irreversible harm. While it was later reported that Mr. Khan is in stable physical condition, he largely remains in solitary confinement with limited communication to others.
I will continue to monitor these developments and reaffirm my commitment to justice, human rights, and democracy around the world.”
The statement has sparked international attention, raising urgent questions about Khan’s well-being and the treatment of political prisoners in Pakistan.
