The United Nations has called on Pakistan to ensure the full protection of Imran Khan’s legal and human rights as concerns continue to mount over the welfare of the jailed former Prime Minister.

The UN spokesperson emphasized the importance of respecting Khan’s rights, urging Pakistani authorities to provide him with proper medical care and allow access to his family and legal representatives. The appeal comes amid reports of Khan’s solitary confinement and incommunicado detention, with international observers warning of deteriorating health and potential human rights violations.

The international community is closely watching the situation, with many advocating for Khan’s humane treatment and the upholding of democratic principles. Pakistan has yet to respond to these calls, as the political crisis surrounding Khan’s detention intensifies.
