Jemima Khan has raised serious concerns over delays in visa approvals for her sons, alleging that the move may be a tactic to expose them to potential arrest upon arrival in Pakistan.
In a strongly worded statement, Jemima claimed that authorities are refusing visas and instead suggesting her sons travel on NICOP cards, a move she says would leave them without British consular protection.
“We all know that the reason you are refusing their visas and recommending they travel on NICOP cards is because that way they will have no British protection if you choose to arrest them on arrival,” she said.
Her remarks come amid ongoing tensions surrounding the imprisonment of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, who remains in solitary confinement while concerns over his health and access to family persist.
The issue of visas for Khan’s sons, Sulaiman Khan and Kasim Khan, has drawn increasing attention, with unnecessary delays despite standard processing times being significantly shorter.
Calls are growing for transparency and assurances regarding the safety and rights of Imran Khan’s children if they travel to Pakistan, amid concerns over legal processes, human rights, and the treatment of Khan and his family.
