Imran Khan’s Sons Seek Visa to Visit Former PM in Jail
London (Reuters) — February 17, 2026: The sons of former Prime Minister Imran Khan have said they are seeking visas to travel to Pakistan in order to visit their father, expressing concern over his reported health issues during his incarceration.
Key Developments:
- Imran Khan’s sons have applied for visas to visit him in Pakistan, citing concerns about his health.
- A medical board says his eye condition has improved, while his legal team earlier raised concerns about vision loss.
- The Supreme Court has sought details of his medical treatment as political tensions continue.
Speaking to Reuters in London, Kasim Khan and Sulaiman Khan, aged 26 and 29, said they had applied for travel documents last month but have yet to receive approval. The two brothers, who were raised in the United Kingdom following Khan’s divorce from Jemima Goldsmith, said they have not seen their father since late 2022.

Their comments come after Khan’s lawyer informed Pakistan’s Supreme Court that the former premier had experienced significant vision problems in his right eye while in custody. However, a medical board reviewing his condition stated earlier this week that swelling had subsided following treatment and that his eyesight had shown improvement. The Supreme Court has requested further details regarding his medical care.
Khan, 73, has been imprisoned since August 2023 following multiple convictions that he and his party, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), describe as politically motivated. Authorities have rejected allegations of neglect and maintain that medical procedures are being conducted in accordance with regulations.

Since his removal from office through a parliamentary no-confidence vote in 2022, Khan has faced several legal cases, including matters related to state gifts and marriage laws. Some convictions have been suspended or overturned, while appeals in other cases remain pending.

The developments coincide with renewed political activity by PTI supporters, who in recent days have staged protests and road blockades in parts of the country, particularly between Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab, disrupting traffic and supply routes.
