Former Pakistan PM Imran Khan Allegedly Subjected to “Mental Torture” in Prison

Lahore – December 2, 2025 – Concerns are mounting over the well-being of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, currently incarcerated in Adiala Jail since August 2023. Following a rare visit today, Khan’s sister, Dr. Uzma Khan, reported that he is alive but being subjected to “mental torture” in solitary confinement.

“He is being kept in complete isolation,” Dr. Khan stated, according to a statement released by Khan’s party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). “This is a form of mental torture.”

The visit comes after a month-long, unannounced ban on family access to the former Prime Minister, fueling rumors on social media regarding his health and even his death. Khan’s son, Kasim Khan, publicly demanded the government provide proof that his father is still alive.

The Pakistani government has responded to potential unrest by deploying significant police forces in Rawalpindi and Islamabad, enforcing Section 144 which prohibits public gatherings. An eight-kilometer stretch around Adiala Jail has been sealed off, and schools and colleges have been closed.

Minister of State for Interior Talal Chaudhry has vowed strict enforcement of Section 144, stating, “Whether they come to the Islamabad High Court (IHC) or the Adiala jail, action under Section 144 would be carried out without any discrimination.”

The PTI has warned of nationwide protests if family access to Khan is not restored, with his sisters further threatening consequences for those responsible for any harm that befalls him. The situation remains tense, with both supporters and critics of Khan closely monitoring developments.
