Sulaiman Khan (28) and Kasim Khan (26), sons of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan, have launched a high-profile campaign in the United States to rally support for their father’s release. On July 24, 2025, they met with Congressman Brad Sherman in Washington, D.C., drawing attention to concerns that Imran—detained since August 2023 on corruption and terrorism-related charges—is being held in isolation, with limited access to family, legal counsel, or medical care. The congressman expressed “concern” about Imran’s deteriorating health, citing his detention conditions.
The brothers also met prominent US figures, including former Trump advisor Richard Grenell and Representatives Joe Wilson, Andy Harris, Ted Lieu, and Bill Huizenga, aiming to build bipartisan pressure for their father’s humane treatment. They intend to return to Pakistan to participate in public rallies demanding Imran’s release.
This lobbying effort coincides with rising scrutiny in Congress regarding Pakistan’s human rights record and the fairness of political trials. By amplifying international solidarity, the Khans are spotlighting concerns over politicized prosecutions and seeking global accountability.
