ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan’s imprisoned former Prime Minister Imran Khan is in good health but is largely being kept under solitary conditions, one of his sisters said Tuesday after authorities allowed her the first family visit in weeks.
Uzma Khan’s remarks appeared aimed at reassuring Khan’s millions of supporters in Pakistan and abroad after concerns were raised over his wellbeing — and even whether he was still alive — though authorities had dismissed any rumors about his condition as baseless.
Khan, 73, has been serving multiple prison terms since 2023 on convictions for corruption and other charges that the former cricket star and his supporters have alleged are aimed at blocking his political career.
