KARACHI: Incar­cerated PTI founder Imran Khan’s son Kasim Khan has highlighted that his father was jailed in “really poor conditions” that were “getting worse by the moment”, Dawn.com reported.

Imran’s sons — Sulaiman Khan, 28, and Kasim, 26 — called attention to their father’s incarceration for the first time publicly in May.

Earlier this month, Imran’s sister Aleema Khan said Sulaiman and Kasim will go to the United States before coming to Pakistan as part of a movement calling for the ex-premier’s release.

The siblings visited the US and engaged US lawmakers on the issue of their father’s incarceration.

In an interview on US media outlet Real Amer­ica’s Voice, published on Wednesday, Kasim said, “Right now he’s in really, really poor cond­itions and it looks like they’re getting worse and worse by the moment. So we’re looking for any way out possible.”

“The state of the cell he’s in is awful, quite frankly. He’s showering in muddy water. I don’t mean unfiltered water. It’s muddy, dirty water,” he said.
