Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan has been allowed a phone call with his sons, Kasim Khan and Suleiman Isa Khan.

Earlier, the Supreme Court (SC) ordered that Imran be allowed to speak to his children.

It was ordered that both the eye inspection and the phone calls be conducted before February 16 (Monday).

Imran Khan was diagnosed with a serious eye condition known as Central Retinal Vein Occlusion (CRVO), a disorder that commonly affects older adults and is linked to underlying cardiovascular risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and heart disease.

His son Kasim Khan, in a post on X, termed the development “a direct consequence of solitary confinement, medical neglect.”

“We have been informed that my father, Imran Khan, has lost most of the vision in his right eye, with reports indicating that only 15pc eyesight remains,” Kasim said.

“This is the direct consequence of 922 days of solitary confinement, medical neglect (denied blood tests) and the deliberate denial of proper treatment in jail,” Kasim stressed, maintaining that the “responsibility lies squarely with the regime in power, the army chief and the puppets enabling this cruelty”.

He said that Imran’s “physical deterioration is happening under their orders, their watch and their responsibility”.
