Former Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan’s sons, Qasim and Suleman, intend to travel to Pakistan after a stop in the United States to help lead a new protest movement organised by their father’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party, according to Khan’s sister, Aleema Khan. She said the brothers will lobby US lawmakers on Pakistan’s human-rights record before joining street demonstrations at home. PTI plans to launch nationwide rallies now that the Islamic month of Muharram has ended, with the campaign slated to reach its peak on 5 August, the day Khan completes two years in detention. Aleema Khan said the family will participate alongside party leaders to press for the former premier’s release and the restoration of what they describe as democratic rights. Government representatives have cautioned that the brothers’ involvement could create “problems,” and commentators have questioned whether the UK-raised siblings may face legal hurdles over citizenship status. Constitutional lawyer Salman Akram Raja countered that the pair are entitled to enter the country and take part in peaceful protest. Khan, 72, has been held at Adiala Jail outside Islamabad since August 2023 on a series of graft and national-security charges he says are politically motivated. His sons have largely remained outside the political spotlight until now, and their planned arrival is expected to galvanise PTI supporters and potentially intensify the standoff between the party and the military-backed government of Gen. Asim Munir.
