The former cricketer-turned-politician was arrested at his Lahore residence in August 2023 when an Islamabad court handed him a three-year jail sentence following his conviction in a corruption case.

On rumours of Pakistan former PM Imran Khan's health, Sajjad Burki, Secretary PTI OIC(Organization of International Chapters), said, "Restore access to Imran Khan before the situation gets out of hand. Total military control and fascism rule the country at the moment. Overseas Pakistanis must gather at their embassies and consulates across the world to demand the release of Imran Khan."

The chief minister of Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province on Friday ended a 16-hour long sit-in near Rawalpindi's Adiala Jail, protesting against authorities for stopping him from meeting former PM Imran Khan.

On Thursday, when Sohail Afridi came to meet Khan, he was stopped near the prison on the Adiala Road where he gave a 'dharna' with dozens of PTI party followers and his protest continued for about 16 hours.

As he wrapped up the protest in the early morning, Afridi told journalists that he along with party workers spent the entire night at the protest site but no information had been given about Khan "We spent the night here with the workers - this was only one night," he said, adding, "If we have to spend our whole lives here for the PTI founder, we will do so. We have not yet been told anything about the condition of the PTI founder."

In a May 2, 2024, op-ed for the British newspaper The Telegraph, Khan accused Pakistan's military establishment under its army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, of trying every tactic to decimate his party's presence from Pakistan's political environment. He then went on to write that Munir would be responsible if anything happened to him and also said he would "prefer death over slavery".

Pakistan's former PM Imran Khan's son Kasim Khan has now demanded proof of life and his father's release.

In a post on X, Kasim Khan said that it has been 845 days since his father was jailed. And, for the past one and a half months, he has been kept in a death cell without any contact with his family.

میرے والد کو گرفتار ہوئے 845 دن ہو چکے ہیں۔ پچھلے چھ ہفتوں سے انہیں مکمل بے خبری کے ماحول میں ڈیتھ سیل میں تنہا رکھا گیا ہے۔ ان کی بہنوں کو ہر ملاقات سے روک دیا گیا ہے حالانکہ عدالت کے واضح احکامات موجود ہیں۔ کوئی فون کال نہیں، کوئی ملاقات نہیں اور زندگی کی کوئی خبر نہیں۔ میں اور… pic.twitter.com/c0dhujWiSO
