Boris Johnson Urges UK to Advocate for Imran Khan's Release Amid Health Concerns
Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has called for the release of jailed ex-Pakistan PM Imran Khan, citing concerns over his health and prison conditions. Johnson accused Pakistan's military establishment of detaining Khan to prevent his political comeback and urged the British government to intervene. Khan, imprisoned since August 2023 on corruption charges he contests, reportedly faces prolonged isolation and inadequate medical care. Johnson emphasized the need for a fair and speedy appeal process and criticized the treatment as politically motivated.
