Brian Lara Joins Calls for Proper Medical Care for Imran Khan in PrisonPreviousNext

Former West Indies cricket captain Brian Lara has joined other international cricket legends in urging proper medical care and humane treatment for former Pakistan captain and Prime Minister Imran Khan, who has been imprisoned since 2023. Lara expressed respect for Khan despite limited interactions and emphasized that his appeal is based on basic humanity rather than politics. The call follows concerns over Khan's health and access to medical treatment amid multiple legal convictions, with several former captains requesting independent medical care and dignified treatment.
