Imran Khan: Imprisonment

Contribution

My Lords, while Pakistan’s judicial processes are, of course, a matter for Pakistan, we are clear that the Pakistani authorities need to respect fundamental freedoms, including the rights to a fair trial, due process, humane detention and access to appropriate medical treatment. This applies to Imran Khan as it does to all Pakistan citizens. Ministers and officials have regularly raised with Pakistani counterparts the need to uphold Pakistan’s constitution and international human rights obligations, including with respect to Imran Khan.
