Imran Khan: Imprisonment

Contribution

We want those imprisoned, particularly when they are undergoing such intensive medical treatment, as I believe has happened—I think a successful operation took place in January, and there has been further treatment since—to have access to family members, whether through visits or other means. That is important at times like these. This is slightly complicated by the fact that, as the noble Lord will appreciate, decisions about the Pakistan immigration system are controlled by the Pakistani Government, but we make the general case that we would want to see access to family for anyone held in such circumstances.
