Imran Khan
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether he plans to hold discussions with the Government of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan on the imprisonment of former Prime Minister Imran Khan.
Answered by Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office
While Pakistan's judicial processes are a domestic matter, we are clear that the Pakistani authorities need to respect fundamental freedoms, including the right 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's citizens. I met Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Dar on 27 August to discuss a range of issues, including matters relating to Imran Khan.
