Sulaiman and Kasim Khan interviews
Sulaiman and Kasim Khan first spoke about their father’s imprisonment in 2025. They claim that their father’s human rights have been violated since Imran Khan’s imprisonment in 2023.
In one key interview from last year, they campaigned for their father to be released from Adiala Jail, saying that Khan had no contact with other prisoners, and they were allowed 20-minute calls with their father that would get cut off
In a 17 December 2025, interview with Sky News reporter Yalda Hakim, the sons gave their most controversial interview, addressing comments made by the Defence Minister and the Army regarding their father being labelled as a “national security threat.”
Sulaiman Khan, alongside his brother Kasim Khan, addressed the Pakistani Government’s failure in the Supreme Court’s decision to move him to Shifa Hospital in a Sky Sports interview on 27 August 2027. The interview primarily focused on the former Prime Minister’s deteriorating health, with Sulaiman Khan explicitly stating how “the stress of isolation and solitary confinement” has caused Imran Khan to have blood pressure issues.
Fact or Fiction?
A reverse-image search of this frame did not lead to any news coverage of Imran Khan’s son wearing such a shirt.
Soch Fact Check observed visual discrepancies, pointed out in the image below, which suggested that the video is AI-generated. For example, at 0:04 – 0:05 the fingers appear to slide through the glass.

Soch Fact Check ran the video through the Global Online Deepfake Detection System (GODDS), a tool developed by Northwestern University’s Security & AI Lab (NSAIL) that uses a combination of various models along with human analysis to provide a holistic summary of the results.
GODDS also used 22 deepfake detection algorithms, to analyse the visual content, and other 70 algorithms for the audio component.The decision threshold is 0.5, so any result above this number can be in the realm of being fake, manipulated or ai-generated.
”The following results were generated:
- The video is likely to be fake with a probability above 0.5, according to 14 out of 22 predictive models.
- The audio is likely to be fake with a probability above 0.5, according to 50 out of 70 predictive models.
Based on our independent visual analysis of the video, and results from GODDS, Soch Fact Check concludes this clip is AI-generated..
