IMRAN KHAN’s sons, Suleman Khan and Qasim Khan, have publicly appealed for their father's release from jail in a rare interview, saying they have exhausted all other options.

The sons of the former Pakistan prime minister and cricketer appeared in a live interview on X with citizen journalist Mario Nawfal, calling for international pressure on Pakistan.

“We’ve gone through the legal routes. We’ve gone through every route that we thought would potentially get him out,” said Qasim, 26. “We never thought he would be in there for a fraction of how long he’s been in there. And it’s only getting worse. And so we’ve somewhat run out of those options. And now we’ve decided the only route of taking action is to come and speak publicly.”

Khan, 72, has been detained since August 2023 and was sentenced to 14 years in prison in January in a corruption case. He is facing more than 100 charges, including corruption and selling state secrets, all of which he denies. He is currently in Adiala jail, Rawalpindi, and also facing anti-terrorism charges related to protests on 9 May 2023.

“What we want is international pressure on Pakistan right now, because currently he’s living in inhumane conditions,” said Qasim. “They’re not giving him basic human rights … they’re not really doing anywhere near enough.”

Suleman, 28, said, “We couldn’t stay quiet any longer,” while Qasim added, “We’ve never spoken before, but seeing what he’s going through, we couldn’t stay quiet.”

Khan’s party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, has repeatedly raised concerns about his detention conditions and has filed petitions in the Islamabad high court.

The brothers also appealed to former US president Donald Trump and other “people of influence” to help.

Khan, who was removed from office in 2022, is alleged to have been sidelined by Pakistan’s military.

His party claims the military is working with political opponents to keep him out of politics. Both the military and his rivals deny this.

  • The actors spent eight seasons as siblings Sansa Stark and Jon Snow on Game of Thrones.
  • Turner, who is also a producer on the film, suggested Harington for the role despite their sibling-like bond.
  • The film has yet to receive an official release date but features Turner, Harington, Marcia Gay Harden, and Laurence O’Fuarain.

Sophie Turner has admitted that kissing her Game of Thrones co-star Kit Harington for their new gothic horror film The Dreadful was far from romantic. Speaking during her recent appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, the actress said the scene was so uncomfortable that both she and Harington were “retching.”

Turner, who played Sansa Stark across eight seasons of HBO’s Game of Thrones, explained that while she and Harington have not shared the screen since 2019, their sibling-like relationship remained intact. That history made their romantic scenes in The Dreadful especially challenging.

Ethereum Leads Crypto Market Rally, DL Mining Becomes Preferred Platform for Multi-Currency Holders

In the recent strong performance of the cryptocurrency market, Ethereum (ETH) is undoubtedly the brightest star. Since August 3rd, Ethereum has been in a continuous upward trend, and its current trading price has exceeded \(4,500, which is less than 10% away from its previous all-time high of \)4,878. What's more striking is that Thomas Lee (commonly known as Tom Lee), founder and head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, has set a long-term target of \(16,000 for Ethereum. Market confidence is constantly climbing with the influx of institutional funds - Ethereum ETFs saw a record net inflow of \)1 billion on Monday, far exceeding that of Bitcoin and other altcoins. Driven by Ethereum's strength, cryptocurrencies such as Chainlink (LINK), Polkadot (DOT) and Pump.fun (PUMP) have also ushered in an upward trend. With its flexible and secure structured contract services, DL Mining platform has become the best choice for holders of these cryptocurrencies to seize market opportunities.

Ethereum Leads, Multiple Currencies Witness Linked Gains

Ethereum's current rally is not an isolated event. Behind it is a significant increase in demand from institutional investors and a continuous expansion of capital inflows into investment products such as ETFs. On-chain data shows that "whale" investors, including Arthur Hayes, founder of BitMEX, have repurchased Ethereum at prices above \(4,100 after taking profits. Hayes alone repurchased Ethereum worth \)10.5 million. Large wallet investors continue to increase their ETH positions while making profits, further strengthening the market's bullish expectations for Ethereum.
