Imran Khan will not accept any ‘deal’ for release, sister says amid renewed speculation

ISLAMABAD: Jailed former Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan will not accept any negotiated arrangement with authorities to secure his release, his sister Aleema Khanum said this week, rejecting renewed speculation of a possible political “deal” as tensions escalate between his party and the government over his health and imprisonment. The question of a negotiated exit has resurfaced in Pakistan’s political debate in recent weeks following reports about Khan’s medical condition, protests by supporters and comments by government officials referring to past efforts to explore a settlement.
