  "account": "Former Prime Minister Imran Khan's sons have alleged that the Pakistani Army Chief, Asim Munir, is behind a \"personal vendetta\" against their father, causing him \"slow, painful death\" in jail. Kasim Khan (27) and Sulaiman Khan (29) expressed deep concern over their father's health, stating that the prison conditions in which Imran has been kept are a form of mental and physical torture. Imran, who is serving a 14-year sentence on corruption charges, is reportedly kept in a 6x8ft cell with no human contact, no new books, and no access to a neutral doctor. Sulaiman claimed that the treatment against Imran is driven by a \"personal grudge\" by Army Chief Asim Munir.",
