Summary
In February, the news broke that the former Pakistan Prime Minister and cricketer, Imran Khan, was going blind in prison. Stuck in solitary confinement, the 73-year-old may or may not be receiving sufficient healthcare, and after three years behind bars, the world is wondering whether the the Pakistani Government will take action to prevent Khan from dying there. Pakistan historian, author and biographer, Victoria Schofield joins us this week, alongside lawyer Shahzad Akbar, to help us determine whether there might be a way out for Khan, or whether history is repeating itself.. In this episode we include an exclusive interview with former Australian test captain Greg Chappell who coordinated the publication in February of an open letter from 14 former Captains from almost the entire spectrum of Test-playing countries, pleading with the Pakistani government to show Imran Khan some fairness and humanity in his treatment. Law and Disorder is a Podot podcast. Hosted by: Charlie Falconer, Helena Kennedy, Nicholas Mostyn. Executive Producer and editor: Nick Hilton. Associate Producer: Lulu Goad Hosted on Acast.
