Yes. As of October 19, 2026, Imran Khan is still in jail. He has been held since his arrest on 5 August 2023 and is kept at Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi. He has not been released, and no release has been ordered by any court.

Imran Khan faces a very large number of cases, reported at more than 180 across Pakistan. They include corruption references, cases linked to the 9 May 2023 unrest, and protest-related cases. Most have not reached a verdict.

There is no confirmed release date. His release depends mainly on the outcome of his appeals against the Al-Qadir Trust and Toshakhana-II convictions, and on any bail or relief granted by the courts. Be careful with videos or posts that claim a fixed release date; check reliable news sources.

His health has been a major concern in 2026. In early 2026 his lawyers reported a serious eye condition (central retinal vein occlusion) affecting his right eye, and he was treated for it. Doctors from PIMS and Shifa International Hospital examined him at Adiala Jail in August and September 2026. Officials say he is in good health, while his family and party have asked for him to be moved to a hospital.

As of October 19, 2026: PTI supporters began a march towards Islamabad on 4 October 2026 to demand his release after talks with the government failed. On 11 October 2026 the federal government imposed an emergency and governor's rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the province PTI governed, and Parliament later approved it. His sisters were detained in September 2026 under a preventive detention law.

Imran Khan has two sons with Jemima Goldsmith: Sulaiman Isa Khan (born 1996) and Kasim (Qasim) Khan (born 1999). They grew up in London.

Imran Khan has four sisters: Rubina Khanum, Aleema Khan, Uzma Khanum and Noreen Niazi. He is the only son of Ikramullah Khan Niazi and Shaukat Khanum.

Imran Khan captained Pakistan to the 1992 Cricket World Cup title. Pakistan beat England in the final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on 25 March 1992, and he was the top scorer in the final with 72 runs.

He served as Prime Minister of Pakistan from 18 August 2018 to 10 April 2022. His government ended when he lost a no-confidence vote in the National Assembly, making him the first Pakistani prime minister removed that way.

He founded Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on 25 April 1996 in Lahore. The party won the most seats in the 2018 general election, which made him Prime Minister.

He studied at Aitchison College in Lahore and the Royal Grammar School Worcester in England. He then went to Keble College, Oxford, where he earned a degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) in 1975.

Imran Khan founded Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital in Lahore in 1994, named after his mother, who died of cancer. It was Pakistan's first dedicated cancer hospital. He also founded Namal in Mianwali, which opened as a college in 2008 and is now Namal University.
