[Kasim Khan @Kasim_Khan_1999]

There is little choice left for the people of Pakistan.

Either remain silent while their chosen leader is imprisoned. Whilst his family is detained, his party is suppressed and justice is denied - or come out peacefully and exercise their fundamental right to protest.

You can arrest families and threaten people with violence. But you cannot imprison 250 million Pakistanis or crush the will of a generation.

No regime is more powerful than its people. The world must watch as the people of Pakistan come together to demonstrate their plea for justice, even in the face of threats of violence.

Inshallah, Pakistan’s future will be decided by its people, not by criminals who rule through fear.

Cricket legend Imran Khan is rotting to death in a tiny jail cell in Pakistan. It's time Britain used its influence to help free him

The Defence Minister is right. It’s why I have never been considered Jewish by the Jewish community. My mother was a Church of England Protestant. And by this logic, my father was not Jewish either. His mother was a French Catholic. As ever, in attempting to undermine my sons, Pakistan’s Defence Minister has scored an embarrassing own goal.

Oh captain, my captain

[Pat Cummins @patcummins30]

Adding my support here to GC and the other former international captains. I hope the court ordered medical assessment be allowed to run its course, and that family visits continue. I hope Imran Khan is treated with the dignity anyone deserves

Prime Minister @andyburnham and Foreign Secretary @Ed_Miliband : how much longer will Britain remain silent?

For three years the father of my two sons, and Pakistan’s former Prime Minister, Imran Khan, has been brutally penalised by his political opponents, in a personal vendetta by Army Chief, Asim Munir,  which according to the UN,  amounts to torture and which  is now taking a potentially fatal toll on his physical and mental health. 

He has endured 3 years of solitary confinement. For nearly ten months now his family has been denied contact with him. He has been deprived of the most basic human contact, denied access to books, lawyers and doctors.

The international human-rights standards are unequivocal. Under the UN’s Nelson Mandela Rules, solitary confinement lasting more than 15 consecutive days is prohibited and amounts to torture.

He has endured this treatment not for 15 days, but for three years.

Pakistan’s own Supreme Court has now intervened: ordering comprehensive  medical treatment, access to his personal doctor, regular family visits and twice-weekly calls with his sons.

Yet those orders are being defied.

This is no longer simply a Pakistani political matter. It is a human-rights emergency.

He has deep and lifelong ties to Britain. He studied at Oxford University, captained Oxford University cricket and spent years playing county cricket in England. His relationship with this country stretches back more than half a century. His charitable activities were internationally recognised, and  include building the only free cancer hospital in Pakistan as well as a university.

His sons, my two boys, Sulaiman and Kasim, are British citizens. They have been forced to watch their father’s health decline from thousands of miles away, prevented from visiting him, denied visas, publicly threatened by government officials with arrest themselves, and even denied court-mandated regular phone calls. 

I have repeatedly appealed to the UK government to intervene. Purported attempts at back channelling have evidently failed. The previous Foreign Secretary @DavidLammy informed me in writing that Britain would not  intervene if my sons, British citizens, are arrested when they travel to Pakistan to visit their father. 

@FCDOGovUK: Britain must now speak out publicly and unequivocally. Demand that Pakistan comply with its own Supreme Court;  restore Imran Khan’s medical access, his right to see his family, end his prolonged isolation and uphold his fundamental human rights.

Pakistan is a Commonwealth country. Britain has a long and proud tradition of standing against arbitrary detention, inhumane treatment and the denial of fundamental rights. Those principles mean very little if we invoke them only selectively and neglect them when inconvenient.
This an appeal to the new Burnham government  to please now do the right thing.

[Faizan @faizannriaz]

Three years in prison.

Name banned. Image banned. Election symbol taken.

Party dismantled. Workers arrested, raided, beaten and jailed.

And still, Imran Khan is Pakistan’s biggest political story.

You can ban the name. You can jail the man. You cannot erase him.

[Dr. Arif Alvi @ArifAlvi]

الحمدللہ
Time to rejoice.

For three years we have watched him endure isolation that would break most men. Cut off from newspapers, from books, from his family, from the country to which he gave everything. Tonight, finally, a door has opened. Prayers. Endless prayers. For his health, for his strength, for his full and complete recovery.

Those who know him, as I have for over 35 years, also know this about him: he is not vindictive. He does not carry hatred in his heart, even toward those who have wronged him. That has always been his strength, and it will be Pakistan's strength too, if we let it. This country does not need more anger. It needs peace. It needs healing. And I believe, I have to believe, that this is the first drop of that rain, of Allah's mercy.

What courage this man has shown. Three years. Isolation, illness, uncertainty, grief for his people and still, he did not bend. Emulating Tariq bin Ziyad and Salahuddin Ayubi, he did not trade his principles for comfort, persevered and endured. He did not succumb. History will remember this unique chapter, and it will remember it as a testament to what one man's conviction can withstand.
یقیں محکم، عمل پیہم، محبت فاتح عالم
I am overwhelmed tonight. Genuinely. Words feel small next to what this moment means, to his family, to his workers, to the tens of millions who have carried him in their prayers every single day of these three years.

Get well, Imran Khan. Pakistan needs you healthy to lead us as a Captain in the field of turbulent seas of confusion and chaos.

May Allah grant you a full recovery, and may this be the beginning of justice, of real justice — finally taking its course.
انشاللہ

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Today marks 3 years since Imran Khan was unjustly incarcerated.

He is still being denied basic human rights and remains in solitary confinement.

His abominable treatment is an affront to democracy. I will continue to demand the release of all political prisoners, everywhere.

[Kasim Khan @Kasim_Khan_1999]

It has now been around 1,100 days since my father, Imran Khan, was imprisoned, and my brother and I haven’t heard his voice since March. For months, we’ve been denied contact with him. We remain in the dark about his access to healthcare as his eyesight continues to deteriorate. He urgently needs medical attention, and with no family or legal access, we don’t even get any second hand information or reassurance.

I’ve found myself especially missing him recently. I want to speak to him about mundane things like my cricket, books I’ve been reading and what new movies are good. I understand the people of Pakistan want their chosen leader free, but I miss my father more than ever.

But this is not just about a father. It is about Pakistan, and its future. A rigged, authoritarian regime continues to crush political opposition, undermine democratic institutions, and deny millions of Pakistanis their right to freely choose their leaders, whilst terrorising those who speak their beliefs.

I once again plea to the international community to not look away. Silence in the face of injustice only enables it.

Getting a player’s name on the back of a kit is always risky.

Some leave on bad terms. Some never reach their potential. Some are forgotten.

Not Leo Trossard. Cult hero. Premier League Champion.

We’ll continue to see ‘Trossard 19’ at the Emirates for years to come ❤️

[Arsenal Family @arsenalfami1y]

A refereeing masterclass changed the game and gave complete control to PSG. Every 50/50, every time PSG dived the whistle blew. He didn’t allow time for the corner before half time, he booked Mosquera for nothing. Arsenal denied stonewall penalty.

He destroyed the contest.

[Luke Sheekey @LukeSheekey]

Not an Arsenal fan at all but they were robbed. From the moment the second half kicked off the referee was shocking towards them. It setup PSG’s momentum & made it tougher than the game already was. Something was said to him at HT 100%. Even talking to Gabriel before that penalty
