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.
پاکستان میں عمران خان کے بغیر سیاست کا تصور ناممکن ہے، اور پی ٹی آئی کا تصور قطعی ناممکن ہے عمران خان کے بغیر۔۔۔ اگر کوئی یہ سمجھتا ہے کہ عمران خان کو سائیڈ لائن کردیا جائے گا، منظر سے ہٹا دیا جائے گا تو یہ اسکی بیوقوفی ہے۔
عمران خان پاکستان کی سیاست کا واحد محور ہے ہم اس کے ساتھ کھڑے ہیں، ہم آخری دم تک اس کے ساتھ وفا نبھائیں گے۔ عمران خان کے ساتھ پاکستانی قوم کھڑی ہے۔
ہم پاکستان کے مزدور، کسان، اور ہر طبقے کو کہتے ہیں عمران خان کی رہائی میں تمہاری آزادی ہے آؤ ہمارا ساتھ دو، تاریخ گواہ ہے عوام کے ریلے کو کوئی طاقت نہیں روک سکتی، ظلم جتنا بڑھ جائے جیت حق اور سچ کی ہوتی ہے۔ @salmanAraja
سلمان صفدر نے جج کو کہا کہ انسانیت کا سوال ہے آپ یہ کیوں نہیں سمجھ رہے کہ عمران خان اور بشری بی بی کی آنکھیں خراب ہوچکی ہیں اور وہ پچھلے پانچ ماہ سے قیدِ تنہائی میں ہیں۔ ہم آپ سے انصاف مانگنے آئے ہیں۔ یہ سن کر اگر کوئی انصاف کرنے والا جج ہوتا تو اس کے چہرے پر انسانیت آتی وہ سوال کرتا کہ یہ ظلم کیوں ہورہا ہے؟ لیکن ایسا نہیں ہوا جج صاحب سخت پریشان نظر آئے وہ شاید چاہتے تھے کہ اس کیس کو وفاقی آئینی عدالت ٹرانسفر کردیں۔
سخت سے سخت جج بھی عمران خان اور بشری بی بی کی حالت کا سن کے پریشان ہوتا لیکن یہ جج صاحب بار بار ایک بات کررہے تھے اپیل سن لو ایک بار بھی عمران خان یا بشری بی بی کے حوالے سے سوال نہیں کیا۔
واضح نظر آرہا تھا جج پریشر میں ہے، اس کو فون کالز آئی ہیں۔ @Aleema_KhanPK کی ہائی کورٹ کے باہر میڈیا سے گفتگو
“Our father has lost 80% of his vision. He’d been complaining about his eye for months but was getting ignored. It’s only now been treated later then it should have been. It’s not in good condition. We have no visibility into why it’s occurred. They’ve given us no medical reports. Everything is covered up.” @Kasim_Khan_1999 and Sulaiman Khan speak to @Channel4News.

Imran Khan has been kept in solitary confinement for six months under brutal conditions, while Bushra Bibi is being held the same way. Their freedom is being deliberately blocked by the Chief Justice of the Islamabad High Court, who refuses to fix their bail hearings.
Imran Khan has made it clear that the judiciary is no longer independent, it is acting like a tool of the government. Judges assigned to his cases are not delivering justice; they are ensuring hearings never happen. The reality is simple: the moment this case is heard, its weak and baseless nature will be exposed, and bail will become unavoidable. That is exactly why it is being stalled. Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi continued imprisonment is due to Judge Dogar, who is openly facilitating a government that came to power by stealing Imran Khan’s mandate.
Through Salman Safdar, Imran Khan has sent a message, his wife is being pushed to the edge by prolonged isolation. He has said he can endure this ظلم himself, but she is being broken to force him into submission. The pressure is deliberate, calculated, and inhumane. He said clearly “no deal, no surrender! It is liberty or death.”
“All means of removing me from the political landscape were used. There were two assassination attempts on my life.” @ImranKhanPTI writes from prison that his party is being unfairly muzzled, in a guest essay for The Economist https://t.co/fjxBaqJ87B

عمران خان کو علاج کے لیے شفا انٹرنیشنل اسپتال منتقل کرنے کی ایک اور درخواست اسلام آباد ہائیکورٹ میں دائر ، عظمی خان کی جانب سے دائر درخواست میں عمران خان تک ان کی پسند کے ذاتی معالجین کو رسائی دینے اور مکمل میڈیکل چیک اپ اور میڈیکل ریکارڈ کے حصول کی استدعا کی گئی ہے,اس الگ سے درخواست کا مقصد کہ صحت اہم معاملہ ہے اس کو الگ سے سنے پہلے والی درخواست توشہ خانہ کیس کے ساتھ لگا دی تھی ،
سہیل آفریدی صاحب !!! آپ کے سابق باس علی امین گنڈاپور نے چند دن پہلے آپ کی جھولی میں بیٹھ کر پیشاب کردیا۔ آپ کے موجودہ پارٹی چئیرمین نے اپنی دم پر پاؤں آیا تو چیخ مارتے مارتے آپ کا نام لے لیا۔
سہیل آفریدی صاحب ! کچھ تو غلط ہورہا ہے آپ کے ساتھ۔ کیا آپ کو بیوقوف بنایا جارہا ہے؟ کیا آپ کو استعمال کیا جارہا ہے؟ کیا آپ کو ورغلایا جارہا ہے؟ کیا آپ کو ان گھاگھ لوگوں کی چالیں سمجھ نہیں آرہیں؟
آفریدی صاحب آپ کا ہتھیار عمران خان کا اعتماد اور عوامی مقبولیت ہے۔ کورکمانڈر سے قربت اور محسن نقوی کا اعتماد نہیں۔ آپ اپنا بہت سارا ایندھن ضائع کرچکے۔ جو بچے ہیں سنگ وہ سمیٹ لو۔ آپ کا تن داغ داغ کرکے لٹایا جارہا ہے۔
It is critical and urgent that Imran Khan be examined and treated at a proper medical facility. Our recommendations to CJP clearly demanded that he be examined and treated at Shifa International Hospital (Islamabad) by specialist doctors, under the supervision of his personal physicians and in the presence of his family members. It is extremely unfortunate that Chief Justice Yahya Afridi expressed satisfaction with the doctors’ visit to Adiala Jail and completely disregarded the family’s lawful and legitimate demands.
What are they hiding?
The extraordinary effort by the government and establishment to prevent Imran Khan from being properly examined, tested, and treated in a reputable tertiary care hospital, under the supervision of his own doctors and in the presence of his family, raises serious questions. Government ministers have falsely claimed that his treatment was delayed because the family insisted on their presence along with his personal doctors. This was not a delaying tactic; it was a necessary safeguard to ensure transparency, proper care, and his safety. The additional doctor who accompanied the PIMS doctor to Adiala Jail was sent ONLY for examination, not treatment. What kind of comprehensive examinations can be conducted inside a jail facility, which lacks the equipment, environment, and safeguards of a proper hospital?
The PIMS doctors, along with a specialist from Al-Shifa Trust Eye Hospital, were sent to Adiala Jail on Monday, 16th February, to show compliance with the deadline set by Chief Justice Yahya Afridi. However, on Tuesday, 17th February, Imran Khan conveyed a message through Bushra Bibi via her daughter, clearly stating that he was NOT satisfied with the doctors’ visit or the treatment being provided, and he specifically asked that his blood tests should be conducted in the presence of his personal doctors, Dr. Asim and Dr. Faisal. We REJECT any medical reports drawn up as a result of examinations conducted in the absence of Imran Khan’s personal physicians and family member. URGENCY IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE.
As top former cricket captains around the world issue this powerful statement in support of @ImranKhanPTI, I recall my piece last year on the Imran I knew: https://t.co/tFAbMdYMqe
Mohammad Amir said -
"In early days, India used to fear Pakistan. Now they don't even take us seriously."
Now-a-days, India 🇮🇳 don't even celebrate after winning the match against Pakistan
What do you all think 🤔
