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.
کوئی بھی شخص اپنی فیملی کو اپنی جائیداد منتقل کر سکتا ہے اے سی بھلوال چیف سیکرٹری پنجاب کے کہنے پر یہ کر رہے ہیں یا ڈاکٹر مختار بھرتھ کے کہنے پر ؟؟
کیا پی ٹی ائی والے اپنی جائیدادیں تک منتقل نہیں کر سکتے ؟؟
🇵🇰 21 former international cricket captains, including some of the biggest names in the sport, have written to Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif demanding proper medical treatment for jailed former PM and cricket legend Imran Khan.
Signatories include Allan Border, Ian and Greg Chappell, Sunil Gavaskar, Adam Gilchrist, Alastair Cook, Clive Lloyd, Michael Atherton, Nasser Hussain, Steve Waugh and others.
They note Pakistan’s Supreme Court ordered Khan examined by a medical board including his own doctors and sister, but he was instead assessed by a state-appointed team and returned to Adiala Jail within hours. They are demanding an independent assessment, particularly over reported loss of vision in his right eye, restored weekly family visits, and immediate access to any recommended treatment.
Khan, 73, has now spent more than three years in custody.

BREAKING NEWS: 22 Former international cricket captains have once again written a letter to Pakistan PM over the treatment for Imran Khan. They first wrote a similar letter in February and this one comes after Pak allegedly didn’t completely comply with SC directions.
They have laid down 3 demands:
1. That the medical board directed by the Supreme Court — including Mr Khan's own doctors — be permitted to complete a full and independent assessment of his health, particularly the reported loss of vision in his right eye.
2. That the weekly family visits reinstated by the Court be honoured without interruption or administrative delay.
3. That whatever the outcome of that medical assessment, the treatment recommended by it be provided without delay.
Three Indians - Kapil Dev, Sunil Gavaskar and Dilip Vengsarkar are among the 22 former captains.

جس طرح عامر ڈوگر نے جہانگیر ترین کے خلاف اپنی الیکشن کمپین کی تھی بلکل اسی طرح عامر ڈوگر کو ملتان میں Long march کی کمپین کرنا ہوگی
اپنی ٹیمز، UC ناظم ، نائب ناظم اپنے دور نزدیک کے رشتے داروں کو متحرک کرنا ہوگا، پولنگ ڈے ( لانگ مارچ ڈے ) کیلئے ٹرانسپورٹ کا اہتمام کرنا ہوگا، ڈیرے پر دسترخوان لگانے ہوں گے، کارنر میٹنگز، ریلیاں کرنا ہوں گی، رات کے اندھیرے میں، دن کے اجالے میں بغیر سوئے گھر گھر لانگ مارچ کا مقصد بتانے کیلئے جانا ہوگا ، یہ سوچنا ہوگا کہ اگر Long march ہار گئے تو سیاست ختم ہو جائے گی لیڈر مزید دور چلا جائے گا، قوم مزید غلامی کے اندھیروں میں چلی جائے گی
ہر ممبر اسمبلی اور ٹکٹ ہولڈر کو اس جذبے سے نکلنا ہوگا ( یہ پیغام صرف عامر ڈوگر کیلئے نہیں بلکہ ہر ممبر اسمبلی کیلئے ہے )

ملٹری اسٹیبلشمنٹ نے ان تین سالوں میں کوئی ایسا ظلم نہیں ہے جو عمران خان پر نہ کیا ہو۔ اس کے باوجود ایک شخص نہیں ٹوٹ رہا، تین سال ہو گئے ہیں۔ تو اب تو اسٹیبلشمنٹ کو سوچنا چاہیے کہ جس کے ساتھ پچیس کروڑ عوام کھڑی ہو، اور اس کے مقابلے میں پاکستان میں کوئی دوسری پارٹی بھی نہ ہو، پھر آپ اس کے ساتھ یہ سب کیسے کر سکتے ہیں؟
