If zionist lobby wanted Imran Khan out, he would be out in 30 minutes. You, your current fathers and your forefathers would lay down under every step Imran Khan would take out of jail.
The very U.S cypher which ousted and jailed Imran Khan was zionist lobby at work. Next time you open your mouth like this, remember, your Army Chief is the favourite General of Trump. You think that alleviation comes without Zionist lobby's approval?
“This is a humanitarian appeal… increasing concerns about health and well being of Imran Khan… one of the greatest players… increasing sense of urgency around his health…”
- Former England Cricket Captain @Athersmike, speaking at Lord’s Cricket Ground, raises concern for arbitrarily detained former PM and former Pakistan Cricket Captain Imran Khan.

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.
Imran Khan has become “a symbol of democratisation in a country that has been pillaged for decades by a military junta.”
Why is Khan still behind bars – and what happens next? Read the full column from @DanielJHannan 👇

I’ve met Imran Khan, Pakistan’s ex-PM, many times. I greatly like and admire him as a person, and hope the current leadership in Islamabad will realise how much damage his treatment in prison is doing to Pakistan’s image internationally. He clearly needs urgent medical care.
The rights of political prisoners are universal, beyond Geography Government or political affiliation. Be it in India ,Pakistan or anywhere in the world, those incarcerated must be treated with dignity and humanity, with access to proper medical care, family and legal counsel, and due process.
Court orders must be respected and rule of law upheld. Political differences can never justify denying a prisoner his or her fundamental rights.

ملک نازک دور سے گزر رہا ہے۔ کشمیر کا جھنڈا اٹھانا جرم ہے۔ گوری طور پر آئین میں ترمیم کی جائے اور اس شق کا اندراج کیا جائے۔ کشمیر کا جھنڈا اٹھایا کیوں۔ یہ کیا سبق دیا جا رہا ہے اور دنیا بھر میں پاکستان کو کتنا بدنام کرنا ہے۔

اوپر سے آرڈر آیا ہے۔
"ہم تو حکم کے پابند ہیں" — یہ عذر نہیں، دھوکہ ہے!
غیر قانونی اور ظالمانہ حکم ماننا اطاعت نہیں، ظلم میں شرکت ہے۔ اپنے حلف، آئین اور آخرت کا پاس رکھیں۔
کسی بھی ریاست کے اہلکار کا حلف آئین اور قانون کی پاسداری کا ہوتا ہے، ظلم اور بے انصافی کا نہیں۔ پرامن شہریں، ماؤں بہنوں کی بے حرمتی اور سیاسی انتقام کا حصہ بن کر اپنی دنیا اور آخرت خراب نہ کریں۔
آخری اور حتمی حکم صرف اللہ اور اس کے رسول (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) کا ہے۔ فیصلہ آپ کے ہاتھ میں ہے: انصاف یا ظلم؟

میں آپ کو بتاؤں عمران خان صاحب کے پاس جو پلان لے کے گئے تھے، میں ساتھ تھا اس میں۔ عمران خان صاحب نے اس سے پہلے کہ یہ لوگ، پانچ چھ لوگ تھے ہم۔ سلمان اکرم راجہ صاحب تھے، علی امین گنڈاپور صاحب تھے، صاحبزادہ حامد رضا میرا بھائی جو بے گناہ جیل میں ہے، تو خان صاحب نے بیٹھتے ہی کہا، "میں نے، پہلے میری بات سنو، میں نے بنی گالا نہیں جانا ہے۔"
"میں نے کوئی کمپرومائز نہیں کرنا ہے۔ میرے ساتھ والے لوگ جو ایک جملہ لکھ کے دے دیتے باہر آ جاتے۔ وہ جیل میں رہیں اور میں جنابِ والا ڈ��ل کر کے تو جا کے ادھر بیٹھ جاؤں؟ میں نہیں جاؤں گا۔ اور یہ جیل میرے لیے اللہ کی نعمت ہے۔" "میں پہلے وقت نہیں ہوتا تھا، قرآن پڑھتا ہوں تو پہلے ایک ترجمہ ابھی میرے ��اس کئی ترجمے ہیں یا تفسیریں ہیں، مجھے اب صحیح یاد نہیں ہے۔" چار پانچ کی انہوں نے بات کی تھی۔ "دعا کرتا ہوں، پہلے نماز جلدی جلدی پڑھتا تھا، اب اطمینان سے نماز پڑھتا ہوں۔ کتابیں پڑھتا ہوں۔ یہ جیل میرے لیے اللہ کی نعمت ہے۔
