Important Message from Former Prime Minister Imran Khan from Adiala Jail - 22 July 2025
Note: This tweet is based on the tweet from July 24, 2025.
“Never in the history of Pakistan has any political leader been subjected to the treatment that I am currently enduring. Nawaz Sharif committed corruption worth billions and was nevertheless granted every possible comfort in prison. In contrast, never before has the innocent and apolitical spouse of a political figure been imprisoned under such inhumane conditions as those imposed upon Bushra Bibi.
I am enduring the harshest prison term in the country’s history solely for the supremacy of the Constitution and in service of my nation. The level of oppression and authoritarianism is such that even the water I have for ablution is filthy and contaminated with dirt, unfit for any human being. Books sent to me by my family have been withheld for months. Access to television and newspapers has also been suspended. I have spent countless hours re-reading the same old books, but now even those are no longer available.
All my basic human rights have been violated. Even the minimum facilities accorded to ordinary prisoners under the law and the jail manual are denied to me. Despite repeated requests, I have not been allowed to speak to my children. Political meetings have also been restricted; I am only permitted to meet certain ‘choice individuals’, while all other interactions are barred.
I am waging a battle against a 78-year-old system, and my greatest success is that despite unprecedented oppression, the public stands firmly with me.
On February 8th (2024), the people expressed their trust in Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf by voting for you even in the absence of an electoral symbol. After such a clear mandate, it is the moral and political responsibility of every party member to become the voice of the people. It will be nothing short of disgraceful and condemnable if PTI leaders waste time on internal conflicts at this critical juncture. Anyone found engaging in factionalism within the party will be expelled. I am fighting for the future of our generations, and every sacrifice I make is for that cause. To create rifts within the party at this time would be a direct betrayal of my mission and vision.
The so-called government formed through Form 47 has crippled the judiciary through the 26th Constitutional Amendment. The way biased judges are now delivering blatantly unjust verdicts under these courts is visible to the entire nation. We must launch a robust campaign to liberate the judiciary, for no nation can survive, let alone progress, without judicial independence.”
Today, my aunt, Aleema Khan, has been abducted by police in Lahore. Our family has been told nothing about where she has been taken. Her family and lawyers cannot reach her.
This is the behaviour of a fascist government - abducting people, terrorising families and trampling human rights, due process and the rule of law while pretending to stand for democracy.
First they imprisoned my father. Now they are coming after his family.
We demand immediate access to her for her family and lawyers, full disclosure of where she is being held, and her immediate release.
The world cannot keep looking away from what is happening in Pakistan.
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

Former Prime Minister Imran Khan in conversation at Adiala Jail - 24 July 2025
Note: This is a repost of the tweet from 24th July 2025
“We have knocked on every door, but no one has listened. I had asked for dialogue only once, and that too was conditional upon commissions to investigate the events of November 26th (2024) and May 9th (2023) being formed. It was Asim Munir who ordered the shooting of unarmed civilians on November 26th. I reiterate there is no longer any room for dialogue because this group has completely hijacked the entire system.
I have instructed Barrister Gohar, Salman Akram Raja, Ali Amin Gandapur, and Junaid Akbar to ensure the protest movement runs with full force. The objective of this movement must be the restoration of justice, the supremacy of law, and the protection of the Constitution. If we fail to raise our voices in the streets, this group of oppressors will gradually finish off our parliamentary party as well. I am standing firm; all of you must also stand firm.
Eighty percent of the people of Pakistan stand with me and we are entitled to fight for our rights. I am aware that 90% of the electoral fraud took place between polling and the compilation of results. I campaigned for the implementation of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) for two years. If EVMs had been used on February 8th (2024), the game would have ended there and then. I still say today: if transparent elections are desired, EVMs must be introduced, and rigging will end once and for all.”
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
ٹرینڈ الرٹ 🚨
انصافینز سب یہ ٹرینڈ #ContemptOfCourt شروع کریں اور سپریم کورٹ سے مطالبہ کریں کہ حکومت پر فوری طور پر توہین عدالت لگائیں۔
سوشل میڈیا اس پر بھرپور آواز اٹھائیں
دبئی اور خلیجی ممالک کے حوالے سے سوشل میڈیا پر منفی پوسٹیں لگانے والوں سے گزارش ہے کہ تھوڑی عقل استعمال کریں۔
Dubai، Saudi Arabia اور دیگر خلیجی ممالک ہم پاکستانیوں کے لیے ہمیشہ ماں جیسا کردار ادا کرتے رہے ہیں۔ آج لاکھوں پاکستانی وہاں روزگار کر رہے ہیں، اپنی فیملیز کو پال رہے ہیں اور اربوں ڈالر کی ریمیٹنس پاکستان بھیج رہے ہیں۔
آپ چند ویوز اور لائکس کے چکر میں ایسی ویڈیوز اور پوسٹیں لگا رہے ہیں جن سے سب سے زیادہ نقصان کسی اور کا نہیں بلکہ پاکستانیوں کا ہوگا۔ پہلے ہی ویزوں کے مسائل ہیں، اگر مزید سختی ہوئی تو وہاں کام کرنے والے ہمارے ہی بھائی، رشتے دار اور دوست متاثر ہوں گے۔
یاد رکھیں، جنگ ہو یا بحران یہ وقتی چیزیں ہوتی ہیں۔ حالات خراب ہوتے ہیں تو ٹھیک بھی ہو جاتے ہیں۔ لیکن اگر ہمارے اپنے رویے کی وجہ سے خلیجی ممالک پاکستانیوں پر پابندیاں لگا دیں تو اس کا نقصان سالوں تک پورے ملک کو ہوگا۔
دبئی رول آف لا پر چلنے والا ملک ہے، وہاں کا سسٹم مضبوط ہے، اور میں ذاتی طور پر کئی بار جا چکا ہوں ہمیشہ اسے محفوظ پایا ہے، اور ان شاء اللہ آئندہ بھی محفوظ رہے گا۔
لہٰذا خدارا سستی شہرت کے لیے ایسی حرکتیں نہ کریں جن سے ہزاروں پاکستانیوں کا روزگار خطرے میں پڑ جائے۔
انسان کے بچے بنیں، اپنے لوگوں کے لیے آسانی پیدا کریں، مشکل نہیں..
اگر آپ پاکستان کرکٹ سے حقیقی محبت کرتے ہیں تو چار اوور مین پچھلے چار سال سے مسلسل پٹنے اور زلیل ہونے والے بالر کو دس اوور میں کپتان بنانے پر احتجاج کیوں نہی کر رہے۔

Unless we remove political influence and personal agendas from Pakistan cricket, we cannot return to the team we once were. This is the darkest period in our cricketing history, and my heart bleeds for it. Incompetent individuals must be removed from office and from the team.
