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.

Today, I had the honour of speaking to the 47 countries that comprise the @UN #HumanRightsCouncil urging the immediate release of my father @imrankhanpti and all #Pakistan’s #politicalprisoners. Along with this, I want to be very clear. Like my father, I fully support maintaining GSP+ as the people of #Pakistan should never be punished for the actions of its leaders. But the Pakistani regime must also fully comply with the 27 treaties it committed to follow to obtain this benefit, including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and Convention Against Torture. @UN @ptiofficial #HumanRights #ImranKhanUnlawfullyDetained

میرے والد کی غیر قانونی حراست، انہیں تنہائی میں رکھنا، طبی سہولیات سے محروم کرنا، خاندان سے ملاقاتوں پر پابندی یہ سب ان عالمی معاہدوں کی صریح خلاف ورزی ہیں۔
میں اور میرا بھائی سیاسی لوگ نہیں ہیں۔ ہم کبھی بھی اس طرح کے اداروں کے سامنے نہیں آنا چاہتے تھے، لیکن میرے والد کی زندگی کا تقاضا ہے کہ ہم اب قدم اٹھائیں۔
ہم اس وقت خاموش تماشائی بن کر نہیں رہ سکتے جب ہمارے والد کی صحت بگڑ رہی ہے اور انہیں ہم سے دور رکھا گیا ہے۔

“اس ملک کے ججوں کو خود پر شرم آنی چاہیے۔ ہم نے بارہا عدلیہ سے رجوع کیا، لیکن انہوں نے اپنی ذاتی مراعات کے عوض اپنے ضمیر کا سودا کر لیا ہے۔ انہوں نے اپنی دیانتداری بیچ ڈالی ہے۔

وہ جانتے ہیں کہ وہ مجھے توڑ نہیں سکتے، اس لیے وہ میری اہلیہ کو اذیت پہنچاتے ہیں۔ صرف مجھے بلیک میل کرنے کے لیے ججز بشریٰ بی بی کے ساتھ اس قدر غیر انسانی سلوک کی اجازت کیسے دے سکتے ہیں؟ انہیں دن کے 24 گھنٹے قید تنہائی میں رکھا جاتا ہے، اور پورے ہفتے میں مجھ سے ملاقات کے محض 30 منٹ دئیے جاتے ہیں، اور اکثر تو اس ملاقات پر بھی پابندی عائد کر دی جاتی ہے۔ اسلام میں عورتوں، بچوں اور بزرگوں کو نقصان پہنچانے کی ممانعت ہے۔ ان کے مقاصد بالکل واضح ہیں۔

جج معاشرے میں انصاف کے ذمہ دار ہوتے ہیں، لیکن اس ملک کے ججز کو خود پر شرم آنی چاہیے” -

“The judges in this country should be ashamed of themselves. Time and time again we have gone to the judiciary. But they have sold their souls for their paid personal privileges. They have sold their integrity. They know they cannot break me, so they turn to my wife. How they can allow this inhumane treatment to Bushra BiBi, simply to blackmail me. She spends 24 hours a day in isolation, except for 30 minutes with me per week - and even that is often ignored. It is unislamic to harm women, children and the elderly - and their motives are plain and clear. The judges are responsible for the justice in a society. They should be ashamed of themselves.”

[Jemima Goldsmith @Jemima_Khan]

My sons Sulaiman & @kasim_khan_1999 applied for visas in January (again… ) to allow them to visit their father @ImranKhanPTI in Pakistan. The Pakistan consulate states that online visa processing normally takes 7–10 working days. It has now been 60 days. This despite the public promise that they could safely travel there to see their father after 4 years, made by both Defence Minister @khawajaMAsif to @mehdirhasan & PM spokesperson @mosharrafzaidi to @SkyYaldaHakim
Meanwhile, they are not allowed to speak to him on the phone, nor send him a letter. They haven’t seen him since 2022 after he was shot in an assassination attempt.
This is an appeal directly to Pakisan’s PM @CMShehbaz to please allow Imran Khan’s two sons to see their father asap, particularly since, by all accounts, his health is in decline.

#ImranKhanNeedsProperCare

[Aleema Khanum @Aleema_KhanPK]

We have been waiting since yesterday for the written order from the Chief Justice of Pakistan. Nearly 24 hours have passed, and we still have not received it. At the same time, the Chief Justice set a deadline of 16th February for Imran Khan to receive immediate treatment from specialist doctors. Our position is clear and unequivocal, Imran Khan must be examined and treated by specialists, in the presence of his personal doctors, at Shifa International.

[Kasim Khan @Kasim_Khan_1999]

We have been informed that my father, Imran Khan, has lost most of the vision in his right eye, with reports indicating only 15% eyesight remains. This is the direct consequence of 922 days of solitary confinement, medical neglect (denied blood tests) and the deliberate denial of proper treatment in jail.

The responsibility lies squarely with the regime in power, the Army Chief and the puppets enabling this cruelty. This physical deterioration is happening under their orders, their watch and their responsibility. They have manipulated and warped the justice system in order to keep my father in solitary confinement.

My brother and I are still being denied visas to see our father as his health deteriorates. History will record this injustice.

We urge human rights bodies, legal institutions and democratic nations to confront this persecution and ensure those responsible face consequences.

[Kasim Khan @Kasim_Khan_1999]

My brother and I are trying to travel to Pakistan to see our father. For 914 days, he has been held in solitary confinement while his health deteriorates and he is denied access to independent medical care.

Now the government is deliberately refusing to process our visas. Denying a prisoner treatment is cruel. Denying his children the right to see him is collective punishment. I call on international human rights organisations and governments to speak out and act before irreversible harm is done.
