🚨 BLACK DAY FOR DEMOCRACY IN PAKISTAN!

AN ELECTED GOVERNMENT SUSPENDED. ELECTED LEADERS ILLEGALLY ABDUCTED.
DEMOCRACY UNDER SIEGE!

The reported suspension of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s democratically elected PTI government and provincial assembly marks a grave assault on Pakistan’s constitutional order.

Chief Minister Sohail Afridi and other elected PTI leaders have reportedly been ILLEGALLY ABDUCTED BY FASCIST FORCES, amid allegations of military-backed repression under Field Marshall Asim Munir.

250 MILLION PAKISTANIS DESERVE DEMOCRACY, NOT UNDECLARED MARTIAL LAW!

🌍 THE WORLD MUST NOT REMAIN SILENT! And stop Pakistan from going in to a civil war like situation due to military occupation.

The United States, European Union, United Kingdom, and all democratic nations must condemn this fascist action and demand:

• Immediate restoration of democracy, elected provincial government and constitutional rule.

• Immediate release of all unlawfully abducted political leaders and protesters.

• An end to military interference, political persecution, and suppression of peaceful dissent.

• Suspension of security cooperation enabling repression until constitutional democracy is restored.

🇺🇸 U.S. CONGRESS MUST STAND FOR DEMOCRACY AND CONSTITUTIONAL RULE IN PAKISTAN!

No general is above Pakistan’s Constitution. Pakistan belongs to its people, not its military.

Congress must condemn repression, demand constitutional rule, and review U.S. assistance enabling abuses.

SILENCE ENABLES TYRANNY!

[The Watchmen @TheWatchmen_1]

Yes - it has definitely not happened before, right?

[FirstPakistanGlobal @FirstPakGlobal]

Yes the same way Imran Khan is supported by youth and helped him get elected even when he was banned in Feb 2024, but they are called a highly vulgar slang!

[Maleeha Lodhi @LodhiMaleeha]

Very interesting how students and young people helped Luiz Lula Da Silva win the presidential election in Brazil

[Waqas @worqas]

The people of Pakistan voted overwhelmingly for a party, they went through hell to do so, they were kidnapped, tortured, their electoral signs taken away. The kind of rigging no previous election has seen. Yet they won.
But you won't celebrate that. Why?

[brief. @brief_pk]

Any government in Pakistan, elected or not, must act in the national interest. But the national interest cannot come at the expense of ordinary citizens' livelihoods, especially in a country where millions are already fighting to survive below the poverty line.

There is a complete blackout of news from Balochistan.

[CPJ Asia @CPJAsia]

#Pakistan: CPJ calls on Pakistani authorities in Pakistan to withdraw new restrictions requiring journalists in the Balochistan province to obtain official confirmation before reporting on security-related incidents from Inter-Service Public Relations, the armed forces’ media and public relations agency of armed forces, or head of the provincial police. before reporting on security incidents Authorities must ensure timely access to information and safeguard independent reporting.

🇵🇰 Imran Khan’s 3 sisters have already spent OVER A MONTH behind bars, and Pakistan just found a way to keep them there until at least November 26.

Punjab’s government has EXTENDED the detention of Aleema Khan, Uzma Khan and Noreen Niazi by ANOTHER 30 days, under a public order law normally aimed at people seen as threats to public peace.

Their family asked a court to free them, but the judge threw the case out over a paperwork issue.

Meanwhile, a terrorism court has pushed back its verdict against Aleema yet again, to November 26, the same day her detention ends.

Whether that timing is a coincidence is anyone’s guess, but there are fears Aleema could be arrested again in the terrorism case as soon as her detention ends.

3 sisters with no political roles, held under one law until another can take over. Is this how justice works in Pakistan now?

These Patwaris & Faujeets keep taunting PTI supporters, claiming that Shehbaz Sharif has saved the world from World War 3, when my leader has been saying for the past eight years that war is not the solution.

He never wanted to drag Pakistan into rented wars. He created strong resistance against such involvement, and that was a huge service to the nation. His sole focus was to give Pakistan and its people a dignified life, where the country could make its own independent decisions and free itself from the influence of Zionist interests.

The Epstein files also proved that Imran Khan poses a significant threat to the interests of the US and Israel. And that is why he is in jail today. There is a reason why those who profit from wars have kept him behind bars for the past four years.

Today, once again, it has been proven that my leader neither bowed down nor sent his people to their deaths, nor did he allow his nation to be humiliated before the world.

InshaAllah, he will return once again, and this time, he will teach a lesson not only to the oppressors in Pakistan but to the entire world.

[Hussain Nadim @HNadim87]

It takes some time, but eventually, Imran Khan is almost always proven right on the big things.

He is the most powerful voice for peace, justice, and human dignity in the world at a time when all three are in short supply.

There is a reason why those who want to cash wars have kept him locked up in a prison cell for the last 3+ years.

Thank you @SenMarkey for standing with the people of Pakistan and calling for the release of political prisoners, including Imran Khan. We urge @SFRCdems @SenateForeign Senate Foreign Relations leaders @SenatorRisch @SenatorShaheen and @ChrisVanHollen to speak up for democracy and human rights in Pakistan.

My statement on the state of democracy in Pakistan.

[Hussain Nadim @HNadim87]

If a military dictator actually wanted to do good, he’d subject himself to the highest level of accountability, not lifetime immunity.

Immunity is for those who want to ruin the country unchecked. Accountability is for those who genuinely want to build it.

FOUR YEARS WITHOUT ARSHAD SHARIF

Four years ago today, on October 23, 2022, Pakistani investigative journalist Arshad Sharif was shot dead by Kenyan police outside Nairobi. Police called it a case of mistaken identity.

Mr. Sharif, a prominent television anchor critical of Pakistan's military establishment, had left Pakistan in August 2022 after multiple criminal cases, including sedition charges, were registered against him.

In December 2022, Pakistan's own fact-finding team concluded the killing was a "planned, targeted assassination" and said people in Kenya, Dubai or Pakistan may have been involved.

Four years later, no one has been convicted.

🔹 In July 2024, Kenya's High Court ruled the shooting unlawful.
🔹 In July 2026, Kenya's Supreme Court declined to order prosecution of the officers.
🔹 Three men named in the criminal case remain at large.
🔹 In February 2026, the Federal Constitutional Court ended its oversight of the investigation, despite a written plea from his widow, Javeria Siddique, to keep it open.

His late mother, who died in October 2025 still seeking justice, asked that senior military and intelligence officials be named in the case. They were not. Pakistan's military rejects any suggestion of involvement. If that is so, an independent and transparent investigation should be welcomed by all sides.

First Pakistan Global calls on:

✅ Pakistan to make public the findings of the Special Joint Investigation Team
✅ Kenya to make a public charging decision on the officers involved
✅ Both governments to accept an independent international investigation, as Reporters Without Borders has urged
✅ @StateDept and Members of Congress to raise the case with both governments

Impunity in this case sends a message to every Pakistani journalist who asks hard questions.

@CAGEintl is a human rights organisation that has worked since 2003 with Guantánamo detainees, victims of rendition and communities targeted under counterterrorism laws. Its decision to name Imran Khan a War on Terror prisoner of conscience deserves attention.

A former Prime Minister has been held for more than three years in a series of politically charged cases, with serious concerns about due process, access to his lawyers and family, and his conditions of detention.

Whatever one's politics, this is a test of Pakistan's commitment to the rule of law. Political disagreement must be settled at the ballot box, not in a prison cell.

We join the call for his release. #FreeImranKhanNow

[CAGE International @CAGEintl]

Here’s why a former Pakistani Prime Minister has been declared a War on Terror prisoner of conscience.

Imran Khan spent years challenging Pakistan’s subservience to America and its complicity in the War on Terror

From the devastating war that killed over 50,000 people, to the rendition of Mullah Abdul Salam Zaeef and cases like Aafia Siddiqui, Khan’s stance exposed a deeper reality: America’s so-called war on terror has long depended on Pakistan’s cooperation.

Today, we continue to call for his unconditional release.

🇵🇰 EXCLUSIVE: IMRAN KHAN'S SONS SAY THE PAKISTANI GOVERNMENT IS TRYING TO KILL THEIR FATHER!

I spoke again with Qasim and Sulaiman Khan, and this conversation was the most heartbreaking.

Not only is their father, the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, still in solitary confinement, but his three courageous sisters, Aleema, Uzma and Noreen, have now also been arrested

And when @PTIofficial supporters hit the streets, many were arrested, beaten, and even killed!

Imran Khan’s sons say they haven't spoken to their father in over 6 months, nobody has seen him for 2 months, and they're increasingly worried about his deteriorating health.

I asked them the hardest question of all: Do they still believe they’ll ever see their father again?

Qasim admitted, he has very little hope, but they will never stop fighting

I told them both I wouldn't give up hope.

And I meant it.

[Hussain Nadim @HNadim87]

Governor Raj and emergencies are the clearest remnants of the colonial era.

Every time Pakistan's ruling elite imposes them, it gives an insight into how they treat the country as a colony to rule, rob, and extract from, while building their lives, wealth, and families abroad.

Pakistan needs another Independence 2.0; this time from those that look, talk and pray like them but behave like foreign colonizers.

[FirstPakistanGlobal @FirstPakGlobal]

Satire this sharp once aired on Pakistani national TV. The late Moin Akhtar & Masood Anwar knew laughter could carry truths that speeches couldn't. That space has now closed. When a nation finally understands the joke, and the jokers are silenced. #PressFreedom #Pakistan #Asimlaw
