What is happening to @imrankhanPTI is an abuse on every conceivable level.
Passively monitoring the situation is plainly not enough. It is time for active diplomacy.

Relatives of former Pakistani PM Imran Khan say he’s being tortured in prison after he was returned to Adiala Jail hours after a court-ordered medical examination on Friday.
Imran Khan has become “a symbol of democratisation in a country that has been pillaged for decades by a military junta.”

The single greatest national threat facing Pakistan at the moment is the current illegitimate military rule in the country.
This has to be said.
The more legitimacy they lose at home, the more "favourite" they become abroad. Because an illegitimate setup that relies on legitimacy abroad will sign almost any foreign deal and trade sovereignty to survive in power domestically.
For a country that has already collapsed once under military rule in 1971, we are witnessing a second collapse unfold using the exact same template, somehow expecting a different outcome.
Muzaffarabad's residents, in Pakistan-administered Kashmir, have boycotted the election amid a strike, with protesters questioning how voting could proceed after unrest that has killed at least 80 people since June, according to local estimates. Al Jazeera’s Kamal Hyder reports.
عمران خان کی حکومت گرا کر، تین سال عمران خان کو بدترین قید میں ڈال کر پاکستان کے چپے چپے میں جو آگ لگا دی گئی ہے۔ کوئٹہ سے کشمیر تک، اسلام آباد سے مریدکے تک جیسے اپنے لوگوں پر انہی کی حفاظت کے لیے مہیا کی گئی بندوقوں سے، انہی کے پیسوں سے خریدی گئی گولیوں سے، انہی کا خون بہا کر، انہی کے دیس کو لہولہان کیا جارہا ہے۔ جیسے خیبر پختونخواہ سے بلوچستان تک کو اپنے مقاصد کے حصول کے لیے آگ کے دہانے پر پہنچا دیا گیا ہے۔ یہ صرف اور صرف اس بات کی تصدیق کرتا ہے کہ رجیم چینج کی سازش صرف عمران خان کو ہٹانے کی سازش نہیں تھی یہ ملک توڑنے کا سودا تھا۔ عاصم منیر اور اس کے ماتحت ٹولے نے پاکستان کو جس آگ میں جھونک دیا ہے پاکستانی قوم کو فیصلہ کرنا ہوگا کہ ہم نے ایک ایک کرکے اپنی باری کا انتظار کرنا ہے یا ایک ہی بار اور متحد ہوکر اس عفریت سے نجات کے لیے تگ و دو کرنی ہے۔ شاید ہمارے پاس ایسا کرنے کے لیے زیادہ وقت نہ بچا ہو۔
💢🇵🇰 Pakistan accused of killing at least 30 unarmed protesters in two days in Pakistan-administered Kashmir
Pakistani security forces opened fire on demonstrators near Rawalakot in Pakistan-administered Kashmir this week, with organizers reporting dozens killed as tens of thousands attempted a long march toward the regional capital, Muzaffarabad.
At least 30 people were killed over two days, 25 on Monday and five on Tuesday, according to the Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC), the civil society group leading more than 50 days of protests over electoral reform and detained activists. The Guardian said it could not independently verify the toll, as media were barred from the area and an internet blackout remained in place.
Organizers say forces fired on unarmed marchers without warning; police say armed protesters fired first, killing a paramilitary Ranger. JAAC says security forces later removed bodies from streets and hospitals in Mirpur to conceal the killings.
A resident who reached Islamabad told Drop Site that Rangers had raided homes and forced women at gunpoint to cook for them. Amnesty International has called on Pakistan to lift the communications blackout.
At least 20 people have been killed in Pakistan-administered Kashmir after security forces fired guns and tear gas at people protesting over regional elections.
