🚨Extreme crackdown on family members of Imran Khan, who remains imprisoned ahead of a scheduled protest

[Imran Riaz Khan @ImranRiazKhan]

Final confirmation of arrests , Dr Uzma Khan and Noreen Khanum, along with Dr Uzma’s son Azeem, Aleema Khan’s sons Shahrez and Sher Shah, Noreen Khanum’s daughter Sakina, two female staff members and the family’s chef Mustafa malik , have all been arrested and taken to an undisclosed location.

[Michael Polak @MichaelPolakLaw]

Upon instructions from friends and family, I have submitted an urgent complaint to the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (@UN_SPExperts) copied to the Special Rapporteurs on Freedom of Expression, Belief, and Association concerning the detention of @ImranKhanPTI 's sister Mrs Aleema Khan (@Aleema_KhanPK)

On 20 September 2026, Mrs Khan was seized from near her house in Lahore and the authorities, after first refusing to acknowledge that they had detained her, have now stated that she is being held under the draconian Punjab Maintenance of Public Order Ordinance, which allows the authorities to order the detention of individuals without court approval.

It is clear that Mrs Aleema Khan has been targeted because of her support for her brother (@ImranKhanPTI) and because of her advocacy for democracy in Pakistan and we have submitted that her detention is unlawful and arbitrary, as it is without a proper legal basis and has taken place because of her exercise of her rights to freedom of expression, belief, and assembly, and in an attempt to dampen support for the legitimate public protest in support of Imran Khan planned for 27 September 2026.

After speaking up for Aleema following her seizure, her two sisters have now also been detained.

We ask you all to raise the case of Aleema Khan and her sisters wherever you are and for the international community to act for democracy in Pakistan.

IMRAN KHAN’S ENTIRE FAMILY HAS BEEN ABDUCTED!

The former Prime Minister’s sisters and their children have all been taken away

💔

[Kasim Khan @Kasim_Khan_1999]

And it get’s worse.

My cousin Shahrez’s 2 children of 4 and 6 years old are now missing.

There is no limit to their cruelty. Complete disregard for humanity.

[Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal]

WTF IS GOING ON IN PAKISTAN!

They arrest the former Prime Minister Imran Khan, put him in solitary confinement for years, do the same to his wife, then start arresting his family

And now arrest his sister, who's in her 70s, because she's speaking out in support of her brother! the former PRIME MINISTER!!!

Enough is enough! THE FAMILY HAS BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH!

Police arrest Pakistan ex-PM Imran Khan's sister in Lahore ahead of party's planned march https://t.co/e9yVzdpoAU https://t.co/e9yVzdpoAU

[Kasim Khan @Kasim_Khan_1999]

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

I am an Imran Khan man

The dictatorship in Pakistan can no longer pretend Imran Khan does not exist, now that the court has ordered him moved to hospital. The regime has tortured or slow poisoned him almost to death

The ongoing detention and shocking mistreatment of Imran Khan is a grave violation of human rights, democracy and basic decency.

I reiterate my calls for his release.

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.

[Sandra Rupp @ExecCareerCoach]

Perhaps this is something the USA and UK can agree on: Please support the release of former PM Imran Khan out of prison in Pakistan! @POTUS @FLOTUS @SecRubio @StateDept #HumanRights #ImranKhan 🇺🇸🇬🇧 #FreeImranKhan @Ed_Miliband @AndyBurnham @RoyalFamily

[Zac Goldsmith @ZacGoldsmith]

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.
-An urgent letter to Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband

[The Telegraph @Telegraph]

'The relative lack of interest in Imran Khan’s fate, other than among Britons of Pakistani heritage, is mystifying'

'Whatever mistakes he made as PM, Khan is a symbol of democratisation in a country that has been pillaged for decades by a military junta'

@DanielJHannan examines why 'that should be enough to make his cause ours' ⬇️

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s condemnation of the U.S. and Israel’s attack on Iran initially made him an outlier in Europe. Now everyone wants in.
