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.”
1971 میں آدھا پاکستان کھونے کے بعد ان کی اکڑ نہیں گئی اور یہ اپنی سیاسی مخالف کے گھر کی عورتوں کو اغواہ کرنے پر آگئے ہیں ان کا ایک کرنل اپنی بیوی یا گرل فرینڈ کے لئے سر عام گولیاں چلاتا ہے لیکن کسی سویلین کی ماں بہن بیٹی کو اٹھا لیا جائے اور وہ صرف احتجاج کی بات کرے تو اسے ہی دہشتگرد اور غدار قرار دے دیتے ہیں یہ اپنے آپ کو آپ کا آقا سمجھتے ہیں
وقار ملک
یہاں سب بہت بڑی بڑی باتیں کرتے ہیں
میں آپکو حقیقت بتاتی ہوں کہ حقیقت میں کیا ہوتا ہے
حقیقت یہ ہے کہ جب رات کے درمیانے پہر پولیس کی نفری آپکے گھر دھاوا بولتی ہے تو کوئی مدد کو نہیں آتا۔
بس آپ ہوتے ہے وہ نفری ہوتی ہے اور آپ کے اہلِ خانہ ہوتے ہیں۔ اس وقت سب سے ضروری چیز ہوتی ہے اپنی ماؤں بہنوں اور بچیوں کی عزت بچانا، ان کو مار پیٹ سے بچانا۔ اپنی زندگی کی جمع پُونجی اپنا گھر بچانا۔
کل رات کی گرفتاریاں اسکا ثبوت ہیں کہ عمران خان کے اہلِ خانہ تک کو بچانے پورے لاہور سے کوئی نا آ سکا۔ کسی نے اس طرف جانے کی ہمت نا کی جب کہ شام سے پولیس وہاں تھی۔
اللّٰہ ہم سب کو اپنے حفظ و امان میں رکھے کیونکہ ہمارا مقابلہ کمظرف جانوروں سے ہے۔
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
🚨 ‘WHERE’S THE HUMANITY?’: IMRAN KHAN’S SONS SPEAK OUT
The sons of jailed former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan have voiced growing fears over their father’s health and treatment in prison, saying they have been unable to speak to him for months.
Sulaiman and Kasim Khan have raised concerns over his prolonged isolation and wellbeing, asking, “Where’s the humanity?”
Pakistani authorities have rejected allegations that the former prime minister is being mistreated.

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 marks 3 years since Imran Khan was unjustly incarcerated.
He is still being denied basic human rights and remains in solitary confinement.
His abominable treatment is an affront to democracy. I will continue to demand the release of all political prisoners, everywhere.
The sons of the imprisoned former leader of Pakistan Imran Khan told CNN they fear for their father's health, claiming authorities in the South Asian country are preventing them from seeing him.
Pakistan's government said it "categorically rejects" the claim that Khan has faced a communication blackout or been denied access to his family, lawyers and doctors. Read more: https://t.co/FZSRdjTfaC
ہمیں اطلاعات موصول ہوئی ہیں کہ 15 جون کی علی الصبح عمران خان کو ایک بار پھر پمز اسپتال منتقل کیا گیا۔ ہمیں اس بارے میں 15 جون کی صبح بیرسٹر گوہر کی ایک ٹویٹ کے ذریعے معلوم ہوا۔
ہم عمران خان کی صحت سے متعلق پمز کی جانب سے جاری کی جانے والی کسی بھی طبی رپورٹ کو مسترد کرتے ہیں۔ یہی ادارہ ماضی میں بھی مشکوک دعوے کر چکا ہے، جن میں یہ دعویٰ بھی شامل تھا کہ عمران خان کی بینائی 90 فیصد بحال ہو چکی ہے۔ بعد ازاں جب ان کے وکیل نے اڈیالہ جیل میں ان سے ملاقات کی تو عمران خان نے خود ان دعوؤں کو مسترد کر دیا۔
ایک بنیادی سوال اب بھی جواب طلب ہے: عمران خان کو پانچویں انجیکشن کی ضر��رت کیوں پیش آئی؟
ہم حکومت کے مؤقف کو قبول نہیں کرتے۔ ہمارا مطالبہ ہے کہ عمران خان کا معائنہ اور علاج اسلام آباد کے شفا انٹرنیشنل اسپتال میں آزاد اور مستند ماہر ڈاکٹروں سے کرایا جائے۔
فل بینچ عدالتی حکم کے مطابق عمران خان سے ہر منگل کو خاندان کے چھ افراد ملاقات کر سکتے ہیں۔ تاہم گزشتہ آٹھ ماہ کے دوران حکام نے مسلسل اس عدالتی حکم کی خلاف ورزی کی ہے۔ میری بہن ڈاکٹر عظمیٰ خان کو صرف چند مرتبہ ملاقات کی اجازت دی گئی، جبکہ ان کی آخری ملاقات 2 دسمبر 2025 کو ہوئی تھی۔
ہم عمران خان پر دباؤ ڈالنے کے لیے حکومت کی جانب سے تنہائی اور بنیادی حقوق سے محرومی کو بطور ہتھیار استعم��ل کرنے کی پالیسی کو مسترد کرتے ہیں۔ آج ہم توقع رکھتے ہیں کہ عدالتی حکم کے مطابق خاندان کے تمام چھ افراد کو عمران خان سے ملاقات کی اجازت دی جائے گی۔
عمران خان کو حقوق سے محروم کرنا محض ایک سیاسی مسئلہ نہیں بلکہ جیل مینول اور ہائی کورٹ کے احکامات کی صریح خلاف ورزی ہے۔
جیل مینول کے مطابق عمران خان درج ذیل حقوق کے حقدار ہیں:
1۔ اپنے بیٹوں سے ہفتہ وار ٹیلیفونک گفتگو۔
2۔ خاندان کے افراد سے ہفتہ وار ملاقات۔
3۔ اپنے وکلاء سے ہفتہ وار ملاقات۔
4۔ کتابوں اور مطالعے کے مواد تک رسائی۔
5۔ ٹیلی ویژن اور اخبارات تک رسائی۔
6۔ مناسب طبی علاج اور باقاعدہ طبی معائنوں تک رسائی۔
7۔ کسی بھی طبی عمل یا طریقۂ علاج سے قبل قریبی اہلِ خانہ کو اطلاع دینا۔
اس کے علاوہ ہائی کورٹ کے فل بینچ کے احکامات کے مطابق:
1۔ عمران خان کو اپنے بیٹوں سے ٹیلیفون پر بات کرنے کی اجازت دی جائے۔
2۔ خاندان کے چھ افراد اور چھ وکلاء ہر منگل کو ان سے ملاقات کر سکتے ہیں۔
3۔ چھ دوست، جن میں پارٹی نمائندگان بھی شامل ہوں، ہر جمعرات کو ان سے ملاقات کر سکتے ہیں۔
ہم مطالبہ کرتے ہیں کہ عمران خان کو بطور قیدی حاصل تمام قانونی حقوق فوری طور پر بحال کیے جائیں، اور خاندان کی موجودگی میں آزاد اور پیشہ ورانہ طبی علاج تک رسائی کو سب سے اعلیٰ اور فوری ترجیح بنایا جائے
مطالبہ جاری رکھیں 🚨
آگر زیادہ نہیں تو کم از کم ایک ٹویٹ عمران خان کی علاج کے لئے ضرور کریں۔ مطالبہ کریں کہ شوکت خانم کے ڈاکٹرز کی موجودگی میں خان صاحب کو فوری شفا انٹرنیشنل منتقل کر دیا جائے۔
سوشل میڈیا اس پر ضرور آواز اُٹھائیں
بریکنگ نیوز 🚨پی ٹی آئی آفیشل کا کمال ماسٹر سٹروک۔ اہم وقت میں عمران خان کی ایران کے معاملے میں کچھ سال قبل عالمی فارم پر کی گئی پیشن گوئی والی ویڈیو اپلوڈ کردی۔ خان نے کہا تھا ایران پر اگر جنگ مسلط ہوئی تو پورے دنیا اس لپیٹ میں آئے گا، آج وہی ہورہا ہے🔥
“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.��

We all know that the reason you are refusing their visas and recommending they travel on NICOP cards (which they don’t have presently) is because that way they will have no British protection if you choose to arrest them on arrival.
