#HappyFathersDayImranKhan
Thank you for sacrificing so much for your Nation. I don’t know how we will ever pay you back for giving it all for Pakistan.
What’s most endearing is how your sons @Kasim_Khan_1999 & #SulaimanKhan show your values. Kudos to you & @Jemima_Khan!
Happy Father’s Day to the father of the nation. The most selfless man who has inspired an entire generation to fight for the nation’s rights and dignity.

Free Imran Khan! Imran Khan has been left to languish in a Pakistani prison cell for over three years. Today in the House of Commons I presented a petition calling for his release, as well as the release of all political prisoners in Pakistan.
The Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sohail Afridi, along with the entire provincial cabinet, parliamentary leadership, members of National Assembly and members of the Punjab assembly was heading toward Adiala Jail to stand in solidarity with their leader, Imran Khan.
For the past seven months, Imran Khan has been unlawfully subjected to solitary confinement in prison, isolated from his family, denied basic rights, and deliberately cut off from the people of Pakistan. For the last eight months, he has also been denied proper medical treatment despite repeated concerns regarding his health. These actions are not only inhumane, but a blatant violation of constitutional, legal, and fundamental human rights.
After exhausting every democratic and legal avenue, we are left with no choice but to exercise our constitutional right to peaceful assembly in order to raise our voice against this illegitimate, stolen-mandate government and its continued political victimization of Pakistan’s most popular leader.
Our gathering point was nearly one kilometer away from Adiala Jail. Yet despite this peaceful and lawful intention, the police moved to block Imran Khan’s family, the elected representatives of the people, the entire Khyber Pakhtunkhwa cabinet, and the sitting Chief Minister immediately after they exited the motorway en route to Adiala through Rawalpindi. The blocking of an elected Chief Minister and his cabinet is not just an attack on one political party, it is an attack on democracy itself, an insult to the mandate of millions of Pakistanis.
“پولیس ہمارے سامنے لاٹھیاں لے کر کھڑی ہے، اوپر ڈرونز سے نگرانی کی جارہی ہے، جیسے ہم کوئی دہشتگرد ہیں۔ ہم اسی ملک کے شہری ہیں۔ عمران خان سے ملاقات کے اپنے قانونی حق کے لئے جارہے تھے اور ہمیں یہاں روک لیا ہے۔”

Few political figures have lived as many public lives as Imran Khan: playboy cricketer, global celebrity, populist reformer and now perhaps the world’s most recognizable jailed politician. @PostOpinions

My latest for the Washington Post on Imran Khan. The legendary cricketer and politician Pakistan can jail, censor but never erase. @PostOpinions

Imran Khan’s sons #SulaimanKhan and @Kasim_Khan_1999 uncover some facts relating to Imran Khan’s treatment in jail, they call it “very bare minimum with the treatment of his eye” and they also expose the hypocrisy of the regime by posing as external peace brokers but conducting fascism inside Pakistan!
