Inspiration - Imran Khan | Set your life on fire, seek those who fan your flames

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

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.

[Jemima Goldsmith @Jemima_Khan]

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.

یہ پیغام آج ہر کسی کے ٹائم لائن پر ہونا چاہیئے 🔥

[Zac Goldsmith @ZacGoldsmith]

Please write to your MP and ask them to lobby Govt to get off the fence and actively object to this cruelty.
You can find your MP’s name and details here: https://t.co/RBGLX5BbOc

Without a meaningful intervention, the Pakistani govt will undoubtedly kill off @ImranKhanPTI simply because they know that for as long as he lives, he is a threat to their power and corruption

جتنی عزت جتنا پیار پاکستانی قوم نے خان کو دیا تاریخ میں شاید ہی کسی دوسرے کو ملا ہو. کبھی سنا ہے ہسپتال آنے کا سن کر لوگ پھول کی پتیاں بچھا کر چھپ جائیں

[Noreen Khanum @noreen_khanum]

تم نے خان صاحب کی تصویر ہٹائی، قوم نے چہرہ دلوں میں بسا لیا۔ تم نے اسکی آواز پر پابندی لگائی، قوم خود اس کی آواز بن گئی۔ تم نے اسکو دیواروں کے پیچھے تنہا کیا، مگر باہر کروڑوں لوگ اس کے ساتھ کھڑے ہوگئے۔ آخر تمہارا جبر تھک گیا، قوم کا یقین نہیں۔ تمہارے اختیار کا غرور ہارا، عمران خان کی استقامت اور عوام کی وفا جیت گئی۔ تم اسے کبھی شکست دے ہی نہیں سکتے تھے، کیونکہ قوم اسے ہارنے کے لیے تیار نہیں تھی۔
اور ہاں خان صاحب آخری گیند تک کھیلنے ک عادی ہیں !

[Khan Saab @Hanii_tales]

We’ll tell the next generation how all of Pakistan stayed awake all night, worried about one man’s health, praying to see him shifted from prison to hospital. But he was never an ordinary man. He was most popular & fearless leader, who sacrificed everything but never surrendered.

آج کی خاموشی، آنے والی نسلوں کی بربادی!

[Noreen Khanum @noreen_khanum]

ہماری فیملی نے تمام پارٹی عہدیداران، سینئر قیادت، ایم این ایز، ایم پی ایز اور سینیٹرز سے اپیل کی ہے کہ وہ اس منگل کو اڈیالہ جیل پہنچیں تاکہ حکومت پر دباؤ ڈالا جا سکے کہ:

1. عمران خان کے وکلاء اور اہلِ خانہ کو فوری ملاقات کی اجازت دی جائے۔

2. عمران خان کو مکمل طبی معائنہ اور علاج کے لیے شفا انٹرنیشنل ہسپتال منتقل کیا جائے، جہاں ماہر ڈاکٹروں، ان کے ذاتی معالج اور اہلِ خانہ کی موجودگی یقینی بنائی جائے۔

3. چیف جسٹس ڈوگر اس بات کو یقینی بنائیں کہ عمران خان اور بشریٰ بی بی کی ضمانت کی درخواستوں کو فوری سماعت کے لیے مقرر کیا جائے تاکہ انہیں اس غیر قانونی قید سے بلا تاخیر رہا کیا جا سکے۔

عمران خان اور بشریٰ بی بی کو تنہائی میں قید رکھا گیا ہے، جو کہ بہت بڑا ظلم ہے اور پاکستانی قوانین اور بین الاقوامی انسانی حقوق کے معیارات کی خلاف ورزی ہے!
