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

Pakistan: “A lion trapped in a cage: Imran Khan’s ongoing solitary confinement is an inhuman cruelty. The international order has remained conspicuously silent about Khan’s ordeal, but a coalition of cricket captains remains hopeful." https://t.co/h8kB2WaqzV

[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.

Imran Khan is being tortured in jail, his sister has claimed.

“He told me he is being subjected to torture. His one eye was blindfolded. He was repeatedly saying they are torturing me,” said Dr Uzma Khan.

“Our father has lost 80% of his vision. He’d been complaining about his eye for months but was getting ignored. It’s only now been treated later then it should have been. It’s not in good condition. We have no visibility into why it’s occurred. They’ve given us no medical reports. Everything is covered up.” @Kasim_Khan_1999 and Sulaiman Khan speak to @Channel4News.

All these relationships were “deep and personal”
Pakistan’s dictators changed.. America’s interests didn’t and neither did the average Pakistanis’ life!!

Apple has removed Lebanese village names in Southern Lebanon.

As Israel invades, they are already setting the state to justify occupation.

I’ve never seen something like this.

[Mel @Villgecrazylady]

I literally had to go see this for myself. Sure enough. Apple Maps has removed almost every town in Lebanon from the map while keeping every podunk town in Israel and Syria clearly marked.

[Ian Carroll @IanCarrollShow]

Apple actively supporting war crimes, genocide, and ethnic cleansing

[Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) @adamscochran]

I didn’t know much about the Pakistani media before today, but it seems there are two camps:

* Those who recite the facts that previously happened in an objective summary

* 99% who seem just eager to praise Pakistan and saying “big announcement coming…” every 20 minutes

The most reliable news out of Pakistan has basically been Al-Jazeera - a sentence I never thought I’d say a decade ago.

We can’t trust Axios or Fox.

WSJ and NYT aren’t giving breaking updates.

The local media has too much government interference apparently.

Tasmin has been more transparent but is government aligned Iranian source so you can’t fully take that at face value.

Truly wild how far the standards globally on journalism have fallen, and I hope it’s something that can be repaired.

[EV Guy @TeslaAndDoge]

Look at the number of solar panels on roofs. Pakistan has had a revolution in solar energy in past decade.

If Pakistan is such a peaceful country they should release Imran Khan immediately peace should come from home first

Retweet if you believe Netanyahu is a war criminal.

Why are Jews more angry at Palestinians, muslims and Arabs in the middle East than they are at Germans?

[Iran Military News ☫ 🎒 @IranMilitaryEN]

In yet another attempt to silence Iranian accounts, X has removed our blue checkmark, limiting our reach and visibility.

[Imran Khan @ImranKhanPTI]

I have never endorsed vandalism in my 28 years of struggle. The CCTV footage from the scenes of violence contain the proof of our innocence. Any member of PTI who is found to be involved in the May 9th incidents should be held accountable.

The illicit regime is panicking and using every undemocratic ploy to suppress PTI. All parties are holding rallies, but we are not allowed to do so. We will hold a massive rally in Swabi on August 5th. And the next one will be in Islamabad. The people should get ready!

No child should endure the struggles that these Palestinian children do.

Petrol Price increases since war started :

India : 0%
Bangladesh: 5%
Sri Lanka : 22%
Afghanistan: 2%
And
Pakistan: 192 %

Why ?
