Prime Minister of Pakistan @CMShehbaz going to @UN for representing Pakistan. A journalist freind from New York asked me that why your government arrested three sisters of @ImranKhanPTI under a black law 3 MPO just days before the speech of Prime Minister in UN? How can he represent the Islamic Republic of Pakistan where government arresting elderly women without any criminal cases?

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.

"The Pakistani establishment have yet to alleviate any of our father’s conditions or listen to any court orders, such as a phone call at the very least. We want a heath checkup and a report we can see. An unbiased report through which we can verify his conditions." - @Kasim_Khan_1999

Unlike Ed Sheeran, I take sides. More than 50 years ago I picked the Palestinian side. I believed then and ever since that Palestine was the moral centre of humanity, the crime against them by European colonists so egregious, the conspiracy of complicity by western countries so dark that it tore pieces of my heart. If elected back to parliament for the eighth time, or not, I will continue to give voice to their cause.

Tens of thousands of children killed and many more injured for life with amputations and orphaned.

Yet America’s elected government leaders keep sending money and military support.

The American Christian church is largely silent. On that day, I don’t think that will go well.

“They’re clearly hoping to kill him in there. They want to silence him as secretly as possible and just slowly make him fade into nothing. That’s a very difficult thing to do with the most popular person in Pakistan right now.

Their strategy, whenever we speak, is to let everything fizzle out and then impose more brutal restrictions that make it even harder for him to survive.” - @Kasim_Khan_1999 in an interview with the @Telegraph.

پاکستان میں اس وقت ملٹری ڈکٹیٹر شپ ہے، سب کچھ ان کے کنٹرول میں ہے، میرے والد جو پاکستان میں سب سے مشہور بندے ہیں ان کو ٹارچر کیا جا سکتا ہے تو عام آدمی کے ساتھ یہ کیا کرتے ہوں گے؟ اگر کوئی اس رجیم کے خلاف احتجاج کرتا ہے تو اس کو گولیاں ماری جاتی ہیں۔ قاسم خان

Thank you, Michael Atherton
@Athersmike , for using your voice to stand up for Imran Khan’s health and human rights. Pakistanis will never forget this. A few military-backed stooges may attack you online, but they are a tiny, desperate minority — millions of Pakistanis respect and appreciate you for having the courage to speak the truth.

[Imran Riaz Khan @ImranRiazKhan]

Gen sb many children died in drone attacks in tribal areas, many sons forcefully disappeared by agencies across the country, many innocent unarmed civilians brutally killed by security forces but you never expressed this kind of feelings. Are they children of a lesser God.

#URGENT The protests in the United States have intensified. Today, hundreds of thousands of Americans took to the streets to demand an end to funding for Israel, a development that has clearly left Trump sleepless, as evidenced in this recording. Help us spread it, so they don't remove it from X.

He is 73 years old. He will not make a deal but for that nobody has the right to risk his life via solitary confinement and extreme violations of Human Rights!

[Moeed Pirzada @MoeedNj]

Tragically True!

#URGENTE Las protestas en Estados Unidos se han intensifican. Hoy, cientos de miles de estadounidenses tomaron las calles para exigir el fin del financiamiento a Israel, un desarrollo que claramente ha dejado a Trump sin dormir, como se evidencia en esta grabación. Ayúdanos a difundir, que no lo eliminen de X.

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.
