...if the results don't go in a direction that the neo-liberal class likes. I guess that completely justified how East and West Pakistan broke apart after we denied Mujib ur Rehman a majority. Paracha has not been very subtle in being a propagandist for the regime. /2

[The Watchman @TheWatchman_2]

Nadeem F Paracha, who has written an article calling Imran Khan's support a myth, spoke at KLF in 2024, a couple of days after elections that PTI won despite the rigging. In his talk he infered that the state (the army) has the right to intervene in elections.../1

@TheWatchmen_1 Bloody hypocrite

These bastards have no principle stance

Just u through the bone 🍖 & see the circus

[Hasham Khan @RealHashamKhan]

This guy and many others never had any principle position. They hated Zia because he didn't suit their 'tastes' and these so called liberals portrayed themselves as anti-establishment. The same people were happy with musharaf for he was 'liberal' to them.

They always chose comfort and a system with an average guy thinks of them as some kind of literati

بی بی کرن ناز صاحبہ پہلی بات تو یہ مجھے بتائیے کہ 22 سال بعد اپ کو یہ کیسے یاد اگیا کہ مولانا صاحب نے یہ انڈیا میں جا کر بولا تھا کیا اپ لوگ 22 سال سے سوئے ہوئے تھے مجھے بھی پتہ ہے کہ یہ سوالات واٹس ایپ کے ذریعے کہاں سے اتے ہیں مجھے بھی کسی وقت میں یہ کہا گیا تھا کہ اگر اپ نے ایم پی اے بننا ہے تو یہ سوالات ہیں اور یہ ان کے جوابات ہیں اور یہ پروگرام کا نام ہے اور اپ نے اس پروگرام میں جا کر یہ جوابات دینے ہیں میں اس سب کو بھگتا ہوا ہوں

ایک بات میں اپ کے پروگرام میں یہ کہنا چاہتا ہوں کہ حذیفہ رحمان صاحب ہر پروگرام میں مجھے نام سے پکارنے کی کوشش کرتے ہیں میں جمیعت علماء اسلام کا ترجمان ہوں اگر اپ میری ذات کے نام سے بات کریں گے تو پھر میں اپ کا ذکر ڈاکٹر عبدالرحمن کی کہانی سے شروع کروں گا اور باقی اپ سمجھ گئے ہوں گے میں اس سے زیادہ اور کچھ نہیں بولوں گا

Day 40.

On 28 October, my aunt @Noreen_KhanPK was moved from Kot Lakhpat Jail to the Punjab Institute of Cardiology. No one told the family.

Today she was moved back to jail. Again, no one told us.

We don’t know why she was taken to a cardiac hospital.
We don’t know what tests were done.
No family consent was sought.
We don’t know how much danger she is in.

What we do know: there were armed police every few feet at PIC.
What are they so afraid of?

My mother @DrUzma_KhanPK and my aunts @Aleema_KhanPK and @Noreen_KhanPK have been held in Kot Lakhpat Jail since 21 September under Section 3 of the Punjab Maintenance of Public Order Ordinance, 1960. No charge. No trial.
Their only “crime” is standing up for their brother, @ImranKhanPTI.
@HRCP87 has condemned the misuse of the MPO against political workers before. We ask you to speak now.

Charge them or release them.

It’s beyond imagination that a state would engage in such shameless behaviour. They’ve incarcerated former Prime Minister and his wife on charges related to her menstrual periods. Recently, they invaded his sister’s houses and relocated them to unknown locations without any charges. To top it off, the province’s only legitimate and democratically elected Chief Minister and Speaker, along with several of his ministers, have been abducted by the ISI and are still missing.

This is something unseen and truly beyond banana republic levels. Hats off to @UN officials for having the courage to meet with officials from such a state.

ANATOMY OF OPPRESSION | No. 1
The tactic: imprison the leader

Remove the person around whom opposition gathers, and the movement is meant to scatter.

South Korea, August 1973. Opposition leader Kim Dae-jung is abducted from a Tokyo hotel by his own country's intelligence agency, bound, blindfolded and taken to sea with weights tied to his body. Intervention from Washington and Tokyo saves his life. Five days later he is home – under house arrest.

What followed was 14 years of the same treatment, in rotation:
– 1976: imprisoned for leading a declaration calling for democracy. Nearly three years behind bars, then house arrest
– 1980: arrested again after a new military takeover, and sentenced to death for sedition
– 1981–82: sentence commuted under international pressure, then pushed into exile in the US
– 1985: returns home, is arrested at the airport, and placed straight back under house arrest

Why it works – for a while:
– The charge is framed as national security, not politics
– A courtroom gives persecution the appearance of law
– Rotating prison, house arrest and exile keeps the leader permanently out of reach of his people

Why it failed:
– Human rights groups and foreign governments never stopped campaigning
– Each new arrest made him a bigger symbol of everything the regime denied
– In 1987, mass protests forced the military-backed government to concede direct presidential elections

He lost that first election when the opposition split its vote. He ran again, and again.

In December 1997, the man once sentenced to death was elected President of South Korea. In 2000, he received the Nobel Peace Prize.

A prison can hold a man. It has never held an idea for long.

Pakistan's envoy in Geneva briefed NGOs this week on "progress in strengthening national human rights laws."
Here is what the briefing appears to have left out.
My uncle @ImranKhanPTI has been in prison since August 2023. In 2024 the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention found his detention arbitrary and called for his immediate release. That has not happened.
My mother @DrUzma_KhanPK and her sisters @Aleema_KhanPK and @Noreen_KhanPK were detained - without any charges - ahead of a planned protest in September and have now been held for more than 40 days. Thousands of party workers have been arrested since 2023, and civilians have been tried in military courts.
@UN_HRC – that finding came from your own Working Group. Resolution 60/251 requires Council members to uphold the highest standards in the promotion and protection of human rights. A member state is ignoring your own experts while briefing NGOs on its progress.
What will the Council do about it?

Mirza Ghalib (1797–1869):

رنج سے خوگر ہوا انساں تو مٹ جاتا ہے رنج
مشکلیں مجھ پر پڑیں اتنی کہ آساں ہو گئیں

Ranj se khugar hua insan to mit jaata hai ranj
Mushkilein mujh par padin itni ke aasan ho gayin

"Once a man is hardened to pain, the pain is gone.
So many hardships fell on me that they became easy."

30 April 1977, Buenos Aires. A handful of mothers whose children had been taken by Argentina's military junta gathered in the Plaza de Mayo to ask one question: where are they?

Gatherings of more than three people were banned, so they walked in pairs, arm in arm. They came back every Thursday. The junta called them "las locas" – the madwomen. That December, one of their founders, Azucena Villaflor, was abducted and never came home.

They kept walking. In 1983 the junta fell. In 1985 its leaders stood trial.

For three years, ever since their brother @ImranKhanPTI was jailed, my mother @DrUzma_KhanPK and my aunts @Aleema_KhanPK and @Noreen_KhanPK went to Adiala jail every Tuesday to ask to see him. Since 21 September they have been held themselves, without charge.

The generals in Buenos Aires underestimated women who kept showing up. The generals in Pakistan keep underestimating Pakistani women.

Charge them or release them.

Day 41.

My mother @DrUzma_KhanPK and my aunts @Aleema_KhanPK and @Noreen_KhanPK have been held in Kot Lakhpat Jail since 21 September under Section 3 of the Punjab Maintenance of Public Order Ordinance, 1960. No charge. No trial.

Yesterday my father @AhadMKhan spoke to the media in Lahore and briefed members of the Punjab Assembly. What he told them:

– All three sisters are being held in solitary confinement.
– @Noreen_KhanPK, who is in her seventies, had no heart problems before jail. This week she spent two days at the Punjab Institute of Cardiology. No one told the family.
– For three years they carried their brother's words out of Adiala to the people. He believes that is why they are inside.

His question: "If these women did not break, how will Khan break?"

Charge them or release them.

Three women in their seventies have been in a Lahore jail since 21 September 2026. No charge. No trial.

One of them is my mother, @DrUzma_KhanPK. The others are her sisters, @Aleema_KhanPK and @Noreen_KhanPK. Their brother, former Prime Minister @ImranKhanPTI, has been in prison since August 2023.

The facts:

– The sisters are held in Kot Lakhpat Jail under Section 3 of the Punjab Maintenance of Public Order Ordinance, 1960, which allows officials to detain a person to prevent a threat to public order, without charge or trial. Their orders run 30 days at a time and can be renewed.
– The Punjab home secretary's report to the Lahore High Court says they were detained ahead of PTI's planned protests.
– Their detention was extended on 7 October. The family learned of it in court on 26 October.
– On 28 October, @Noreen_KhanPK was moved to the Punjab Institute of Cardiology. The family was not told.
– For three years, they visited their brother at Adiala jail every Tuesday and carried his words to the public. Now they are held themselves.
– In 2024, the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention found Imran Khan's detention arbitrary and called for his immediate release. He remains in prison.

Release Imran Khan. Release his sisters.
