محسن نقوی کہتے ہیں کہ پی ٹی آئی کو اسلام آباد ہائی کورٹ کے حکم کی خلاف ورزی نہیں کرنے دیں گے۔۔ لیکن عمران خان کی شفا منتقلی کے سپریم کورٹ کے حکم نامے کی اگلے ہی روز خلاف ورزی۔ اور عمران خان کی ملاقاتوں پر مسلسل پابندی کیا عدالتی احکامات کی خلاف ورزی ہے یا نہیں؟
Public resources should be used responsibly, but can someone help me find a single tweet from Mr Naqvi when CM Punjab Maryam Nawaz took the govt’s Gulfstream G500 from Lahore to London for a family event? Must’ve been some very important official business along the way, possibly related to those billions of dollars in investment we were supposed to bring into the country.
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.
اب چونکہ عمران خان کی صحت کو لیکر دباؤ زرا زیادہ ہوگیا تھا اور فوج کے اثاثے مشکل میں آگئے تھے تو یہ ٹھنڈی والی ہوائیں چلانا پڑ گئی ہیں تاکہ یوتھیوں کو ٹرک کی بتی کے پیچھے لگایا جاسکے۔ آپ آنے والے گھنٹوں میں سرد ہواؤں میں شدت دیکھیں گے۔
🚨یہ سسٹم اُس دِن ہی تباہ ہو گیا تھا جب پاکستانی عدلیہ ائیر پورٹ پر پہنچی تھی ایک بگھوڑے کی واپسی پر انگوٹھے لگوائے کے لیئے۔۔۔!!
پاکستان کے نظام انصاف اور عدالتی بربادی کیلئے یہ ایک تصویر کافی ہے۔💔😡
