Sons of Imran Khan, Sulaiman and Kasim Khan, have taken their father's justice fight to the UN. In a strong appeal to the international community, they highlighted grave human rights violations and reported physical mistreatment in arbitrary detention.
The world cannot stay silent as a global leader and voice of millions faces such injustice. They demand an immediate end to the isolation and mistreatment of the world's most popular leader.

"If we allow one of our own to be disappeared and treated with such callousness, we are failing in our duty to the soul of the game"
Greg Chappell on what compelled him to rally a group of former international captains in support of Imran Khan
#Budget2025 To understand Pakistan’s economic situation, let's take a look at our budget. (FY23 actuals)
To make things simple, imagine our budget is Rs100.
Where do we get Rs100 from, and where do we spend it?🧵
On one side was the deep state, absurd verdicts from the courts, relentless police brutality, the re-laundered class of 1985, and their boomer cheerleaders in the press.
On the other was some kid voting for baingan.
Piece today, on the big upset:

Shutting down of mobile services throughout the voting period in the entire country today had more to do with political engineering and less with security #Election2024
The scale and shamelessness with which the elections are being rigged wouldn't be needed if:
Nawaz Sharif was truly popular or IK was truly "selected".
Elections are very complex exercise. But Pakistan’s current election can be explained in one line - every clause of election laws are being blatantly violated to benefit one party. Still outcome could not be guaranteed. So conspiracy is hatched to postpone polling.
⚠️ Confirmed: Live metrics show a nation-scale disruption to social media platforms across #Pakistan, including X/Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube; the incident comes as persecuted former PM Imran Khan's party, PTI, launches its election fundraising telethon
A couple of days of Pakistan - a summary:
Just think of what has happened in Pakistan just in the last couple of days. Remember, this after 335 days of no govt in Punjab, 331 days in KP, & 127 days in the rest of Pakistan.
1. ECP applies a yardstick to PTI intra-party elections that it hasn't applied to anyone else. When the High Court intervenes, ANP and JUIF launch an attack on the PHC judges.
2. The cipher case of former PM Imran Khan and FM Shah Mahmood Qureshi, ordered to be run as an open trial, is run in defiance of orders, and then converted to an in-camera trial, despite the fact that the prosecution lies about the framing of charges according to the families.
3. An LHC decision to suspend the notification of biased civil servants as Returning Officers, rather than being applauded and implemented, triggers a rumour of election delays with the parties running away from elections saying it is PTI's fault.
4. The Practice and Procedure Bill driven dual Supreme Court system suspends a 5-0 decision on military trials on day 1, with one of the judges questioning where the Constitutional provisions on fundamental and Human Rights will take us. This amidst the most major violation of human rights in the country in living memory.
5. A leading lawyer affiliated with PTI is arrested outside LHC in a shocking manner.
6. Meanwhile, former PM Nawaz Sharif obtains yet another reversal of a conviction, and continues to receive special privilege and protocol.
7. The Caretaker PM challenged Quaid e Azam Jinnah's position on Israel, as part of his daily foot in mouth campaign. And one of his ministers in Baluchistan suggests bases be offered to the US.
8. Supreme Court judges write snarky letters to each other.
9. And after 200+ days, women in Lahore jail who are political prisoners continue to languish in jail without bail, without a single conviction, and where bail is given, they are lugged around the country to keep them in jail.
In the background, the entire world, and all of the media, know of the unprecedented campaign of political engineering and the crackdown against PTI. Repeat arrests; enforced disappearances; forced political conversions; denial of permission for political activity; family arrests as part of collective punishment campaigns. All happening every day.
The entire world also knows of the fact that PTI is statistically the most popular party and poised to win elections by a landslide. Despite being driven underground for over 7 months.
And this is all happening in a country where the police are dying daily in militant attacks, a horrendous attack on our brave soldiers and police in DI Khan just claimed 23 precious lives, and the country still has unprecedented inflation, less than two months of suppressed import cover, and a dependency on IMF bailouts to be solvent.
Is all this worth it? Are our problems not more important than whatever this campaign is meant to achieve? How long will it take to heal from this?
We didn't start the fire. But 76 years later, isn't it time to extinguish it?
I am sad at his decision. Imran Khan & PTI attracted professionals & educated individuals to take part in active politics. Forcing ppl like Asad to quit politics whilst promoting the likes of Sharjeel Memons, Tessoris, Rana Sanas wont do Pakistan any good & will also not work.
