Currently, my Aunties are still abducted. Family and lawyers have received no update on how they are, nor why they are incarcerated. Concerning my father, there is complete silence.
My brother and I have had no contact with him for more than six months. We do not even know the true state of his health.
Meanwhile, thousands of Pakistanis are peacefully taking to the streets to protest against his illegal and politically motivated imprisonment.
However, the people of Pakistan have not given up. No barricade, intimidation or repression can muzzle the people’s demand for justice and their democratic right to be heard.
There can be no lasting peace or stability while their democratic will is suppressed and their chosen leader remains behind bars.
Thousands of Pakistanis are marching for democracy and the release of Imran Khan and other political prisoners.
Their right to protest peacefully must be respected. Pakistan’s leaders must reject violence, uphold the rule of law, and allow free and fair elections. https://t.co/CUsRWG0oqh
The stated logic for radical reform has some merit. Yet many suspect that Field Marshal Munir’s plan is more about cutting Pakistan’s political parties down to size https://t.co/EtxSfWRUwR
Imran Khan’s supporters have begun a march to Islamabad to demand his release from jail after efforts by the Pakistani government to halt the protest failed. https://t.co/VaYdTT2NPo
Everyone protesting in Pakistan should be able to do so safely and without fear. I stand with all those fighting for human rights, democracy, and the rule of law in Pakistan.
Supporters of Pakistan's jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan have set off on a protest march from the country’s northwest to the capital Islamabad demanding his release after talks with the government to call off the demonstration failed.

The right to peacefully protest and make your voice heard is fundamental to any democracy.
The people of Pakistan deserve to have their basic freedoms, human rights, and democratic will respected. America will always stand for freedom, democracy, and the fundamental rights of people everywhere.
Thousands of Pakistanis are marching to demand the release of political prisoners, including former Prime Minister Imran Khan.
I stand with the Pakistani-American community advocating for human rights, free and fair elections, and the right to protest peacefully in Pakistan.
Happy Birthday, Imran Khan.
Our founder, our inspiration, and a symbol of hope for cancer patients all over Pakistan. Love and prayers from all of us at Shaukat Khanum.

Pakistan's finest cricketer and one of the game's all-round greats, he led the country to World Cup glory in 1992 🏆
The legendary Imran Khan turns 74 today
He scored 3807 runs and took 362 wickets in Test cricket!
3709 runs and 182 ODI wickets and was Pakistan's 1992 World Cup winning captain 👏
Happy birthday Imran Khan!
Free Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi.
They’ve been held in inhumane conditions without medical attention, and both have reported significant eye damage. No one should be treated this way.
I stand with the thousands of protestors marching in Pakistan demanding their release. The people of Pakistan deserve free and fair elections.
Democracy only works when people can raise their voices in the streets, and at the ballot box, without fear of reprisal.
The people of Pakistan deserve free and fair elections, and I'm proud to stand with them!
