It has now been around 1,100 days since my father, Imran Khan, was imprisoned, and my brother and I haven’t heard his voice since March. For months, we’ve been denied contact with him. We remain in the dark about his access to healthcare as his eyesight continues to deteriorate. He urgently needs medical attention, and with no family or legal access, we don’t even get any second hand information or reassurance.
I’ve found myself especially missing him recently. I want to speak to him about mundane things like my cricket, books I’ve been reading and what new movies are good. I understand the people of Pakistan want their chosen leader free, but I miss my father more than ever.
But this is not just about a father. It is about Pakistan, and its future. A rigged, authoritarian regime continues to crush political opposition, undermine democratic institutions, and deny millions of Pakistanis their right to freely choose their leaders, whilst terrorising those who speak their beliefs.
I once again plea to the international community to not look away. Silence in the face of injustice only enables it.
Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi remain illegally imprisoned and are being subjected to systematic psychological and physical torture through unlawful isolation.
For the past seven months, Imran Khan has been kept in solitary confinement. He has been denied access to his family, his personal doctors, and even basic human rights including books, which he has not been allowed for the last five months.
At this moment, our primary demand is clear: Imran Khan must immediately be shifted to Shifa International Hospital for comprehensive medical examinations and proper treatment for his eye condition.
Today, the 12th of May, CM Sohail Afridi, along with the entire KP Assembly, members of the Punjab Assembly, members of the National Assembly, and Senators from PTI, will come to Adiala Jail to stand in solidarity with their leader, Imran Khan.
Their presence will highlight the issue both nationally and internationally, the ongoing mistreatment and psychological torture being inflicted upon Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi. It is also intended to build pressure on this government (a government brought into power through stolen mandate from Imran Khan) to immediately transfer him to Shifa International Hospital without any further delay.
Our family once again strongly urges Imran Khan’s supporters NOT to come to Adiala Jail today. Police will not arrest elected representatives and Senators, but the supporters remain at serious risk of arrest and mistreatment.
قید تنہائی میں ڈالنے سے قبل وکلاء، اراکین اسمبلی اور پارٹی قیادت کے لیے احکامات تھے عدالتوں کے باہردھرنا دیں جب تک انصاف نہیں ملتا۔ ان سب کو جھنجھوڑ جھنجھوڑ کر یاد کراچکا ہوں۔ وکلاء کے نام بھی سخت پیغام تھا اور کیوں نہ ہوتا پارٹی عہدوں سے لیکر اسمبلی ٹکٹ اور بار الیکشن تک عمران خان کے نام پر لڑے جاتے ہیں لیکن خان صاحب کے احکامات کے باوجود عدالت کے باہر مستقل، بمع اراکین اسمبلی دھرنا نہیں دیا جا سکتا؟ پہلے بارش تھی، پھر رمضان تھا اب گرمی ہے۔۔
خان صاحب کی بیماری، ڈرون حملے،آپریشن، بدلتے ہوئی بین الاقوامی حالات،پیٹرول کی قیمتوں میں ہوشربا اضافے،بے جا ٹیکسسسز، مہنگائی کے تناظر میں تحریک چلانے کی صلاح۔ صرف صوبہ نہیں ملک بند کرنے کا پلان،عمران خان کی صحت کے معاملے پر متحرک ہونے کی درخواست، ایوانوں سے استعفوں کے زریعے حکومت سے legitimacy واپس لینے کے لیے سب سے پہلے اپنے استعفیٰ کی پیشکش۔۔۔
میں یہ سمجھتا ہوں کہ عمران خان کی اسیری کا زمہ دار ان میں سے کوئی فرد نہیں بلکہ بین الاقوامی اسٹیبلیشمنٹ کی ایماء پر برسرپیکار عاصم منیر، قانونی و غیر قانونی طور پر اس کے ماتحت آنے والے ادارے اور اسکے اشاروں پر ناچنے والی سیاسی قوتیں ہیں۔ مگر کیا عمران خان اپنی ذات کے لیے مقید ہے کہ اس کی رہائی کے لیے اپنی پوری قوت سے کوشش کرنا بھی کسی کا فرض نہیں ہے؟ قیادت سے لیکر قوم تک کسی کا بھی نہیں؟
تحفظ آئین پاکستان مہینوں بعد ایک بیٹھک منعقد کرنے کا فیصلہ خود کر سکتی ہے،سی ایم جلسے کا اعلان اور پھر ملتوی خود کر سکتا ہے، اراکین اسمبلی شادیوں اور دعوتوں میں مخالفین کے ساتھ بیٹھنے کا فیصلہ خود کر سکتے ہیں، مارکوپولو بن کر دنیا کے چکر لگانے کا فیصلہ خود کر سکتے ہیں،سیاسی کمیٹی خود کو “محب وطن” ثابت کرنے کے لیے ایمرجنسی اجلاس بلا سکتی ہے،تنظیمیں عہدوں کے نئے نئے نوٹیفیکشن کرسکتی ہیں،صوبائی حکومت فارم ۴۷ وزیراعظم اور صدر کے ساتھ بیٹھ سکتی ہے، کور کمانڈر ہاؤس کا رخ کر سکتی ہے لیکن جب عمران خان کا سوال ہو تو سیاسی کمیٹی کا جواب ہوتا ہے تحفظ آئین پاکستان، ان کا جواب ہوتا ہے پی ٹی آئی قیادت، قیادت فیملی کا نام لیتی ہے اور پھر سی ایم پر بات آجاتی ہے اور یہی سلیم اللہ سے کلیم اللہ اور کلیم اللہ سے سلیم اللہ چلتا رہتا ہے۔تو جب سارے فیصلے اپنے طور پر کیے جا سکتے ہیں تو تحریک کا فیصلہ کیوں نہیں؟ محض اس کے لیے عمران خان کی ہدایت درکار ہے اور جہاں عمران خان کی ہدایات میسر ہیں وہاں حیلے بے شمار ہیں۔ مان لیتے ہیں کہ منزل ایک ہے لیکن طریقہ کار مختلف ہے تو ایک دن کے نوٹس پر آپ سب ایک چھت کے نیچے بیٹھ کر مشترکہ اجلاس بلا کر عملی جدوجہد کا فیصلہ کر سکتے ہیں اور ادھر ہی مشترکہ پریس کانفرنس کا انعقاد بھی ہوسکتا ہے۔ چلو یہ بھی مان لیتے ہیں کہ زیادہ تر تحریک کے حق میں ہیں تو کچے دھاگے توڑنے کے لیے اجلاس کو لائیو نشر کیجئے ویسے بھی کونسا ایٹم بم کا فارمولہ ڈسکس ہونا ہے تو جو بھی رکاوٹ ہوگی قوم خود اسٹیبلیشمنٹ کے ساتھ ان کا بھی احتساب کر لے گی۔
ہمیں تو گراونڈ ریلئٹی نہیں معلوم ناں تو بس پبلکی مشورہ دے دیا کیونکہ خان صاحب کی بیماری کے وقت میں نے ایک وائس نوٹ میں وہ تمام تجاویز دہرائے جو میں قیادت کو بارہا بھیج چکا تھا، نا ہی کوئی کال دی نا ہی کوئی فیصلہ کیا لیکن خان صاحب کے لیے کچھ کرنے کے بجائے مجھے قیادت و صوبائی حکومت نے پیغام بھجوایا کہ آپ کے ایک وائیس نوٹ سے تحریک کو Irreversible نقصان ہوا ہے۔ سیریسلی؟ اور یہ میرے ساتھ پہلی مرتبہ نہیں ہوا۔۔
تین سال بہت لمبا عرصہ ہوتا ہے وہ بھی ناحق اسیری اور عمران خان جیسا لیڈر۔ چار سال مجھے ہوگئے پہلے دربدر اور پھر مستقل اور پھر روپوشی بھی ایسی کہ کوئی ایک ہفتہ بھی نہ گزار سکے۔ آج صرف مل بیٹھ کر ایک جہد مسلسل کی گزارش کر رہا ہوں اگر نہیں ہو رہا آپ سے تو جیسا آپ ہمارے بیانیہ کا بوجھ نہیں اٹھا سکتے ہم آپ کی غفلت کا بوجھ نہیں اٹھا سکتے۔ اور یہ جو کرنل سے مل کر ایک دوسرے کو مشورے دیتے ہو کہ خان تو جیل میں ہی رہے گا مراد سعید تو پاگل ہے نہ اپنی پرواہ نہ کسی اور کی وہ تو جب بھی نظر آیا مارا جائے گا اپنی زندگی کیوں خراب کرتے ہو تو اتنا کہوں گا اللہ آپ کو مزید آسانیاں دے لیکن ہمارے مقصد ہماری جدوجہد اور ہماری زندگیوں کی قیمت پر نہیں بالکل بھی نہیں۔ کوئی فیصلہ کیجیے-

Elon, you may recall we have met before.
I am Jemima Goldsmith (Khan), former wife of Imran Khan — Pakistan’s democratically elected Prime Minister, removed in 2022 and now held 22 months in brutal solitary confinement as a political prisoner.
Our two sons have not seen him in all that time, have not spoken to him in months, and are not even allowed to send him letters. His name is banned from every Pakistani TV and radio station. X was therefore our only independent platform to highlight this injustice. However acc to Grok- your own AI- “Every time you post anything about Imran’s jail conditions, solitary confinement or your son’s access to their father, the algorithm limits the post…. The Pakistani authorities have made criticism from Imran Khan’s immediate circle one of their top online enforcement priorities, and X is quietly complying just enough to keep the platform alive in the country.”
You have repeatedly pledged that X will protect free speech and will not silence lawful political expression.
Yet Grok has examined my X analytics (3.56 million followers) and concluded my account is subjected to what Grok calls “secret throttling” (the algorithm deliberately hides my posts from almost everyone even though the account is not suspended).
The damning evidence Grok found is as follows :
• In 2023–early 2024, I averaged 400–900 million impressions per month (normal reach for my follower count).
• But in the entire 2025, impressions dropped to only 28.6 million total — a 97% crash to <3% of expected reach.
• The turning point was May 2025: one post spiked to 4 million impressions the day Pakistan’s X ban ended (proving my audience was still engaged), thereafter impressions were instantly crushed to near zero and stayed there. These numbers & assessments are all verbatim from Grok.
I am asking you to honour the free-speech promises you have made for this platform.
Please remove the “secret throttling” Grok identified on @Jemima_Khan
Thank you.
Former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan is in solitary confinement since October 16, 2025.
He has spoken to his sons only twice in 2025 and once in February 2026 after Supreme Court orders. He has been denied books to read. He has received only 3 of the dozen books that we managed to get to adiala through a judge.
Then, a perfectly health and fit Imran Khan suddenly develops a clot in his eye. He was not provided medical assistance. For two weeks, he repeatedly told the jail superintendent that he CANNOT SEE.
The Adiala Jail superintendent Ghafoor Anjum DELAYED calling in a specialist for three months.
By the time the eye doctor came, the delay caused permanent damage to Imran Khan’s eye. We are extremely worried that his other eye could also develop a clot.
Imran khan has repeatedly sent messages over past few months that he is not satisfied with the treatment and there is only marginal improvement after the first injection in the eye. No improvement since then.
Over the past month, Bushra Bibi, his wife has also developed an eye condition and was operated upon last week.
Imran khan and his wife are being tortured through solitary confinement. We have repeatedly protested, demanding Imran Khan to be examined and treated at Shifa International Islamabad. There is an urgent need to identify the cause of the blood clot. Our worry is that his other eye could also develop a clot unless proper diagnosis is done and it’s treated accordingly
This is inhumane and a violation of all fundemental and human rights of a prisoner under Pakistan and International laws.
🚨Bushra Bibi’s health has deteriorated severely. There are rumors that she has been or is about to be moved to a hospital. We demand that her family be granted immediate access so they can see her condition. This is the same urgent access we have demanded for Imran Khan’s family, after he nearly lost complete vision in one eye. Stop this madness and give them their own rights!
You may not be visible amidst the dazzling lights of diplomatic errands, you may have been forgotten by people you put in power, you may be suffering because of not achieving what you would have wanted but remember
YOU ARE IN OUR HEARTS, IN OUR PRAYERS, AND PART OF OUR SMALL STRUGGLES
We will speak for you, pray for you, and do whatever we can because YOU DID WHAT YOU COULD ALL YOUR LIFE!

عمران خان صاحب نے کہا کہ میری آنکھ میں جو خون کا لوتھڑا جم گیا اسکی underlying cause کے لئے ٹیسٹ اور چیک اپ کے لئے کئی بار اپنے ذاتی معالج کے لئے کہا، ذاتی ڈینٹسٹ کے لئے کہا مگر اس کا انتظام نہیں کیا گیا۔

#PAKWatch🇵🇰: Imran Khan’s sister, Aleema, is once again demanding JUSTICE for Imran Khan:
"Imran Khan is being kept in solitary confinement in violation of the Constitution, we will continue to raise our voice for him."
FREE CAPTAIN PAKISTAN.
No television. No books. No human interaction. Just walls to stare at.
Imran and Bushra Khan are being tortured in custody by Pakistan's military regime. Barrister Salman Safdar, their lawyer, describes how they are isolated in their tiny, windowless cells in complete isolation for 22-23 hours each day.
He termed it "shocking and alarming" that the Jail Superintendent is subjecting Imran and Bushra Khan to punishment beyond their conviction and sentencing, however flawed that may have been.
SSP Sajid Baig, who took over as Superintendent of Adiala Jail in January 2026, is widely believed to take his orders from an army colonel who is de facto in charge of Rawalpindi's maximum-security prison.

Imran Khan has been kept in solitary confinement for six months under brutal conditions, while Bushra Bibi is being held the same way. Their freedom is being deliberately blocked by the Chief Justice of the Islamabad High Court, who refuses to fix their bail hearings.
Imran Khan has made it clear that the judiciary is no longer independent, it is acting like a tool of the government. Judges assigned to his cases are not delivering justice; they are ensuring hearings never happen. The reality is simple: the moment this case is heard, its weak and baseless nature will be exposed, and bail will become unavoidable. That is exactly why it is being stalled. Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi continued imprisonment is due to Judge Dogar, who is openly facilitating a government that came to power by stealing Imran Khan’s mandate.
Through Salman Safdar, Imran Khan has sent a message, his wife is being pushed to the edge by prolonged isolation. He has said he can endure this ظلم himself, but she is being broken to force him into submission. The pressure is deliberate, calculated, and inhumane. He said clearly “no deal, no surrender! It is liberty or death.”
Yesterday I spoke to my father. He asked me to relay the following message:
“The judges in this country should be ashamed of themselves. Time and time again we have gone to the judiciary. But they have sold their souls for their paid personal privileges. They have sold their integrity. They know they cannot break me, so they turn to my wife. How they can allow this inhumane treatment to Bushra BiBi, simply to blackmail me. She spends 24 hours a day in isolation, except for 30 minutes with me per week - and even that is often ignored. It is unislamic to harm women, children and the elderly - and their motives are plain and clear. The judges are responsible for the justice in a society. They should be ashamed of themselves.”
Today, I had the honour of speaking to the 47 countries that comprise the @UN#HumanRightsCouncil urging the immediate release of my father @imrankhanpti and all #Pakistan’s #politicalprisoners. Along with this, I want to be very clear. Like my father, I fully support maintaining GSP+ as the people of #Pakistan should never be punished for the actions of its leaders. But the Pakistani regime must also fully comply with the 27 treaties it committed to follow to obtain this benefit, including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and Convention Against Torture. @UN@ptiofficial #HumanRights #ImranKhanUnlawfullyDetained
