We are deeply alarmed by the disturbing reports of #HussamAbuSafiya being subjected to continued beatings, deliberate sleep deprivation, and threats against divulging his detention conditions while in Israeli custody.
Israeli authorities must immediately and unconditionally release Dr. Abu Safiya and all Palestinians arbitrary detained. Pending Dr. Hussam’s release, the Israeli Prison Service must ensure he is fully protected from abuse, granted urgent adequate and independent medical care and allowed immediate visitation by independent monitors.
Act now: https://t.co/MJ9DKJSpXg

In a functioning democracy, these police would be immediately stood down, and charged.
And their Commander and Minister hauled before parliament to explain.
And an audit of all available body-cam and other footage.
And a forensic investigation into the chain of command that apparently encouraged this brutal police behaviour.
👉 NSW Police Officer, the state’s finest:
“I fucking pumped that cunt.
“And then I punched him in the head when he was down.”
“I saw that,” a female Police colleague responds, laughing.

Sila Abu Karim, 6, was severely injured by shrapnel in Al-Maghazi Camp, central Gaza, leaving her with a serious spinal injury and unable to sit or stand normally.
She urgently needs medical treatment outside Gaza.

Breaking: Three-year-old Taim Saed Hamdan was executed by Israel moments ago in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza. Here, his uncle, journalist Ahmed Ghanem, mourns him in anguish, asking: “How long will this bloodshed continue? Where is the free world?”
Pakistan’s government is defying its own Supreme Court and keeping Imran Khan behind bars on politically motivated charges.
After years of imprisonment, prolonged isolation, and growing concerns about his health, Khan was ordered by Pakistan’s Supreme Court to receive independent medical treatment with access to his personal physician. Instead, authorities returned him to prison without carrying out the ordered care.
But this goes beyond medical treatment. Imran Khan should not be imprisoned in the first place.
Amnesty International has called his imprisonment “unlawful and politically motivated,” and the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention has called for his immediate release.
Pakistan must respect the rule of law, end his isolation, allow independent medical care, and FREE IMRAN KHAN.
Israeli snipers kill a Palestinian mother and her young boy. And then they shoot anyone who tries to help them or retrieve their bodies.
Because "self-defense" of course.
In other news Finland quietly extended their bilateral defense agreement with Israel for another 10 years.
”عمران خان نے کہا، میری قوم کو بتائو یہ جیل میں میرے ساتھ کتنا ظلم کر رہے ہیں۔ یہ انسان نہیں ہیں، انہوں نے مجھے قید تنہائی میں ٹیلی ویژن یا پڑھنے کیلئے کسی بھی قسم کے مواد سے دور رکھا۔ میرے سر میں کچھ ہوتا تھا، میں نے ڈاکٹرز سے اپنی طبیعت کا کئی بار ذکر کیا مگر انہیں کوئی پرواہ نہیں۔“ ہمشیرہ اعظممئ خان، 9 ماہ بعد عمران خان سے ملنے کے بعد ملاقات کا احوال بتاتے ہوئے آبدیدہ
As a practicing cardiologist in US, this patient requires Coronary CT angiogram as soon as possible based on his symptoms and risk factors at this age
Treat humane as humane 🙏🏻
Imran Khan's medical reports are alarming. I have gone through them with several specialists, and I am writing this in plain language so every Pakistani can understand exactly what is happening.
In order of priority, this is what worries me most: his anxiety and stress levels, his palpitations, and his high blood pressure. Sleeplessness is not mentioned in the report, but looking at the medications, it is almost certainly there too.
I have known Imran Khan for more than 35 years. Stress was never his weakness. That it is now at peak levels tells you everything about what three years of imprisonment and total isolation have done to him.
The causes are not hard to understand: the state of the country, his colleagues in jail, those sentenced, the killed, and their grieving families. His own isolation, no newspapers, no books, no knowledge of what is happening outside. And yes, his anxiety over Bushra Bibi, his sisters, his workers and his party.
Look at the medications, as there is no diagnosis. He is on Citanil and Lexotanil, three times a day. That is not sleeplessness being treated. That is daytime anxiety being treated. Read that twice.
His heart rate is 54 bpm. Doctors will call that "normal." It is not normal for him. His resting heart rate has been in the low 40s his whole adult life, the mark of a lifelong elite athlete. A jump to 54 is a real shift.
He has reported heart palpitations. That is not something to note and move on from. It needs a 24-hour Holter monitor immediately, to catch the frequency and get him on the right medication. Even an Apple Watch linked to an Apple ID outside Pakistan (as that function is disabled in Pakistan) can flag Atrial Fibrillation and palpitations in real time.
He is on three separate BP medications now. That requires proper daily AM/PM monitoring to titrate correctly, not once-a-week guesswork. He is also on a cholesterol-lowering drug. Raised cholesterol at his age is both genetic and stress-driven, and needs diet, exercise, and medication working together, as does his blood pressure. Less salt. More movement. Real monitoring.
And the following tests that must happen now, without further delay:
1) A Stress Test
2) An Echocardiogram
3) Cardiac MRI
4) Cardiac Artery Calcium (CAC) scan, because of raised cholesterol to check for calcified deposits that block arteries and lead directly to heart attacks or the need for stents.
5) Cardiac CT Angiogram and other tests if indicated.
I am deeply worried. Isolation is taking a physical toll on his body. If this is not addressed immediately, the damage may become irreversible with more complications to follow.
@ImranKhanPTI definitely needs to be moved to a hospital environment now, under an independent panel of doctors. Neither his family nor the people of Pakistan trust government-appointed doctors alone. We have already seen reports manipulated before, numbers exaggerated or suppressed, platelets among them.
The next three months will decide whether his condition is reversed or becomes permanent.
We all are alarmed.
The country needs him more than ever before. May Allah keep him healthy. Ameen. 🤲
An American surgeon's voice breaks as he retells how he amputated the leg of a 5 year old girl in Gaza without anesthesia. The only anesthesia was the doctor singing to her.
"The ER floors was filled with dozens of babies that were missing limbs."
This is Israel's genocide.
The Israeli army stormed a wedding hall in the Palestinian town of Al-Eizariya, east of Jerusalem, and assaulted people who were there celebrating.
This is daily life for Palestinians living under Israeli occupation.
We are humbled to present the largest oral archive of testimony from Gaza produced since the genocide began, a collective memorial to the journalists who gave their lives to tell their people’s stories. LISTEN: https://t.co/qTS04mJsON
