Heartbreaking and deeply alarming news is emerging from Azad Kashmir. Instead of protecting the people 🚨
which is the fundamental duty of the state and its institutions—bullets are being fired at unarmed citizens and peaceful protesters. This is extremely tragic and utterly unacceptable.
Whenever the people of any region stand up for their basic rights, against inflation, or against injustice, instead of listening to their grievances, there is an attempt to silence them through force and violence. Using force against our own citizens is not only a state injustice, but it also deepens the dangerous rift and hostility between the public and state institutions.
Our stance—and that of Imran Khan—has always been clear:
The duty of the state is to provide protection, respect, and dignity to its citizens, not to suppress their voice through force.
Violence against unarmed citizens is unacceptable under any circumstances and can never be a solution to any problem.
Such actions will only heighten public anger and sow seeds of division, chaos, and hatred across the country and the region.
We demand that the authorities and administration immediately stop the use of force and violence. The demands and rights of the people must be recognized, and issues should be resolved through meaningful dialogue.
If this use of force against our own citizens does not stop immediately, the flames of hatred will spread further—and the full responsibility for this will lie entirely with the current rulers and state institutions.

In the last few weeks there have been serious and concerning developments regarding my sons’ father, Imran Khan’s treatment in prison. The Pakistan authorities have stopped all visits to him by his family and his lawyers. They have also postponed all court hearings. In addition to cutting off in- person visits, and in defiance of a court order, his weekly calls to his sons, Sulaiman and Kasim Khan, who are British and who live in London, were stopped on 10th September. We have received reports that the authorities have now turned off the lights and electricity in his cell and he is no longer allowed to leave his cell at any time. The jail cook has been sent on leave. He is now completely isolated, in solitary confinement, literally in the dark, with no contact with the outside world. His lawyers are concerned about his safety and well-being.
These actions come in the context of ongoing targeting of Imran’s family, as well as his party (PTI) members and supporters in an attempt to silence them and all political opposition in Pakistan. Imran’s nephew, Hassan Niazi, a civilian, has been detained in military custody since August 2023. More recently, Imran Khan’s sisters, Uzma and Aleema Khan, who have continued to speak out on his behalf, have also been arrested as they made their way peacefully to a demonstration and they are currently being held in jail, despite there being no proper or lawful basis for their imprisonment.
In June this year the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention found that Imran is unlawfully and arbitrarily detained and called for his immediate release.
As a matter of urgency , we are calling for Imran Khan’s release, and for the release of his sisters and nephew as well as for his sons’ contact with their father to be re-established, so that they may have assurance first-hand that he is well and not being mistreated.

How can we cheer for PSL when its sponsor, KFC, is linked to the pain of Palestinian families?
Where do our loyalties lie - with a game, or with humanity's cry for justice?
#BoycottPSL
If PSL continues to promote entities like KFC, implicated in the suffering of Palestinian innocents, our response is clear: No PSL.
Our hearts are with Palestine, not with those who harm its children. #BoycottPSL
