Very powerful and much needed intervention from former Prime Minister @BorisJohnson calling on Pakistan to free @ImranKhanPTI
“What the Pakistani generals fear is that if they let him out, his millions of fans in Pakistan will simply bear him aloft to a tumultuous victory in the next available election. That is why they are treating him with such cruelty – refusing even to allow his two sons, Sulaiman and Kasim, to have visas to visit him in jail.”

Cricket legend Imran Khan is rotting to death in a tiny jail cell in Pakistan. It's time Britain used its influence to help free him

🚨 PPP DOUBLE GAME WITH PTI 🚨
A PTI worker was simply carrying her party flag at Numaish in Karachi when police asked her to leave, as there was a security threat. Female police personnel then took the flag away from her.
Carrying a political party flag is not an act of violence, and a woman should not be treated like a threat simply for openly supporting the party of her choice.
Scenes like this only strengthen the perception among PTI supporters that even peaceful political expression is being restricted.
She was carrying a flag, not a weapon. Political differences should never become an excuse to humiliate or silence ordinary citizens.
This Indian Muslim will go home and write 2-3 essays against Pakistani Muslims and will emphasise on how India is heaven for them and Pakistan is living hell…
After a police officer was seen taking a flag from a PTI woman, KP CM Sohail Afridi returned Sindh Police security, saying, “I don’t need Sindh Police security. Let all police leave.”
Just Imagine the childishness of Pakistan’s military run regime! Threatening to Boycott a Cricket Match because of a TV Interview- this kind of brain was only manufactured by “OTS Mangla” - even PMA wallas can’t think with such small kidneys!
PCB threatened Lord’s Test boycott after Sky Sports telecast interview of Imran Khan’s two sons recorded at the Lord’s Cricket Ground
PCB wants SKY to not air the interview, or else they won't take the field post-lunch 🧐
Here's the full interview 👇🏻
SALUTE to @Athersmike, someone I had the privilege of playing with many years ago, and @SkySports for doing this interview despite political pressure and standing up for Imran Khan. More sportspersons need to find their voice—not just when human and political rights are violated in another country, but, more importantly, when they are threatened in their own.
How many of our sporting stars, for instance, spoke out when our women wrestlers were protesting?
Sport gives you a platform. USE IT. SPEAK OUT. And STAY STRONG when you stand up to power. 🙏
Imran Khan’s sons have accused the Pakistani government of “blatantly trying to kill” the jailed former prime minister and cricket captain.
Khan, 73, has been in jail in Pakistan for the past three years because of a string of allegations that followed his ousting as prime minister in August 2022 ⤵️
