A personal plea to @elonmusk
My two sons have not been allowed to see or speak to their father Imran Khan who has been held unlawfully (acc to the UN) for 22 months of solitary confinement.
X is the only place left where we can still tell the world he is a political prisoner without basic human rights.
Yet every time I post about him, the reach inside Pakistan (and often globally) is throttled to almost zero.
You promised free speech, not “speech but no one hears it”.
Please fix the visibility filtering on my account so we can get the message out! @MarioNawfal
My father, former Prime Minister Imran Khan, has now spent over 700 days in prison - held in solitary confinement. He is denied access to his lawyers, not allowed visits from his family, fully cut off from us (his children), and even his personal doctor is refused entry. This is not justice. It is a deliberate attempt to isolate and break a man who stood for rule of law, democracy, and Pakistan.
The horrifying reality of Imran Khan’s incarceration in his sons’ words. This interview is unquestionably important:
Imran Khan’s sons Sulaiman and Kasim Khan are not saying things to gain likes or followers.
They are not beneficiaries, in any way, of Imran Khan’s political stature in Pakistan.
Whatever they have said in this interview is based on their pain for the way their father has been treated in his own country and their growing concern for their father’s wellbeing and safety in the Adiala Jail, Rawalpindi.
Thank you @MarioNawfal for this thoughtful and timely interview
@malikjfernando I’m so sorry for your loss Malik. I will never forget meeting him in Sri Lanka and how proud he was of the school we visited. His aura glowed golden. I have no doubt you will continue his great work. Warmest wishes Alice
Jeremy Corbyn says “Stop arming Ukraine.” To think that this man was trying to become U.K. prime minister. Serious bullet dodged. https://t.co/j5yeQLLbJC
Russia is planning to starve Asians and Africans in order to win its war in Europe. This is a new level of colonialism, and the latest chapter of hunger politics. 16/16
Yes, this is one of the most shameful parts of my new book. The U.K. has absolutely refused to open any money laundering investigation connected to the Magnitsky murder in spite of the largest amount on the dirty money coming into this country.
For all those who are astonished how quickly the Taliban is taking control in Afghanistan, it’s simple really. For years they had a parallel juridical, security, welfare and financial/tax system in place in rural areas, ready to fill the inevitable void!

@breastguide So grateful that you used the Savi Scout for my breast cancer surgery; preserving breast tissue while achieving clear margins. Thank you 🙏🏼
Putin seems to be doing everything possible to make @navalny into a national hero. After poisoning Navalny which required German doctors to save his life, Putin arrests him on return for parole violations because he was in Germany.
If there ever was an example of bravery, it is this: Alexey Navalny is returning to Russia where the government who attempted to kill him is waiting to do him more harm.
A wonderfully funny and wanderlust inducing piece in @timesluxx this weekend from @Alice__BB on her adventure with us to the newly opened spa hotel, Forestis, set in the depths of the Dolomites #LifeIsInTheDetail#TravelLessTravelBetter

Here is the EU’s latest State of Nature report. Look at Great Britain, nearly all red, the most nature-depleted place in all Europe. Time to rewild our river corridors, our former wetlands, our green belts, our gardens and our national parks. https://t.co/atm8Hd6yoI
