There is little choice left for the people of Pakistan.

Either remain silent while their chosen leader is imprisoned. Whilst his family is detained, his party is suppressed and justice is denied - or come out peacefully and exercise their fundamental right to protest.

You can arrest families and threaten people with violence. But you cannot imprison 250 million Pakistanis or crush the will of a generation.

No regime is more powerful than its people. The world must watch as the people of Pakistan come together to demonstrate their plea for justice, even in the face of threats of violence.

Inshallah, Pakistan’s future will be decided by its people, not by criminals who rule through fear.

[Dr. Shahbaz GiLL @SHABAZGIL]

The military regime of Asim Munir abducted Imran Khan’s whole family. His three sisters their children even little infants. This is cruel like Hitler. The world must speak. Shameful how western democracies close their eyes on all these violations of rule of law democracy human rights and freedom of speech. In Pakistan they are rather empowering this regime. The world must speak.

[Kasim Khan @Kasim_Khan_1999]

This is a disgrace.

Now my Aunts Dr. Uzma and Noureen, along with my cousins Shershah and Shahrez have now been abducted as well.

They have broken into my aunties and cousins houses and forced them
into vehicles with no explanation.

No reasons for arrest have been stated.

No news has been released as to where they have been taken.

This is criminal behaviour. Inexcusable. The Pakistani people are petrified of their own leaders.

No upstanding nation should tolerate this criminal establishment. Intervention is now imperative.

The world MUST take action.

[Kasim Khan @Kasim_Khan_1999]

And it get’s worse.

My cousin Shahrez’s 2 children of 4 and 6 years old are now missing.

There is no limit to their cruelty. Complete disregard for humanity.

[Kasim Khan @Kasim_Khan_1999]

Today, my aunt, Aleema Khan, has been abducted by police in Lahore. Our family has been told nothing about where she has been taken. Her family and lawyers cannot reach her.

This is the behaviour of a fascist government - abducting people, terrorising families and trampling human rights, due process and the rule of law while pretending to stand for democracy.

First they imprisoned my father. Now they are coming after his family.

We demand immediate access to her for her family and lawyers, full disclosure of where she is being held, and her immediate release.

The world cannot keep looking away from what is happening in Pakistan.

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

کوئی شخص جو روز قیامت پر یقین رکھتا ہو، ایسے بد ترین ظلم کا حصہ کیسے بن سکتا ہے؟ کوئی صاحب اقتدار ایسے بے ضرر شخص کی موت کی توجیح کیسے تخلیق کر سکتا ہے؟ کعبے سے زیادہ حرمت والی انسانی جان کی ایسی بے حرمتی کے بعد رب کے حضور معافی کی امید پتہ نہیں کیسے کوئی رکھ سکتا ہے۔

Since the ouster of Imran Khan as Prime Minister, the entire country’s system began to be controlled through oppression, tyranny, and fascism. The world of sports was not spared either; failure took root there as well.

That was embarrassing from Pakistan … Never have I seen a Pakistan side look so short of spirit & fight .. #ENGvPak

Adding my support here to GC and the other former international captains. I hope the court ordered medical assessment be allowed to run its course, and that family visits continue. I hope Imran Khan is treated with the dignity anyone deserves

Prime Minister @andyburnham and Foreign Secretary @Ed_Miliband : how much longer will Britain remain silent?

For three years the father of my two sons, and Pakistan’s former Prime Minister, Imran Khan, has been brutally penalised by his political opponents, in a personal vendetta by Army Chief, Asim Munir,  which according to the UN,  amounts to torture and which  is now taking a potentially fatal toll on his physical and mental health. 

He has endured 3 years of solitary confinement. For nearly ten months now his family has been denied contact with him. He has been deprived of the most basic human contact, denied access to books, lawyers and doctors.

The international human-rights standards are unequivocal. Under the UN’s Nelson Mandela Rules, solitary confinement lasting more than 15 consecutive days is prohibited and amounts to torture.

He has endured this treatment not for 15 days, but for three years.

Pakistan’s own Supreme Court has now intervened: ordering comprehensive  medical treatment, access to his personal doctor, regular family visits and twice-weekly calls with his sons.

Yet those orders are being defied.

This is no longer simply a Pakistani political matter. It is a human-rights emergency.

He has deep and lifelong ties to Britain. He studied at Oxford University, captained Oxford University cricket and spent years playing county cricket in England. His relationship with this country stretches back more than half a century. His charitable activities were internationally recognised, and  include building the only free cancer hospital in Pakistan as well as a university.

His sons, my two boys, Sulaiman and Kasim, are British citizens. They have been forced to watch their father’s health decline from thousands of miles away, prevented from visiting him, denied visas, publicly threatened by government officials with arrest themselves, and even denied court-mandated regular phone calls. 

I have repeatedly appealed to the UK government to intervene. Purported attempts at back channelling have evidently failed. The previous Foreign Secretary @DavidLammy informed me in writing that Britain would not  intervene if my sons, British citizens, are arrested when they travel to Pakistan to visit their father. 

@FCDOGovUK: Britain must now speak out publicly and unequivocally. Demand that Pakistan comply with its own Supreme Court;  restore Imran Khan’s medical access, his right to see his family, end his prolonged isolation and uphold his fundamental human rights.

Pakistan is a Commonwealth country. Britain has a long and proud tradition of standing against arbitrary detention, inhumane treatment and the denial of fundamental rights. Those principles mean very little if we invoke them only selectively and neglect them when inconvenient.
This an appeal to the new Burnham government  to please now do the right thing.

🚨 سائفر کی اوریجنل کاپی سامنے آ گئی

ڈونلڈ لوُ نے پاکستانی سفیر کو کہا کہ “اگر تحریک عدم اعتماد سے وزیراعظم (عمران خان) کو ہٹا دیا گیا تو “سب معاف کر دیا جائے گا” کیونکہ روس کا دورہ کرنے کا فیصلہ وزیراعظم کا تھا-
ورنہ امریکہ اور یورپ کی جانب سے وزیراعظم عمران خان کو مزید سختی سے isolate/اکیلا کر دیا جائے گا”

ایک بار پھر ثابت ہو گیا کہ #سائفر_ایک_حقیقت تھا اور عمران خان سچا تھا اور سچا ہے!!

اس کے بعد ملک سے 100 ارب ڈالر کی منی لانڈرنگ ہوئی۔

پاکستانیو، فیلڈ مارشل کا شکریہ ادا کرو۔

یہ تو تلوار نکالی ہوئی تھی، اگر نہ نکالی ہوتی تو پھر کیا ہوتا؟
