Responding to the arbitrary detention of members of former prime minister Imran Khan’s family, including his three sisters, as well as activists from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) ahead of the party’s planned protests and march on 27 September:
“The targeting of Imran Khan’s family and PTI party activists is a flagrant violation of their rights to liberty, freedom of expression, association and peaceful assembly. Such actions speak to the severity of the current restrictions in Pakistan.
“The pre-emptive arrests of PTI members come ahead of planned country-wide protests by the party on 27 September, which government officials have openly vowed to stop. Roadblocks are already being erected in Islamabad. These developments do not bode well, especially given the authorities’ long track record of reckless and unlawful use of force against protesters. A protest cannot be deemed violent before it has even started. Pakistan’s authorities must uphold their obligations under international human rights law to facilitate peaceful assembly and refrain from unlawful measures to thwart these protests."

My mother, Aleema Khan @Aleema_KhanPK, was abducted a few hours ago. We still have no information about where she is being held. Leaving her family in the dark about her whereabouts is indefensible.
If cowardice had a face, this politico-military government would be it.

عجزنا عن منع هذا الظلم والعدوان، ولكن عاقبة هذا الخذلان ووزر هذا الظلم سوف تلاحقنا وتشتت شملنا...
لا تنسَ غزة.. ولا تسمح لأحد بأن ينساها.

Wasim Akram speaks up for Imran Khan:
"He's my friend, I miss him a lot. I haven't spoken to him for three years. It's so unfortunate, politically, what's happening with him. The court of law is the court of law. But as far as his health is concerned, there can be no compromise on that.
We don't know what's happening, the government are saying his health apparently is fine. But I'm worried. I miss him a lot."
