🇵🇰 IMRAN KHAN’S SON: “WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A MONTH—IT’S BEEN TWO YEARS”
Kasim:
“I really thought it would be a month. A couple of months maximum.
But it’s been nearly two years now—and he’s been in solitary confinement the entire time.
It’s been pretty brutal.”
Below is a THREAD with some shorter clips of the most important messages from my boys’ interview regarding their father’s incarceration.
Please share if you can.
1) His conditions in jail
Last few days have made me realise how mentally enslaved we’re as a nation
All it took were two coherent sentences from Bilawal &Hina khar’s mouth for us to forget the decades of systemic repression these thugs have been enabling for our fellow countrymen.We r far from awakening
Standing behind armed forces against hostile Indian aggression doesn’t mean we’re going to be okay with their blatant political interference but for now that can wait, we shall get back to it when the cloud of war settles
Imran Khan's supporter base is the most creative supporter base I have ever seen.
What a brilliant way to showcase what happened in D Chowk.
You are done and dusted.
Former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s informal chat with representatives of media and his lawyers - December 3, 2024:
I was informed about the full details of the Islamabad Massacre today by my family, how our peaceful protesters were directly shot and dozens of unarmed citizens who spoke up for the constitution and rule of law were martyred while hundreds were injured. Details of 12 martyrs have so far been revealed.
This brutality marks one of the darkest chapters in Pakistan’s history. It’s as if Yahya Khan part two has taken over the country.
I demand that the Supreme Court form an impartial judicial commission to investigate the massacre of unarmed, peaceful civilians and to give the harshest punishment to those who ordered the massacre and those involved in carrying it out.
I am further consulting on this matter and collecting details. We will not leave this matter unaddressed. If anyone thinks that the people will remain silent because of the fear being created, then they are deluded. We will raise our voices against this atrocity on all international forums. I have directed the PTI leadership to file FIRs against those responsible, including Shahbaz Sharif and Mohsin Naqvi. In which country of the world is such direct fire opened on democratic protests?
Data about the martyrs and the injured from hospitals in Islamabad and Rawalpindi should be made public at the earliest, and CCTV footage from all hospitals as well as from Safe City should be preserved so that evidence cannot be erased like it was on May 9 (2023).
I have instructed my party as well as the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to take responsibility for the care and welfare of the families of those martyred as well as those injured, and to make every effort for the recovery of those who are missing; and to lend encouragement and support the legal teams pursuing the cases of those arrested.
As far as whether the operation was a success or a failure, armed operations are always successful. The Lal Masjid operation was also successful, Yahya Khan also led a successful operation, but a month later the country was divided into two. The bloodbath that took place in Islamabad will have a long-lasting effect.
I had instructed Bushra Bibi to take the demonstration to Islamabad under any circumstances, and she did what I had instructed her to.
All office bearers and workers of PTI should unite and organize themselves to prepare for the next phase of our struggle for liberation from the mafia that has imposed itself on the country - this is not politics but a struggle for genuine democracy, rule of law and sovereignty.
BIG Project Update!
Phase 1 of Google Drive containing evidence of #IslamabadMassacre is now LIVE at https://t.co/HUvI4uppTB
Incredible efforts from all Social Media volunteers across the globe!
I request all international human rights organizations to raise their voice against the massacre of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) workers in Islamabad, Pakistan, on 26 November night in which according to eyewitnesses scores of political activists have been shot dead and hundreds injured by security forces.
In addition, I want you to help the people of Pakistan ensure the safety of the PTI’s founder and former prime minister, Imran Khan, whose life is in danger in prison following the massacre.
Khan is the leader of Pakistan’s largest political party, who was indicted on trumped-up charges and has been imprisoned for one and a half years.
Whenever courts grant him a bail in one case, the military-backed regime re-arrests him in another case. Justice is not being delivered.
Political activists, including women, have been continued to be unjustly imprisoned.
On behalf of millions of Pakistanis,
I, Qasim Khan Suri, Former Deputy Speaker National Assembly of Pakistan, request your urgent assistance in this matter.
Thanks and regards!

Tragedy is we are still unable to find dead bodies of many PTI martyrs. 250+ injured by gunshots in which many are dying everyday & not reported. Missing PTI protestors are either in hospitals or martyred.
Lost someone on 9 may, another shot on 26 Nov. Revenge will be taken.
“Ye tou fire kar rahy hai yaar” the shock in his voice tells you how no one expected the armed forces to fire on their own ppl. Khair ghalti bhi humari hai. We didn’t believe what our Bengali brothers kept telling us.
Abject failure of entire PTI leadership for even after 2 days completely failing to showcase the injured, deceased & missing person of PTI to international community & media
I have submitted information to the International Criminal Court prosecutor’s office and UK Government regarding the Islamabad Massacre, calling for action under Article 13 (b) of the Rome Statute for violations of international law, as per Crimes Against Humanity under Article 7
PTI final call Jalsa was a huge success.
A show of might and resilience resistance and tenacity. Huge demonstration of bravery & support for Khan.
Stop acting like it failed just because it dispersed in the face of straight shooting & a jailanwalla bagh type attack.

Horrified by reports of an attempted cover-up of the alleged killings of peaceful protesters by Asim Munir's regime in Pakistan.
The US must impose visa bans and asset freezes on senior officials in the military regime.
