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.

ویسے تو FIA والے عام شہریوں کے خلاف مقدمات بنانے میں پیش پیش ہوتے ہیں۔ ہم دیکھیں گے کہ آن ڈیوٹی ایک ایف آئی اے اہلکار کو اس طرح ہراس کرنے پر یہ اقرار الحسن کے خلاف مقدمہ دائر کرتے ہیں یا نہیں۔
یہ حرکت کسی پی ٹی آئی والے نے کی ہوتی تو اب تک اس کی پوری فیملی اٹھا لی گئی ہوتی۔

Due to deliberate negligence and persistent inhumane treatment, Imran Khan has suffered severe vision loss. The denial of timely medical intervention constitutes a flagrant violation of fundamental human rights and international prisoner care standards.

Urgent Demands:
• Immediate Medical Transfer to Shifa International Hospital for specialized treatment.
• Immediate and unrestricted access for his personal physicians and family members to oversee his care.
• An immediate end to the enforced secrecy regarding his clinical condition and treatment history.

The international community and relevant human rights oversight bodies must intervene to prevent further irreversible physical harm.

Imran Khan is the legitimate PM of Pakistan and was ousted at Washington's behest for the crime of trading with Russia, safeguarding Pakistan's interests, and criticizing US foreign policy. He's still in prison almost 3 years later, in solitary confinement.

Justo hoy, Netanyahu lanza su ataque más duro contra el Líbano desde que empezó la ofensiva.

Su desprecio por la vida y el derecho internacional es intolerable.

Toca hablar claro:

- Líbano debe formar parte del alto al fuego.

- La comunidad internacional debe condenar esta nueva violación del derecho internacional.

- La Unión Europea debe suspender su Acuerdo de Asociación con Israel.

- Y no debe haber impunidad ante estos actos criminales.

Joe Kent issues an emergency message that Israel will attempt to sabotage this ceasefire deal.

He says now is the time to restrain Israel and cut off its military funding to stop it.

He says Israel’s word should never be trusted because they are absolute liars.

The new price of petrol is Rs 458.41 per litre. It was increased by Rs 134 per litre last night. This increase includes an increase of Rs 55 in petroleum levy. So the government decided to increase tax on petrol by Rs 55 at the same time it was raising prices.

So let’s understand this. The government last night raised petrol prices by Rs 79 per litre but at the same time also decided to raise taxes on petrol by Rs 55 for a total increase of Rs 134 per litre. And it keeps saying it doesn’t want to burden the people and wants to lift the burden itself. Theek ho gaya.

[Jibran Ilyas @agentjay2009]

Petrol Price under Imran Khan: under Rupees 150 per liter

Petrol Price under Asim Munir’s illegal regime: Rupees 458 per liter

Price per barrel was almost the same in 2022. So Imran Khan managed #petrol prices at least three times better.
