I appealed to the Secretary General of the Commonwealth to make representations to the government of Pakistan on behalf of @ImranKhanPTI .
I said “The Commonwealth Charter commits its members to democracy, human rights, the rule of law, good
governance and the separation of powers. Those principles have meaning only if the Commonwealth is prepared to defend them when they come under serious pressure within a member state.”
My original letter is in the next post. Here is the response I received.
As a former Minister for the Commonwealth, I recognise this for what it is- code for saying “we are doing absolutely nothing”.
It is, frankly, a disgrace.

“My brother and I have not been able to visit our father for years. For the past six months, we haven’t even spoken to him. What my father is going through is a violation of his human rights.” - Sulaiman Khan, son of Imran Khan, addressing a press conference.

The Supreme Court has ordered that Imran Khan be allowed to speak with his children. Yet the authorities continue to deny him this basic right, in addition to refusing visas that would allow @Kasim_Khan_1999 and Sulaiman Khan to travel to Pakistan to see their father.

Primer ministro @andyburnham y secretario de Asuntos Exteriores @Ed_Miliband: ¿cuánto tiempo más permanecerá Gran Bretaña en silencio?**

Durante tres años, el padre de mis dos hijos y ex primer ministro de Pakistán, Imran Khan, ha sido brutalmente castigado por sus adversarios políticos, en una vendetta personal del jefe del Ejército, Asim Munir, que, según la ONU, equivale a tortura y que ahora está cobrándose un precio potencialmente fatal en su salud física y mental.

Ha soportado tres años de aislamiento en régimen de incomunicación. Desde hace casi diez meses su familia no puede contactar con él. Se le ha privado del contacto humano más básico y se le ha denegado el acceso a libros, abogados y médicos.

Los estándares internacionales de derechos humanos son inequívocos. Según las Reglas Nelson Mandela de la ONU, el aislamiento solitario que dura más de 15 días consecutivos está prohibido y equivale a tortura.

Él ha sufrido este trato no durante 15 días, sino durante tres años.

El propio Tribunal Supremo de Pakistán ha intervenido: ha ordenado tratamiento médico integral, acceso a su médico personal, visitas familiares regulares y llamadas dos veces por semana con sus hijos.

Sin embargo, esas órdenes se están desobedeciendo.

Esto ya no es simplemente un asunto político pakistaní. Es una emergencia de derechos humanos.

Tiene lazos profundos y de toda la vida con Gran Bretaña. Estudió en la Universidad de Oxford, capitanó el equipo de cricket de Oxford y pasó años jugando cricket de condado en Inglaterra. Su relación con este país se remonta a más de medio siglo. Sus actividades benéficas fueron reconocidas internacionalmente e incluyen la construcción del único hospital oncológico gratuito de Pakistán, así como una universidad.

Sus hijos, mis dos muchachos, Sulaiman y Kasim, son ciudadanos británicos. Se han visto obligados a ver cómo la salud de su padre se deteriora a miles de kilómetros de distancia, se les ha impedido visitarlo, se les han denegado visados, han sido amenazados públicamente por funcionarios del Gobierno con ser arrestados ellos mismos e incluso se les han denegado las llamadas telefónicas regulares ordenadas por un tribunal.

He apelado reiteradamente al Gobierno del Reino Unido para que intervenga. Los supuestos intentos de canales discretos han fracasado evidentemente. El anterior secretario de Asuntos Exteriores, @DavidLammy, me informó por escrito de que Gran Bretaña no intervendría si mis hijos, ciudadanos británicos, son detenidos cuando viajen a Pakistán a visitar a su padre.

@FCDOGovUK: Gran Bretaña debe hablar ahora de forma pública e inequívoca. Exigir que Pakistán cumpla con su propio Tribunal Supremo; restablecer el acceso médico de Imran Khan, su derecho a ver a su familia, poner fin a su aislamiento prolongado y respetar sus derechos humanos fundamentales.

Pakistán es un país de la Commonwealth. Gran Bretaña tiene una larga y orgullosa tradición de oponerse a la detención arbitraria, al trato inhumano y a la negación de derechos fundamentales. Esos principios significan muy poco si solo los invocamos de forma selectiva y los descuidamos cuando resultan incómodos.

Esta es una apelación al nuevo Gobierno de Burnham para que, por favor, haga ahora lo correcto.

Jemima Goldsmith, Imran Khan's former wife, has called on the British government to intervene over the former prime minister’s treatment in Pakistan, urging it to uphold his fundamental rights in accordance with directives issued by the Supreme Court of Pakistan.

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.

[John Simpson @JohnSimpsonNews]

I’ve met Imran Khan, Pakistan’s ex-PM, many times. I greatly like and admire him as a person, and hope the current leadership in Islamabad will realise how much damage his treatment in prison is doing to Pakistan’s image internationally. He clearly needs urgent medical care.

[Al Jazeera Breaking News @AJENews]

The sister of Pakistan’s former prime minister Imran Khan says he told her he was being tortured in jail.

Dr Uzma Khan met her brother after he was taken to hospital for a checkup under a court order, before being quickly returned to prison.
