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
I wrote to the Govt of #Pakistan to express serious concern about proposed constitutional amendments that directly impact judicial independence and the right to a fair trial. An independent, impartial judiciary is essential to the preservation of democracy. The letter can be accessed here: https://t.co/lZmZFzV2Qz
#JudicialIndependence
#FairTrial
I am concerned by the treatment of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan in prison, in particular the violation of the court order permitting visits by his doctor, and the refusal to allow visits by his family.
#ImranKhan deserves to be treated with dignity! #PTICanada
The ex-wife of Pakistan’s former prime minister Imran Khan on Tuesday called for his immediate release, citing “serious and concerning” reports about his treatment in prison.
Jemima Goldsmith said the Pakistani authorities had stopped all visits to him by his family and lawyers, postponed court hearings, and prevented him from calling his two sons since early September.
Trying to bring this to the attention of UK Foreign Secretary @DavidLammy who is - as yet - unresponsive.
(Annoyingly, I don’t seem to be as well connected & in control as the conspiracy theorists in Pakistan suggest I am)
