🚨🇵🇰 Videos just dropped of police raiding the homes of Tehreek-e-Insaf leaders (Khan party) in Sialkot.
What is this madness?
WTF is happening in Pakistan and why is nobody saying anything?

This is a disgrace.
Now my Aunts Dr. Uzma and Noureen, along with my cousins Shershah and Shahrez have now been abducted as well.
They have broken into my aunties and cousins houses and forced them
into vehicles with no explanation.
No reasons for arrest have been stated.
No news has been released as to where they have been taken.
This is criminal behaviour. Inexcusable. The Pakistani people are petrified of their own leaders.
No upstanding nation should tolerate this criminal establishment. Intervention is now imperative.
The world MUST take action.
WTF IS GOING ON IN PAKISTAN!
They arrest the former Prime Minister Imran Khan, put him in solitary confinement for years, do the same to his wife, then start arresting his family
And now arrest his sister, who's in her 70s, because she's speaking out in support of her brother! the former PRIME MINISTER!!!
Enough is enough! THE FAMILY HAS BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH!
Cricket legend Imran Khan is rotting to death in a tiny jail cell in Pakistan. It's time Britain used its influence to help free him

🇮🇱🇵🇸 A Palestinian boy in Gaza tore apart paper kites he had made himself after Israeli leaders threatened strikes over continued kite launches.
Muhammad Ahmad al-Mufti, whose father was previously killed by Israeli forces while seeking aid, broke down as he destroyed the kites.
“So that Netanyahu is satisfied. So that Katz is satisfied. So that Trump is satisfied.
They want to deprive us of the thing we love.”
All of this is just heartbreaking.

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.
🇵🇰 Imran Khan's sister, Aleema, is again pleading for Pakistan's authorities to transfer him to a hospital as serious concerns about his health grow:
"Get Imran treated. We have been demanding this since February: that Imran has the right to be treated.
I appeal to you. Know our pain first.
When your mother or your brother is sick in your house, tell me what your first priority would be."
His family, doctors, and lawyers haven’t been allowed to see him for seven months, which is insane

What exactly is your point? I don’t understand.
This photo shows tens of thousands of Jews gathered in the heart of New York.
So what is the issue with thousands of Muslims gathering in a society that includes tens of millions of Christians to observe one of their religious rituals?
🇮🇱🇵🇸 Al Jazeera's new documentary on Israel's systematic use of rape against Palestinian prisoners exposes a horrific culture of abuse.
One Israeli lawyer said the prisoners he represents plead with him not to visit because they're raped whenever he's due to meet them.
Despite mountains of evidence showing Israel systematically breaks international laws, the world does nothing.
Gaza... Lebanon... the West Bank... how far do they have to go before world leaders get them to stop?
