Adding my support here to GC and the other former international captains. I hope the court ordered medical assessment be allowed to run its course, and that family visits continue. I hope Imran Khan is treated with the dignity anyone deserves
“He (Imran Khan) has been in isolation for three years… in the dark most of the time… This is not a political thing… This is about human rights. Nobody should be kept in those conditions.”

“It would be amazing to have our father around but I don’t think it would he fair to the people of Pakistan to rid them of what he’s trying to do and has been doing for them.” - @Kasim_Khan_1999#FreeImranKhan

He is 73 years old. He will not make a deal but for that nobody has the right to risk his life via solitary confinement and extreme violations of Human Rights!
“The most intense and harsh prison conditions I’ve seen in my 25-year career.”
International human rights lawyer @JaredGenser told @CNN that the torturous solitary confinement and isolation of former Prime Minister Imran Khan is part of a deliberate strategy by the Pakistani regime to “crush his spirit or break him psychologically.”

Extremely thankful to International Media, cricket captains & human rights activists for raising voice against Torture on Imran Khan.
Here is the another big development as @SkySports airs this 18 mins interview of @Kasim_Khan_1999 & Sulaiman Khan with @Athersmike on how IK’s human rights are being violated blatantly in Pakistan by Asim Munir and Team!
حکومت پاکستان اب ڈھکے چھپے انداز میں نہیں بلکہ کھل کر ہمارے والد کو خاموش اور انکی زندگی کو نقصان پہنچانے پر کاربند ہے۔ قاسم خان

Imran Khan’s sons have accused the Pakistani government of “blatantly trying to kill” the jailed former prime minister and cricket captain.
Khan, 73, has been in jail in Pakistan for the past three years because of a string of allegations that followed his ousting as prime minister in August 2022 ⤵️

تحریک انصاف نے ہیلتھ کارڈ دیا ، ہسپتالوں کی بہتری کے لیے MTI ایکٹ لائے ، محکمہ صحت میں 33,000 بھرتیاں کیں ، ڈاکٹرز کی پرائیویٹ پریکٹس کو ریگولیٹ کیا ، پانچ مدر کئیر ہسپتال شروع کیے ، نشتر ٹو شروع کیا ، ساری آبادی کو کویڈ ویکسین لگائی ، صحت کے بجٹ میں سو فیصد تک اضافہ کیا۔
فوج نے اقتدار پر قبضہ کیا تو عدالتوں کو کنٹرول کرنے کی آئینی ترمیم آئی ، عاصم منیر کو مزید اختیارات دینے کی ترمیم آئی ، عاصم منیر کو کابینہ میں بیٹھنے کی ترمیم آئی ، عاصم منیر کو نیوی اور فضائیہ پر کنٹرول کی ترمیم آئی۔
ایک طرف عوام کی فکر عوام کو جوابدہی ، دوسری طرف اقتدار کی بھوک اور قبضے کی جنگ۔
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.
Since the Pakistan Establishment is not obeying orders of the courts ( like the order to shift Imran Khan to Shifa hospital ) I appeal to the CJP to close down all courts in Pakistan until the Establishment gives a firm assurance that it will in future obey orders of the courts

Chief Justice of Pakistan Yahya Afridi, you and most of your brother/sisters of the Pakistan SC, have violated your oath, and shamelessly surrendered before the Pakistan Establishment, out of fear.
But see what Qazi Sirajuddin, Qazi-e-Subah of Bengal did in 1490 AD ( a historical incident recorded in his book 'History of Bengal' by Charles Stewart ).
The Qazi too was afraid of the wrath of the Sultan ( just as you are afraid of the wrath of the Pakistan army ) if he summoned him to his court. But fear of God ( who would ask him on the Day of Judgment when he had to appear before Him why he did not do his duty ) prevailed over fear of the Sultan https://t.co/ZWsFAdRfdC
It seems to me you have no fear of Allah
جب عمران خان کی بہنوں نے پریس کانفرنس کی اور انھوں نے بتایا کہ خان نے کہا ہے کہ یہ میرے اوپر بہت ظلم کررہے ہیں
مجھے سے وہ دیکھا نہیں گیا " نوجوان زاروقطار رونے لگ پڑا "
یہ ویڈیو پوری قوم کی عکاسی کررہی ہے
میں دنیا کے تمام رہنماؤں سے دست بستہ اپیل کرتا ہوں کہ پاکستان کے سابق وزیرِاعظم @ImranKhanPTI کی زندگی اور آزادی کو ایک انتہائی انتقامی حکومت کے چنگل سے بچایا جائے۔
میں دیگر سربراہانِ مملکت سے اپیل کرتا ہوں کہ عمران خان کو بھی اسی طرح بچانے کے لیے آگے بڑھیں، جیسے دنیا نے ایک وقت میں نیلسن منڈیلا کو بچانے کے لیے آواز اٹھائی تھی۔
عمران خان نے نہ صرف کھیلوں کی دنیا میں نمایاں خدمات انجام دی ہیں بلکہ وہ ایک عظیم انسان دوست بھی ہیں۔ اس کے علاوہ انہوں نے پاکستان جیسے تیسری دنیا کے ملک کی سیاست کو کرپشن اور مفادات کی سیاست سے پاک کرنے کے لیے بھی بھرپور جدوجہد کی ہے۔
وفاقی حکومت نے پنڈی میں فوج تعیناتی کی منظوری دے دی ہے،
عمران خان کو ہسپتال نہیں لیکر جانا،
مجھے مرسی کی طرح قتل کرنے کی کوششیں ہو رہی ہیں عمران خان،
ان خبروں کو جھوڑ کر گہرائی سے سوچیں
کہیں دیر نہ ہو جائے۔
صورتحال میں نیا ٹوئسٹ : دل کے ڈاکٹر نے عمران خان کو یکم اگست کو جیل میں چیک کرنے کے بعد ایک رپورٹ مرتب کی تھی جس کے پلان 'بی' میں ان کی 'سٹی کورونری انجیو گرافی' کرانا تجویز کیا گیا تھا پھر20 اور 21 اگست کو عمران خان پمز لایا بھی گیا اب اس ٹیسٹ کا کیا ہوا اس بارے کچھ معلوم نہیں ۔۔۔ !
البتہ اب آج 22 اگست کی وزیراعظم آفس کی جاری پریس ریلیز پڑھ لیں جس میں پمز میں 'سٹی کورونری انجیو گرافی' کی سہولت فعال نا ہونے کا وزیراعظم نے نوٹس لیا ہے انکوائری کمیٹی بھی قائم کر دی
تو اس کیا مطلب لیا جائے کہ پمز میں تمام سہولیات موجود نہیں ہیں ؟؟؟ جس کا دعویٰ حکومت کرتی آئی ہے
