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.
@salmanAraja Imran Khan 's message was loud and clear to "break the shakels " Honestly have we done that?
عمران خان کا واضح پیغام تھا کہ "خوف کے بت توڑ دو " دیانتداری سےکیا ہم نے ایسا کیا؟
شہید ارشد شریف کے قتل کے بعد پاکستان میں آ زاد صحافت کا خاتمہ ہو گیا ۔ 90 دن میں الیکشن نہ ہوے۔ قانون تباہ ہوا۔ عمران خان اور ہزاروں معصوم بچوں خواتین نوجوانوں اور بزرگوں پرظلم کے پہاڑ24 کے الیکشن چوری ہم ہر گز نہیں بھولیں گے ۔ یقین کرو حساب ہوگا

@KhalidYChaudry مہنگائی اور پٹرول بم۔ ایران وار۔ فلسطین اور اب ابرہام کارڈ سب آ پ لوگوں کے ناک کے نیچے ہوتا رہا ۔ نہ پہلے کسی کو ہوش آ یا ۔ سبکو ٹرک کی بتی کے پیچھے لگا دیا گیا ۔ عمران بارے کوئی سنجیدہ نہیں ۔ افسوس
Khan Saab was so hurt tears came from his eyes after revealing cipher to his nation. He was honest than and remains honest to this date
We never doubted you Khan Saab. Never have never will
Free Imran Khan! Pakistan postures as helpful, fair intermediary in ceasefire negotiations, but it is holding its former Prime Minister (and his wife) in solitary confinement for the crime of being highly popular and not bowing to the CIA running the place.
Pakistan's Imran Khan's unjust imprisonment is not because of any plausible evidence of corruption or criminality.
Its a politically motivated vendetta.
It stems from a personal grudge held by Pakistan's current Army Chief General Asim Munir, there is bad blood between him and Khan, not because of what Khan did wrong, but because of what he tried to do right.
Imran Khan was Prime Minister of Pakistan from 2018 to 2022. In October 2018 he approved the appointment of Lieutenant General Asim Munir as head of the powerful Inter Services Intelligence agency (also known as ISI) but after only about eight months in June 2019 Khan removed him from that powerful post and shifted him to command a corps in Gujranwala.
The military gave no public reason for the sudden change at the time.
Khan has always denied that the decision had anything to do with corruption allegations involving his wife Bushra Bibi. He called such claims completely false, meanwhile some orders have told me that Khan had serious concerns over the Genral "working eigh foriegn services" remember, it was Imran Khan who exposed the massive CIA influence in Pakistan, and called out its operators.
Khan was removed as Prime Minister in April 2022 through a no confidence vote in parliament. He called it an imported regime change backed by hidden forces. Soon after that, (unsurprisingly), Asim Munir was appointed Chief of Army Staff in November 2022.
Khan was then, again unsurprisingly arrested in May 2023 and has been in Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi since August 2023. He faces a long list of cases. These including obviously manufactured or flawed accusations that he illegally sold or kept expensive state gifts received as Prime Minister the Toshakhana references.
There is also the cypher case about a secret diplomatic document. Plus charges linked to the violent protests by his supporters on 9 May 2023 when military installations were attacked. Several other graft marriage validity and terrorism related cases were filed too. It all seems like a complex Web of Lawfare and supposition.
Some of the convictions against him have been suspended or overturned on appeal but fresh sentences and pending trials have kept him locked up. As of today, 17th of April 2026, he remains in jail serving time on various "corruption" convictions.
Khan and his party insist all these cases are fake and politically motivated. They point directly at General Asim Munir as the person behind what they describe as selective prosecution and pressure on the courts. Khan has repeatedly said Munir is acting out of personal revenge for being removed as ISI chief years earlier. He has even claimed that Munir is extending this vendetta to harsh treatment of his wife Bushra Bibi who has also spent time in prison on related charges.
Meanwhile, the international community is silent on the detention of a man who would, if polls are believed, sweep into power in a free and fair election in Pakistan.
Ask yourself 2 questions, if Khan was a pro western leader, who hadn't challenged foreign influence and corruption in Pakistan, would he be imprisoned today?
And finally, why is the dubious imprisonment of a globally recognised political leader essentially absent from western headlines?
You decide.
#PAKWatch🇵🇰: Imran Khan’s sister, Aleema, calls out the INHUMANE TREATMENT of Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi:
"The pressure is deliberate, calculated, and inhumane. [Imran Khan] said clearly, “No deal, no surrender! It is liberty or death.”
FREE CAPTAIN PAKISTAN.
