World-leading cardiac surgeon Asif Hasan was surrounded by the children who received the gift of life thanks to his unerring skills at the emotional climax of another memorable Pride of Britain ceremony. 🥹
Now 70 years old, Mr Hasan has just retired after 35 years of service at the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle upon Tyne, but just after receiving his Lifetime Achievement Award, he had an extra special surprise: a cast of patients who would not be alive without him. ❤️
🇵🇰 EXCLUSIVE: IMRAN KHAN'S SONS SAY THE PAKISTANI GOVERNMENT IS TRYING TO KILL THEIR FATHER!
I spoke again with Qasim and Sulaiman Khan, and this conversation was the most heartbreaking.
Not only is their father, the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, still in solitary confinement, but his three courageous sisters, Aleema, Uzma and Noreen, have now also been arrested
And when @PTIofficial supporters hit the streets, many were arrested, beaten, and even killed!
Imran Khan’s sons say they haven't spoken to their father in over 6 months, nobody has seen him for 2 months, and they're increasingly worried about his deteriorating health.
I asked them the hardest question of all: Do they still believe they’ll ever see their father again?
Qasim admitted, he has very little hope, but they will never stop fighting
I told them both I wouldn't give up hope.
And I meant it.

Today, Asim Munir’s puppet, illegitimate Form-47 federal government, imposed on Pakistan through an unannounced martial law, has effectively suspended the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly, the only assembly elected through a genuine public mandate, and the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government that holds a majority of more than three-fourths of the MPs.
Provincial Chief Minister Sohail Afridi, Speaker of the KP Assembly Babar Saleem Swati, and PTI’s provincial president Junaid Akbar Khan have been abducted. Many PTI MNAs and MPAs were already abducted in the last few weeks.
Asim Munir and the mafia he has imposed on Pakistan continue to hollow out the country’s foundations so that their grip on power remains intact. This illegitimate federal government has no public mandate and exists only through force and manipulation.
Asim Munir, Shehbaz Sharif and Mohsin Naqvi, whose actual duty is to secure the borders and stop terrorism before it happens, are touring the world to manufacture numbers and polish their image, while dumping their core responsibilities of border protection and the elimination of terrorism onto the provincial government.
This dictatorship, like those before it, will end up in the dustbin of history.
The people of Pakistan must now decide: will you keep silently enduring all of this under an illegitimate government, or will you stand up and save Pakistan from complete destruction?

Currently, my Aunties are still abducted. Family and lawyers have received no update on how they are, nor why they are incarcerated. Concerning my father, there is complete silence.
My brother and I have had no contact with him for more than six months. We do not even know the true state of his health.
Meanwhile, thousands of Pakistanis are peacefully taking to the streets to protest against his illegal and politically motivated imprisonment.
However, the people of Pakistan have not given up. No barricade, intimidation or repression can muzzle the people’s demand for justice and their democratic right to be heard.
There can be no lasting peace or stability while their democratic will is suppressed and their chosen leader remains behind bars.
Pakistan's finest cricketer and one of the game's all-round greats, he led the country to World Cup glory in 1992 🏆
The legendary Imran Khan turns 74 today
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

Today, my aunt, Aleema Khan, has been abducted by police in Lahore. Our family has been told nothing about where she has been taken. Her family and lawyers cannot reach her.
This is the behaviour of a fascist government - abducting people, terrorising families and trampling human rights, due process and the rule of law while pretending to stand for democracy.
First they imprisoned my father. Now they are coming after his family.
We demand immediate access to her for her family and lawyers, full disclosure of where she is being held, and her immediate release.
The world cannot keep looking away from what is happening in Pakistan.
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
C’est la première fois de ma vie que je vois un fleuve de sang sous mes yeux… Et pourtant, on continue à scroll comme si ce génocide était devenu légitime
It has now been around 1,100 days since my father, Imran Khan, was imprisoned, and my brother and I haven’t heard his voice since March. For months, we’ve been denied contact with him. We remain in the dark about his access to healthcare as his eyesight continues to deteriorate. He urgently needs medical attention, and with no family or legal access, we don’t even get any second hand information or reassurance.
I’ve found myself especially missing him recently. I want to speak to him about mundane things like my cricket, books I’ve been reading and what new movies are good. I understand the people of Pakistan want their chosen leader free, but I miss my father more than ever.
But this is not just about a father. It is about Pakistan, and its future. A rigged, authoritarian regime continues to crush political opposition, undermine democratic institutions, and deny millions of Pakistanis their right to freely choose their leaders, whilst terrorising those who speak their beliefs.
I once again plea to the international community to not look away. Silence in the face of injustice only enables it.
If you still haven't read the actual story and only read the cypher doc, please read this story. If you're in Pakistan, use a vpn. This is the story of Pakistan from 2022 to 2026 and nobody else has told it in full.
