Members of former prime minister Imran Khan's family, including his three sisters, as well as activists from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) have been arbitrarily detained.
The targeting of his family and PTI party activists is a flagrant violation of their rights to liberty, freedom of expression, association and peaceful assembly. Such actions speak to the severity of the current restrictions in Pakistan.
Amnesty International calls on the Pakistani authorities to immediately release Imran Khan’s relatives and PTI workers, who have been targeted simply for their familial ties, political affiliation and plans to protest.

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
Pakistan: “A lion trapped in a cage: Imran Khan’s ongoing solitary confinement is an inhuman cruelty. The international order has remained conspicuously silent about Khan’s ordeal, but a coalition of cricket captains remains hopeful." https://t.co/h8kB2WaqzV
The ongoing detention and shocking mistreatment of Imran Khan is a grave violation of human rights, democracy and basic decency.
I reiterate my calls for his release.
