🇵🇰 Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed criticized Pakistan’s military “dictatorship” Sunday, saying “democracy is not being allowed to take its place.”

Speaking at the Pakistan Association of America’s annual gathering in metro Detroit, El-Sayed condemned the imprisonment and intimidation of political leaders, including former Prime Minister Imran Khan, and called for human rights and democratic governance.

El-Sayed drew a parallel to Egypt, where his parents immigrated from, citing its history of military dictatorship and arguing that neither government should be shielded from criticism, or receive US aid, simply because they are U.S. allies.

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 has become “a symbol of democratisation in a country that has been pillaged for decades by a military junta.”

Imran Khan is being tortured in jail, his sister has claimed.

“He told me he is being subjected to torture. His one eye was blindfolded. He was repeatedly saying they are torturing me,” said Dr Uzma Khan.

🇵🇰 Imran Khan's personal physician says he was tricked by Pakistani authorities during last night's hospital saga.

Dr. Faisal Sultan told reporters he was taken into police custody on his way to Adiala Jail, believing he was being brought to see Imran.

Instead he was driven in a convoy to Shifa International Hospital, while officials acted as though Imran was with them.

He says he waited nearly 4 hours, asking again and again where Imran was. Each time, he was told the former prime minister was on his way.

Then they told him Imran had already been taken back to Adiala.

If everything here was above board, why put his doctor in a fake convoy and leave him waiting on a patient who was never coming?

If the news reports are true and the #Pakistan regime both flagrantly violated the #SupremeCourt's order and duped the people in thinking @ImranKhanPTI had been transferred to Al-Shifa, there is an elegant solution. The #SupremeCourt should simply find the regime in contempt of court under Article 204 of the Constitution and issue an order that suspends the two sentences Khan is serving as they are both on appeal anyways and requires his immediate release from prison. Then he can return to the people, get whatever medical care he needs, and fight for the release of his wife as well. @kasim_khan_1999 @sayedzbukhari #humanrights @PTIofficial @PTIofficialUSA @soulful7867

🇵🇰 Imran Khan is back behind bars at Adiala Jail, hours after an overnight medical check in Islamabad.

The Supreme Court ordered he be moved to a private hospital over concerns about his health, including vision problems, unstable blood pressure, and anxiety.

It also ordered him kept at the hospital until his next hearing on Sept. 16.

He got a few hours at a state-run hospital instead, and was back in his cell by 5am.

The government had called the court's order discriminatory and filed a review petition, then cited PTI crowds as the reason for switching hospitals.

His supporters accuse the government of lying, saying Imran was taken to the wrong hospital under false pretenses and held there barely 2 hours before being sent back.

Vision, heart, blood pressure, anxiety, a full workup on a 73-year-old, all wrapped up in a couple of hours. No wonder his supporters don't trust the verdict.

🇵🇰🇺🇸 The cable that toppled a government is finally public.

On March 7, 2022, Pakistan's ambassador in Washington sat down with U.S. assistant secretary of state Donald Lu. The message was short and clear, remove Imran Khan through a no-confidence vote and Washington will look the other way. "All will be forgiven," the ambassador later recalled. Thirty three days later, Khan was gone.

But this didn't start with that meeting. In June 2021, CIA Director William Burns personally flew to Islamabad to meet Khan. Waited a full day. Khan never showed. Said he'd only speak to his counterpart, meaning Biden, who had been dodging Khan's calls since day one. Burns left with nothing. Weeks later Khan went on record with Axios and just said it out loud, "Absolutely not. There is no way we are going to allow any bases, any sort of action from Pakistani territory into Afghanistan." No diplomatic cushioning, no ambiguity.

Washington had its answer. Pakistan's military had seen enough of their own prime minister.
In July 2021, behind Khan's back, the military quietly put a former CIA Islamabad station chief on retainer as a lobbyist in Washington. The generals were already cutting their own deal.

Then came the moment that sealed it. On February 24, 2022, the exact day Russian tanks rolled into Ukraine, Khan was in Moscow shaking hands with Putin on a long scheduled visit. Biden's national security advisor Sullivan had personally called Islamabad days before urging them to cancel. Khan didn't budge. Pakistan then abstained on the UN vote condemning the invasion. Washington was done.

Weeks later came the Lu meeting. The cable. And then Khan was out.

What followed was a gut punch. Artillery shells started flowing to Ukraine secretly through U.S. defense contractors. American support for Pakistan's IMF lifeline was explicitly tied to keeping that weapons pipeline running. Pakistan got its $3 billion bailout in July 2023. In February 2024 the military brazenly rigged the elections and the U.S. and EU sat on their hands and said nothing.

And Khan? Buried under a never ending conveyor belt of charges, corruption, contempt, national security, one case collapsing only for another to appear. He has been behind bars for nearly 3 years now. His wife still in prison. His party outlawed, stripped of its electoral symbol, barred from even fielding candidates under its own name.

The cypher was always real. They called it fake, jailed the man who leaked it, and hoped everyone would move on. They didn't.

In the midst of this war and craziness, Prime Minister Imran Khan is still in jail

My thoughts are with him, his wife and his family

[Kasim Khan @Kasim_Khan_1999]

Today, I had the honour of speaking to the 47 countries that comprise the @UN #HumanRightsCouncil urging the immediate release of my father @imrankhanpti and all #Pakistan’s #politicalprisoners. Along with this, I want to be very clear. Like my father, I fully support maintaining GSP+ as the people of #Pakistan should never be punished for the actions of its leaders. But the Pakistani regime must also fully comply with the 27 treaties it committed to follow to obtain this benefit, including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and Convention Against Torture. @UN @ptiofficial #HumanRights #ImranKhanUnlawfullyDetained

[Kasim Khan @Kasim_Khan_1999]

Yesterday I spoke to my father. He asked me to relay the following message:

“The judges in this country should be ashamed of themselves. Time and time again we have gone to the judiciary. But they have sold their souls for their paid personal privileges. They have sold their integrity. They know they cannot break me, so they turn to my wife. How they can allow this inhumane treatment to Bushra BiBi, simply to blackmail me. She spends 24 hours a day in isolation, except for 30 minutes with me per week - and even that is often ignored. It is unislamic to harm women, children and the elderly - and their motives are plain and clear. The judges are responsible for the justice in a society. They should be ashamed of themselves.”

[Yalda Hakim @SkyYaldaHakim]

Imran Khan’s sons are still waiting for visas to travel to Pakistan. Senior officials told me they would be free to visit their father. Yet weeks later, that assurance has not materialised.

If the government made that promise publicly, why hasn’t it been honoured?
