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.

اس وقت تو مجھے بھی لگا - کہ شاید غصے میں کہہ دیا مگر گزشتہ چالیس ماہ کے واقعات نے بارہا اس تلخ حقیقت کو آشکار کیا - یہ صرف جھوٹ بولتے ہیں! خدا کی ایسی لعنت ہے کہ سچ بول ہی نہیں سکتے! جب آپ کو لگے کہ کوئی سینیر افسر سچ بول رہا ہے: ہمیشہ رول نمر:۱ چیک کریں: یہ ہمیشہ جھوٹ بولتے ہیں

The sister of Pakistan’s former prime minister Imran Khan says he told her he was being tortured in jail.

Dr Uzma Khan met her brother after he was taken to hospital for a checkup under a court order, before being quickly returned to prison.

[Meetha Kharbooza @aikazaadfruit]

Complete solitary confinement treatment that Imran Khan didn't know which month is it when he met Uzma Aapa is something I am unable to process till now.

I have never felt so helpless before.

[Zac Goldsmith @ZacGoldsmith]

What is happening to @imrankhanPTI is an abuse on every conceivable level.
Passively monitoring the situation is plainly not enough. It is time for active diplomacy.

Sometimes I think about Noreen Niazi and how difficult it must have been for her. Her son has been in jail for 3.5+ years, while her only brother has endured even worse isolation for 3+ years. Two unbearable battles to live through; pain of a mother & helplessness of a sister.

🇵🇰 Fmr. Pakistani PM Imran Khan’s medical check was apparently limited to an eye exam and blood pressure, nothing more.

Dr. Uzma Khan (his sister) says that no blood tests or further diagnostics were carried out.

Khan has been imprisoned at Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi since Aug. 2023, facing over 100 legal cases and convictions related to alleged corruption.

Khan and his party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), maintain that all the prosecutions are politically engineered by the government to prevent him from participating freely in elections or holding power again.

Is Pakistan criminalizing political dissent?
