I have stayed out of active politics.
But this cannot go without being said.
They couldn’t beat you at the ballot. So they illegally incarcerated you. They tried to finish your party. They even took away the symbol. When that didn’t work, they stole the whole election.
Now they want to raise the voting age to 25. If an 18 year old can take a bullet for this country, why can’t he be allowed to vote?
This is not policy. This is panic. They fear you and it does not get more naked than this.
@ImranKhanPTI
Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi remain illegally imprisoned and are being subjected to systematic psychological and physical torture through unlawful isolation.
For the past seven months, Imran Khan has been kept in solitary confinement. He has been denied access to his family, his personal doctors, and even basic human rights including books, which he has not been allowed for the last five months.
At this moment, our primary demand is clear: Imran Khan must immediately be shifted to Shifa International Hospital for comprehensive medical examinations and proper treatment for his eye condition.
Today, the 12th of May, CM Sohail Afridi, along with the entire KP Assembly, members of the Punjab Assembly, members of the National Assembly, and Senators from PTI, will come to Adiala Jail to stand in solidarity with their leader, Imran Khan.
Their presence will highlight the issue both nationally and internationally, the ongoing mistreatment and psychological torture being inflicted upon Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi. It is also intended to build pressure on this government (a government brought into power through stolen mandate from Imran Khan) to immediately transfer him to Shifa International Hospital without any further delay.
Our family once again strongly urges Imran Khan’s supporters NOT to come to Adiala Jail today. Police will not arrest elected representatives and Senators, but the supporters remain at serious risk of arrest and mistreatment.
PTI Leadership, NOW is the time when Imran Khan Needs You!
The impact of hundreds of elected members (Senators, MNAs and MPAs) of KP and Punjab assemblies at Adiala will be huge.
It WILL create the necessary pressure on this Govt (who is in power by stealing Imran Khan’s mandate) to get Imran Khan treated at Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad.
It is an urgent and necessary pressure for Dogar court to take up Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi’s bail applications and set them FREE.
Police usually arrests Imran Khan’s supporters; not the family or elected members. We appeal to Imran Khan’s supporters (who are not office holders) NOT to come to Adiala today.
Our family has appealed to all party office holders, senior leadership, MNAs, MPAs, and Senators to come to Adiala Jail this Tuesday to build pressure on the government to:
1. Allow immediate access for Imran Khan’s lawyers and family.
2. Transfer Imran Khan to Shifa International Hospital for proper medical examination and treatment, in the presence of specialists, his personal doctor, and family.
3. Ensure Chief Justice Dogar takes up the bail applications of Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi so they can be released from this illegal imprisonment without delay.
Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi are being held in solitary confinement, one of the harshest forms of treatment in violation of Pakistani law and international human rights standards.
#PAKWatch🇵🇰: Today, TENS OF THOUSANDS of Pakistanis gathered in Mardan to demand the IMMEDIATE RELEASE OF IMRAN KHAN.
PAK = NO RULE OF LAW = 3RD WORLD
FREE CAPTAIN PAKISTAN.
My sons Sulaiman & @kasim_khan_1999 applied for visas in January (again… ) to allow them to visit their father @ImranKhanPTI in Pakistan. The Pakistan consulate states that online visa processing normally takes 7–10 working days. It has now been 60 days. This despite the public promise that they could safely travel there to see their father after 4 years, made by both Defence Minister @khawajaMAsif to @mehdirhasan & PM spokesperson @mosharrafzaidi to @SkyYaldaHakim
Meanwhile, they are not allowed to speak to him on the phone, nor send him a letter. They haven’t seen him since 2022 after he was shot in an assassination attempt.
This is an appeal directly to Pakisan’s PM @CMShehbaz to please allow Imran Khan’s two sons to see their father asap, particularly since, by all accounts, his health is in decline.
Imran Khan is the legitimate PM of Pakistan and was ousted at Washington's behest for the crime of trading with Russia, safeguarding Pakistan's interests, and criticizing US foreign policy. He's still in prison almost 3 years later, in solitary confinement.
Given the horrific destruction that Israel’s extremist government has wrought on Gaza, Iran and Lebanon, the last thing in the world American taxpayers need to do right now is to provide 22,000 new bombs to the Netanyahu government.
No more weapons to support an illegal war.
Hey White House, please remove the Tropic Thunder clip. We never gave you permission and have no interest in being a part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie.
Beyond condemning Trump’s bombing of Iran, Spanish Prime Minister Sánchez has lamented Trump’s “unjustified and unfair” tariffs. He has described Trump’s plans to move Palestinians from Gaza as “immoral” and described Israel’s conduct there as “genocide.”https://t.co/9Js5d1D0E7
Trump said we had to attack Iran because we can‘t allow it “to have a nuclear weapon.” Really?
This is the same president who, in June, said: “Iran’s nuclear facilities have been obliterated.”
Vietnam. Iraq. Iran. Another lie. Another war.
Negotiations with Iran seemed doomed from the outset regardless of the position taken by Tehran because Trump (and Netanyahu) were looking for a pretext for regime change. https://t.co/in3lVlUS0c
UNESCO says the bombing of a girls' primary school during the US and Israeli military attacks on Iran on Saturday "constitutes a grave violation of humanitarian law." Around 150 were reported killed and almost 100 wounded.

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war. Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace.
I am focused on making sure that every New Yorker is safe. I have been in contact with our Police Commissioner and emergency management officials. We are taking proactive steps, including increasing coordination across agencies and enhancing patrols of sensitive locations out of an abundance of caution.
Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.
"Imran Khan has endured the kind of imprisonment in his 70's, many of us can't think of bearing in our 20's even.
Imagine being tortured by complete blackout for days in isolation, being denied access to family, vision loss and wasted years, but still denying all deals."
