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.
“We haven't seen our father for three years and haven't been able to speak to him for months. It's obviously brutal. It seems like they're trying to break him.”

کبھی ناامیدی والا ایموشن آئے آپ کے دل میں تو بس اس بندے کا جذبہ چیک کریں جو مشکل ترین جیل میں بھی پر امید ہے۔ آسان راستے پر تو سب چل اٹھتے ہیں مگر آپ سب سوشل میڈیا والے اس راستے پر ہیں جس میں مشکلات کچھ زیادہ ہی ہیں مگر مظبوط ایمان ہے سب کا کہ جیت حق کی ہوگی۔ بس چلتے رہنا ہے اور ہار نہیں ماننی!
چلو تو سہی، چلو تو سہی
اعتبار بھی آہی جائے گا، آ ہی جائے گا

Please watch & share this interview my boys Sulaiman & Kasim did about their father, Imran Khan, who has been held in solitary confinement for almost 2 years despite the UN ruling that his detention is arbitrary & unlawful. Proud Amma.
“Loss of human life in Pahlgam incident is deeply disturbing and tragic. I extend my deepest condolences to the victims and their families.
When the False Flag Palwama Operation incident happened, we offered to extend all-out cooperation to India but India failed to produce any concrete evidence. As I predicted in 2019, the same is happening again after Pahlgam incident. Instead of introspection and investigation, Modi Sarkar is again placing the blame on Pakistan.
Being a country of 1.5 billion people, India needs to act responsibly instead of messing with a region already known as “nuclear flashpoint.” Peace is our priority but it should not be mistaken as cowardice. Pakistan has got all the capabilities to give a befitting response to any Indian misadventure, as My Government, backed by whole nation, did in 2019.
I have always emphasized the importance of the Kashmiris’ right to self-determination, as guaranteed by United Nations resolutions.
I have also been highlighting the fact that India led by RSS ideology is a grave threat, not only to the region but beyond it. Indian oppression in Kashmir, intensified after the illegal abrogation of Article 370, has further fueled the Kashmiri people’s desire for freedom.
Sadly, the nation has been divided by an illegitimate government imposed through fraudulent Form-47 results. And yet, ironically, Narendra Modi’s aggression has united the people of Pakistan in one voice against Indian hostility. While we reject this fake regime, we stand firmly as one Pakistani nation and strongly condemn Modi's war-mongering and his dangerous ambitions that threaten regional peace.
Needless to say, to win the war against an external enemy, the nation must first be united. It is high time to put a halt to all actions that are further polarizing the nation. The state’s excessive focus on political victimisation at this critical time is deepening internal divisions and undermining the nation’s collective ability to confront external threats.
It is naive to expect any strong stance from self-serving figures like Nawaz Sharif and Asif Zardari. They will never speak out against India because their illegal wealth and business interests lie abroad. They profit from foreign investments, and to protect those financial interests, they remain silent in the face of foreign aggression and baseless allegations against Pakistan. Their fear is simple: that Indian lobbies might freeze their offshore assets if they dare to speak the truth.”

عام انتخابات کے حوالے سے بانی چیئرمین پاکستان تحریک انصاف کا اڈیالہ جیل سے قوم کے نام پیغام :
فروری 8 آزادی اور غلامی میں فرق کا دن ہے،
مجھے یقین اور اعتماد ہے کہ میری قوم آزادی کے ساتھ کھڑی ہے، اپنے ووٹ سے پاکستان کی آزادی کو محفوظ بنائے گی،
قوم کو غلامی کی زنجیروں میں جکڑنے والا گروہ 8 فروری کو انتخاب پر ڈاکہ ڈال کر قوم کو غلامی کی زنجیروں میں جکڑنا چاہتا ہے،
قوم کو غلام بنائے رکھنے کیلئے لندن منصوبے کے تحت ایک سرٹیفائیڈ مجرم کو انصاف کا قتل کرکے وطن واپس لایا گیا ہے،
اس سرٹیفائیڈ مجرم کو عوام کی مرضی کے برعکس ملک پر مسلّط کرنے کیلئے عدل کے نظام کو تباہ و برباد اور آئین کی دھجیاں اڑائی گئی ہیں،
سیاست کے ریلو کٹّے کو میچ جتوانے کیلئے بلّے کا نشان چھین کر اکیلے میدان میں اتارا گیا ہے مگر اس کے باوجود بدترین دھاندلی کی کوششیں کی جارہی ہیں،
میری قوم خصوصاً ماؤں، بہنوں، بیٹیوں اور میرے کارکنان نے ہمّت اور دلیری سے ظلم کا مقابلہ کرکے میرا سر فخر سے بلند کیا ہے،
جیل میں بیٹھ کر اللہ کے فضل اور اپنی قوم کی مدد سے ان سارے مجرموں کو آئین و قانون کے اندر ��ہتے ہوئے شکست دوں گا،
رائے عامہ کے تمام آزاد اندازے تحریک انصاف کی بے پناہ مقبولیت اور تین چوتھائی جیسی تاریخی اکثریت سے انتخاب کے اشارے دے رہے ہیں،
قوم آزادی کا انتخاب کرکے تحریک انصاف کو قانون کی حکمرانی، دستور کی بالادستی اور جمہوریت کی بحالی کا مینڈیٹ دینا چاہتی ہے،
دستور مخالف قوتیں 8 فروری کا انتخاب لوٹ کر قوم کو غلام رکھنے میں کامیاب ہوئیں تو چور اُچکّے راج کریں گے اور ملک کی کشتی مزید بھنور میں اترے گی،
ظلم اور جبر سے ملک کو لاقانونیت کی راہ پر ڈالنے والوں سے اپنے ووٹ کی طاقت سے حساب لینا ہوگا،
دھونس اور دھاندلی کی بےپناہ ریاستی کوششوں کے باوجود ع��ام کو 8 فروری کو نکل کر آزادی اور غلامی میں سے کسی ایک کا فیصلہ کن انداز میں تعیّن کرنا ہوگا،
چاہتا ہوں میری قوم کا ہر فرد تیاری کرے اور اپنے ووٹ کے ذریعے پاکستان کو دستور و قانون کی راہ پر ڈالنے کیلئے 8 فروری کو ووٹ ڈالے اور اپنے ووٹ کی حفاظت یقینی بنائے-
“All means of removing me from the political landscape were used. There were two assassination attempts on my life.” @ImranKhanPTI writes from prison that his party is being unfairly muzzled, in a guest essay for The Economist https://t.co/fjxBaqJ87B
Chairman Imran Khan's message to the people of Pakistan shared through his family on the 10th of October:
“When I was illegally incarcerated in Attock Jail, the first few days were particularly challenging. I wasn’t provided a bed and had to sleep on the floor and had insects and mosquitoes all over me. But with time I have adjusted well to the prison conditions.
𝐋𝐞𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐚 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐦𝐫𝐚𝐧 𝐊𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐧�� 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐦𝐫𝐚𝐧 𝐊𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝟓. 𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫; 𝐬��𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲, 𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲, 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞.
During my time in prison, I have had the opportunity to study and research the Holy Quran in depth, along with other books which has strengthened my faith. I was also able to introspect the last few years of my political life.
Regardless of what prison they keep me in, whatever conditions they impose upon me, I will not back down even an inch from the quest of Haqeeqi Azadi, for the upholding of the rule of law and the Constitution of Pakistan, at the core of which is free and fair elections. To those suggesting that I leave the country, know that I will live and die with Pakistan, and I will not leave my land to go anywhere.
As far as the Cipher case is concerned, this bogus case is designed to protect former Army Chief General Bajwa and Donald Lu. I was the elected Prime Minister of the country. Treason was committed against me and my govt by General Bajwa, instead of investigating the foreign conspiracy in orchestrating a regime change, a case has been filed against me for informing the people of Pakistan, the real protectors of this country, about this treason.
If there’s one thing that bothers & pains me, is the suffering of my workers who have been illegally imprisoned, especially our women workers who have been in captivity for months, by a few people who abuse their power to satisfy their egos. I appeal to the judiciary to provide justice and order the immediate release of our workers.
Finally, Do not give up. This time of trial will end because Allah says that "with every difficulty there is ease". Keep raising your voice against this unelected predatory group and their facilitators at every forum and keep demanding a fair and transparent election in the country.
I am predicting that on whatever day the election is held, people of Pakistan will come out in huge numbers to vote for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf and defeat all these parties combined. No matter how much these people cheat, their only destiny is defeat.
Pakistan Zindabad.”
Never let Imran Khan in jail get normalized. Every day, every hour and every minute shall be condemned. Even the World representatives are now saying that laws applied to arrest IK are not applied anywhere in the world. Let's keep praying and giving Sadqa! #ReleaseImranKhan
Dear all,
Whatever you do, do not get hopeless! If we hang in there together, we will come out of this dark phase, promise! Justice murdered today but #ImranKhan has won - he stood tall on his stance & didn't run away. What a Legend! Let's do peaceful protests for his release.
