I have written to the Foreign Secretary calling for an immediate statement given the escalation of state repression in Pakistan.
It is vital we ensure that democracy and the rule of law are upheld in Pakistan to prevent further unrest and violence.
Today in the House of Commons I was pleased to present petitions in support of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan and against his arbitrary detention. 🇨🇦 🇵🇰 🇨🇦 🇵🇰

#Pakistan🇵🇰 International Human Rights Foundation expresses grave concern at the conditions of detention of Pakistan's legitimate Prime Minister Imran Khan.
16 October 2024 - New York City, USA.
The International Human Rights Foundation (IHRF) urgently draws attention to the alarming conditions of detention of His Excellency Mr Imran Khan, the legitimate Prime Minister of Pakistan. This matter is of the utmost importance and requires immediate international scrutiny.
Reports have emerged that Mr Khan is being held in conditions that violate basic human rights standards, including limited access to legal counsel, inadequate medical care and restrictions on family visits. Such treatment not only undermines the rule of law, but also violates international conventions to which Pakistan is a signatory.
«We are deeply concerned about the welfare of Prime Minister Imran Khan», said Mrs. Maria Claudia Cambi, president of the Board of Trustees of the IHRF. «The conditions of his detention raise serious questions about the commitment of the Pakistani authorities to uphold fundamental human rights and legal protections».
IHRF strongly expresses its full support for Mr Khan and calls on the Government of Pakistan to immediately improve the conditions of his detention to meet international human rights standards, allow full access to legal counsel and family members, and ensure transparency in all legal proceedings against him.
We also urge the international community, human rights organisations and allied nations to monitor this situation closely and to advocate for the fair and humane treatment of Mr Khan.
IHRF stands ready to work with all relevant stakeholders to ensure that justice and human rights are upheld in this critical case. #HumanRights #IHRF #ImranKhan #PTI
