🚨BREAKING: For the first time, the original Pakistani cypher — cable I-0678, the document that triggered the removal of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan — is being released in full by Drop Site.
I am concerned to hear about Imran Khan’s vision loss while in detention. Former PM Khan deserves urgent medical care and due process. The Pakistani Canadian community is rightfully worried. I join them in calling for full respect for the human rights of all people in Pakistan.
A reminder that @ImranKhanPTI is in prison because he would win a free election. He has now lost 85 per cent of vision in one eye. He MUST be allowed to see his own doctor.
The decisions made in the next few days by the authorities in Islamabad will be noted and remembered.
Sen. Chris Van Hollen pointed to Pakistan as a stark example of U.S. hypocrisy in foreign policy, citing Washington’s backing of military rule after Imran Khan’s removal. “It’s hard to call Pakistan a democracy,” he said, acknowledging it as one of several examples where U.S. is “saying one thing and doing another.”
Under Trump, he added, even the pretense is gone: “You have an administration that just very explicitly has thrown the whole idea that America stands for these principles overboard,” a double standard that “undermines our strength around the world, especially in the Global South.”

Independent media continues to call out Pakistan’s authoritarian regime when others stay silent.
A personal plea to @elonmusk
My two sons have not been allowed to see or speak to their father Imran Khan who has been held unlawfully (acc to the UN) for 22 months of solitary confinement.
X is the only place left where we can still tell the world he is a political prisoner without basic human rights.
Yet every time I post about him, the reach inside Pakistan (and often globally) is throttled to almost zero.
You promised free speech, not “speech but no one hears it”.
Please fix the visibility filtering on my account so we can get the message out! @MarioNawfal

Flattery can get one far, but it can also go too far. Pakistan can certainly help its cause w/Trump. But it also risks putting itself in a position in the future where Trump assumes it’s fully in his corner, resulting in big & uncomfortable asks of Pak—like recognizing Israel.
