🇵🇰 Imran Khan's sister, Aleema, has been detained by police for 30 days under Pakistan's Maintenance of Public Order ordinance
It's no coincidence they arrested her days before the PTI’s nationwide protest, scheduled to take place on September 27
Her supporters are calling it "intimidation, suppression and an attempt to weaken peaceful public mobilisation"
If anything, though, her detention will be a rallying cry, leading thousands more to take to the streets

Very powerful and much needed intervention from former Prime Minister @BorisJohnson calling on Pakistan to free @ImranKhanPTI
“What the Pakistani generals fear is that if they let him out, his millions of fans in Pakistan will simply bear him aloft to a tumultuous victory in the next available election. That is why they are treating him with such cruelty – refusing even to allow his two sons, Sulaiman and Kasim, to have visas to visit him in jail.”

Former Prime Minister Imran Khan in Conversation with Members of his Family - Adiala Jail (July 1, 2025)

“Instead of going through the formality of introducing a 27th constitutional amendment through a sham parliament, it would be better to openly declare a monarchy, because what exists today is outright dictatorship, forcibly imposed on the country.
The very foundation of Pakistan was laid on La Ilaha Illallah (There is no god except Allah), a declaration that liberates mankind from all forms of slavery. Our country was freed from British rule through immense sacrifices to establish a nation where every citizen would enjoy personal liberties. But the situation is completely the opposite. A mafia seeks to keep the entire nation enslaved. I am willing to endure solitary confinement in a dark prison cell, but I will never accept slavery. And that is my message to everyone: it is better to choose imprisonment than to live in such bondage. What is the value of freedom if, outside these walls, we are not truly free? Iqbal’s Shaheen (eagle) soars high, it does not live in servitude.
I give this call to the entire nation, especially to the workers and supporters of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf: Launch a movement after Ashura against the tyrannical system that has gripped this country. For me, death would be better than accepting a system built on slavery.
Every attempt is being made to suppress my voice so that my message does not reach the people and no one dares to stand up against oppression. But I will resist tyranny until my very last breath. I have complete faith in my Creator that this shadow of injustice will soon be lifted from Pakistan.
There are four pillars integral to any democracy: the right to vote, the rule of law, moral integrity, and a free press. The 26th Constitutional Amendment has effectively dismantled all four:
1. The Right to Vote: A dictator has no need for public mandate; he governs through force. The illegitimate assemblies formed via Forms-47, and the subsequent distribution of reserved seats, have only reinforced the perception among the people that their votes hold no value.
2. The Rule of Law: The judiciary has been reduced to a subordinate department of the government. Courts are packed with handpicked judges, while independent judges have been silenced. This is a hallmark of martial law, not democracy.
3. Moral Fabric of Society: This amendment has buried all ethical values. Individuals who are not true representatives of the people now occupy seats in the assemblies. Horse-trading of assembly members continues with impunity, and even the judiciary operates under the thumb of this mafia.
4. Free Media: Under a dictatorship, the media is bound in chains. Freedom of expression has been entirely curbed. Independent journalists are being targeted, while the rest have been bought off.
Peaceful protest is a fundamental democratic and constitutional right. Yet, 26 of our MPAs were suspended for staging a protest in the Punjab Assembly. I commend Ahmad Bhachar and all PTI MPAs who had the courage to challenge these pharaohs. Until our 26 members are reinstated, our elected representatives should hold their own assembly outside. The Form-47-based assemblies do not represent the people, in any case.”

“We have knocked on every door, but no one has listened. I had asked for dialogue only once, and that too was conditional upon commissions to investigate the events of November 26th (2024) and May 9th (2023) being formed. It was Asim Munir who ordered the shooting of unarmed civilians on November 26th. I reiterate there is no longer any room for dialogue because this group has completely hijacked the entire system.
I have instructed Barrister Gohar, Salman Akram Raja, Ali Amin Gandapur, and Junaid Akbar to ensure the protest movement runs with full force. The objective of this movement must be the restoration of justice, the supremacy of law, and the protection of the Constitution. If we fail to raise our voices in the streets, this group of oppressors will gradually finish off our parliamentary party as well. I am standing firm; all of you must also stand firm.
Eighty percent of the people of Pakistan stand with me and we are entitled to fight for our rights. I am aware that 90% of the electoral fraud took place between polling and the compilation of results. I campaigned for the implementation of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) for two years. If EVMs had been used on February 8th (2024), the game would have ended there and then. I still say today: if transparent elections are desired, EVMs must be introduced, and rigging will end once and for all.”
منیب صاحب! آپ کی رائے کا احترام کرتے ہیں۔ صدرِ مملکت کے پاس اختیار ہوتا ہے کہ وہ سمری واپس بھیج دیں یا اسے 15 دن تک اپنے پاس رکھیں۔ اگر عارف علوی صاحب یا عمران خان صاحب نہیں چاہتے تھے تو کیا سمری منظور ہو جاتی؟ لانگ مارچ کرنے سے بہتر تھا کہ وہ سمری واپس بھیج دیتے۔
چیف جسٹس صاحب کی تعیناتی لانگ مارچ سے نہیں روکی جا سکتی تھی، کیونکہ جو جج سینیارٹی میں سب سے آگے تھا، وہی چیف جسٹس بنتا۔
میں اسکرپٹ نہیں پڑھتا، جو صحیح سمجھتا ہوں وہی بولتا ہوں، چاہے پارٹی کو اچھا لگے یا برا، یا کسی اور کو۔
مریم صفدر صاحبہ! آپ اور کیپٹن صفدر صاحب کے پاس تو بیرونِ ملک تو کیا، پاکستان میں بھی کوئی جائیداد نہیں تھی، تو پھر یہ پیسے آپ کے پاس کہاں سے آئے؟ چار ارب روپے کے ہار کی رقم کہاں سے آئی؟ یہ قوم کو بتایا جائے۔
WHAT WAS MY FAULT ?
Last night, I opened the doors of my home to CM KP Sohail Afridi when he was out on the streets of Punjab.
What happened next unfolded in front of the whole world, authorities raided my home and destroyed everything inside. Completely decimated.
I am a white-collar man who built this home with hard work, dignity, and halal earnings, with my own sweat and toil. Where are my parents supposed to go now? Who do I turn to for justice? I leave my case to Allah.
اِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيْدٌ
بے شک تیرے رب کی پکڑ بہت سخت ہے۔
یہ میرا گھر ہے جس کو تباہ کر دیا گیا قصور یہ کہ وزیراعلی سہیل آفریدی کو گھر میں رہنے کے لیے جگہ کیوں دی ؟ میرے گھر کی کوئی چیز نہیں چھوڑی قیمتی چیزیں ساتھ لے گئے ہیں
میں کس سے سوال کروں ؟ کونسی عدالت مجھے انصاف دے گی کیا کوئی عدالت پوچھے گی ؟ یہ کس نےکیا ہے ایجنسیوں نے کیا ہے پولیس نے کیا ہے پنجاب حکومت نےکیاہے کس کیا ہے ؟
ہمارے خون پسینے کی کمائی سے بنا گھر آج تباہ کر دیا گیا۔ ہم کہاں رہیں کہاں جائیں؟ کوئی ہے مجھے انصاف دلوانے والا؟
