Pakistani-Canadian twin activists Maryam and Nivaal @theworldwithmnr speak out about the dire state of democracy and ongoing human rights violations in Pakistan. It should be a collective effort by the global community to put pressure on Pakistan’s military regime to restore democracy, uphold human rights, and protect the rule of law, principles that have been undermined since the ouster of former Prime Minister Imran Khan. #FreeImranKhan

[Seminar Highlights]
At the “Human Rights Violations in Pakistan: A Canadian Conversation” seminar, Pakistani Canadian guest speakers brought both perspectives to the discussion; speaking as Pakistanis deeply connected to their homeland and as Canadians grounded in democratic values and human rights. Through their experiences, expertise, and insights, they presented a strong case for why the situation in Pakistan deserves greater attention, particularly around fundamental rights, democracy, rule of law, and freedom of expression.

“Democracy matters. Human rights matter. They matter here in Canada and they matter in Pakistan. We all need to stand together and do what we can.”

Eric Duncan, Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs in Canada, [@EricDuncanSDG] gave his remarks and shared his message about human rights violations in Pakistan.

He addressed the event organized by Overseas Pakistanis in Mississauga, Canada, today, sharing how he was approached by MP Michael Kram to prioritize the unlawful incarceration of Pakistan’s former Prime Minister, Imran Khan; he urged that the Canadian government should listen to the concerns of Pakistani Canadian diaspora and take a more leadership role in standing up to represent these voices.

“Calls, emails, petitions, direct feedback, and GTA focus groups, the message was consistent” Member of Parliament, Michael Kram remarks illustrate how the Pakistani diaspora brought concerns about democracy and human rights in Pakistan into his parliamentary focus.

Democracy, human rights, free and fair elections, and Imran Khan’s release are important issues that require political attention. Michael Kram’s remarks also highlight the role of constituents in informing elected representatives and shaping parliamentary discussion.

“This is an important moment for the world to focus on Pakistan, where not only former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife have been detained, but even members of his extended family. It reinforces the fear this regime has of Imran Khan, what he stands for, and what he means to his people.”- @JaredGenser, international legal counsel for Imran Khan speaks to @abcnews.

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.

خان کے ساتھ ڈرامہ اور پاکستانی قوم :
جو کچھ فوج نے اور اسکے سہولت کاروں نے خان اور پاکستان کی سپریم کورٹ کے ساتھ کیا سب کی آنکھیں کھولنے کے لئے کافی ہے - یہ درندے ، فوجی ، صرف اپنی طاقت ، لوٹا ہوا پیسا اور جاگیروں کے دفاع کے لئے ہیں انہیں نہ پ��کستان کی فکر ہے نہ عوام کی - تو اب کیا کریں ؟
پاکستانی عوام اور خاص کر جوان لوگ سمجھ لیں یہ لاتوں کے بھوت ہیں ، باتوں سے ماننے والے نہیں - ان کے لئے بنگلہ دیش ، سری لنکا یا نیپال کا طریقہ علاج ضروری ہے اور جب تک جوان اپنی زندگی داؤ پر لگا کر ان کا مقابلہ کرنے اور قربانی دینے نہیں نکلیں گے یہ اسی طرح ظلم اور جبر کرتے رہیں گے اور عوام مظلوم بنے رہیں گے - یہ کسی کی فکر نہیں کرتے کیونکہ بندوق انکے پاس ہے
مگر بندوق تو ہر پٹھان ، افغان اور غیرت مند پاکستانی کے پاس بھی ہے ، ابھی صرف استعمال کرنے کا فیصلہ نہیں کیا -
اس لوٹ مار اور جبر اور بے انصافی کے نظام کو الٹنے کی ضرورت ہے اور یہ مجبور کر رہے ہیں کہ پاکستان میں خانہ جنگی شروع ہو جائے، عوام بغاوت کر دیں اور پھر نظام الٹ جائے - یہ گھی سیدھی انگلی سے نہیں نکلے گا ، عوام سوچ لیں -
