@patcummins30 Thanks pat for raising the voice against the injustice.

Adding my support here to GC and the other former international captains. I hope the court ordered medical assessment be allowed to run its course, and that family visits continue. I hope Imran Khan is treated with the dignity anyone deserves

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.

FREE IMRAN KHAN

[Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal]

🇵🇰 Imran Khan's personal physician says he was tricked by Pakistani authorities during last night's hospital saga.

Dr. Faisal Sultan told reporters he was taken into police custody on his way to Adiala Jail, believing he was being brought to see Imran.

Instead he was driven in a convoy to Shifa International Hospital, while officials acted as though Imran was with them.

He says he waited nearly 4 hours, asking again and again where Imran was. Each time, he was told the former prime minister was on his way.

Then they told him Imran had already been taken back to Adiala.

If everything here was above board, why put his doctor in a fake convoy and leave him waiting on a patient who was never coming?

The sons of the imprisoned former leader of Pakistan Imran Khan told CNN they fear for their father's health, claiming authorities in the South Asian country are preventing them from seeing him.

Pakistan's government said it "categorically rejects" the claim that Khan has faced a communication blackout or been denied access to his family, lawyers and doctors. Read more: https://t.co/FZSRdjTfaC

Justice for sister Aafia Siddiqui!

[Kasim Khan @Kasim_Khan_1999]

It has now been around 1,100 days since my father, Imran Khan, was imprisoned, and my brother and I haven’t heard his voice since March. For months, we’ve been denied contact with him. We remain in the dark about his access to healthcare as his eyesight continues to deteriorate. He urgently needs medical attention, and with no family or legal access, we don’t even get any second hand information or reassurance.

I’ve found myself especially missing him recently. I want to speak to him about mundane things like my cricket, books I’ve been reading and what new movies are good. I understand the people of Pakistan want their chosen leader free, but I miss my father more than ever.

But this is not just about a father. It is about Pakistan, and its future. A rigged, authoritarian regime continues to crush political opposition, undermine democratic institutions, and deny millions of Pakistanis their right to freely choose their leaders, whilst terrorising those who speak their beliefs.

I once again plea to the international community to not look away. Silence in the face of injustice only enables it.

Israel bombed a funeral yesterday in Gaza. At least 8 dead and 20 injured.
A funeral.
Still silent?

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Ashura is a time of remembrance, sacrifice and reflection. 

Today, on the 10th day of Muharram, we are reminded of Imam Hussain's unwavering commitment to truth and dignity. His timeless legacy reminds us of the enduring values of faith, service to one another, and the belief that justice is always worth fighting for.

Our City’s strength comes from the many faith traditions that shape it — and our shared struggle against injustice and oppression.

May we carry these values forward as we continue building a more just City for every New Yorker.

في مشهد يهز الضمير الإنساني، وثقت الكاميرا لحظات
احتضار طفل فلسـ.طيني بعد أن استهدفه قـ.ناص إسـ.رائيـ.لي بدم بارد.
الطفل ينزف ببطء، وحده، دون أن يُسمح لأحد بإنقاذه...
صرخة البراءة التي خنقت أمام صمت العالم.
كم من الأطفال يجب أن يسقطوا حتى يتحرك الضمير؟

[Imran Khan @ImranKhanPTI]

There is a genocide of Palestinians going on & it is utterly condemnable to see how the powerful are allowing it to happen with impunity. Israel is being allowed to break all international laws as it commits war crimes & crimes against humanity in its massacre of the Palestinian people. The Muslim world must not just raise their voice against this but should move to ensure an end to the #GazaGenocide.
Our people will not forgive us if we do not stand on the side of justice and humanity.
