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
“This is a humanitarian appeal… increasing concerns about health and well being of Imran Khan… one of the greatest players… increasing sense of urgency around his health…”

Pakistan threatened Lord’s Test boycott after broadcaster Sky Sports telecast interview with Imran Khan’s two sons which was actually recorded at the Lord’s Long Room a day before the Test. PCB wanted SKY not to air the interview during Lunch break else they wouldn’t take the field post Lunch.
The 18-min interview done by Michael Atherton (one of the 21 captains to sign the letter to Pak PM) was shown and Pak did take the field too

🇵🇰 Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed criticized Pakistan’s military “dictatorship” Sunday, saying “democracy is not being allowed to take its place.”
Speaking at the Pakistan Association of America’s annual gathering in metro Detroit, El-Sayed condemned the imprisonment and intimidation of political leaders, including former Prime Minister Imran Khan, and called for human rights and democratic governance.
El-Sayed drew a parallel to Egypt, where his parents immigrated from, citing its history of military dictatorship and arguing that neither government should be shielded from criticism, or receive US aid, simply because they are U.S. allies.
Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed criticizes Munir’s military dictatorship, saying “democracy is not being allowed to take its place” in Pakistan. Celebrating Pakistan’s Independence Day in Detroit, El-Sayed condemned jailing of Imran Khan & others.
BREAKING NEWS: 22 Former international cricket captains have once again written a letter to Pakistan PM over the treatment for Imran Khan. They first wrote a similar letter in February and this one comes after Pak allegedly didn’t completely comply with SC directions.
They have laid down 3 demands:
1. That the medical board directed by the Supreme Court — including Mr Khan's own doctors — be permitted to complete a full and independent assessment of his health, particularly the reported loss of vision in his right eye.
2. That the weekly family visits reinstated by the Court be honoured without interruption or administrative delay.
3. That whatever the outcome of that medical assessment, the treatment recommended by it be provided without delay.
Three Indians - Kapil Dev, Sunil Gavaskar and Dilip Vengsarkar are among the 22 former captains.

They are running the Morsi playbook step by step.
Mohamed Morsi wasn’t just lost in a courtroom—he was slowly killed through years of deliberate medical neglect, denied access to independent doctors, and isolated behind state secrecy until his body gave out.
In an interview, Salman Akram Raja @salmanAraja lays out the exact same trajectory: court orders ignored, independent medical boards blocked, and critical symptoms like blood clot and severe blood pressure spikes swept under the rug.
It's a calculated strategy. We must demand transparent, immediate medical care now.

میں نے مارچ 2023 کے دوسرے ہفتے زمان پارک میں زبردست آپریشن کے دوران عمران خان صاحب سے پوچھا تھا کہ آپ نے لوگوں کو حقیقی آزادی کا نعرہ تو دے دیا ہے اسکا بوجھ اٹھا پائیں گے تو مجھے انکے الفاظ آج بھی یاد ہیں " ہمارے پاس اب اور کوئی راستہ نہیں۔ پاکستان اسکے بغیر آگے نہیں بڑھ سکتا"۔
پھر عمران خان نے وہ بوجھ جوانوں سے بڑھ کر اٹھایا۔
آج جوانوں کی باری ہے۔
وہ نہ کسی آئین کو مانتے ہیں، نہ قانون، نہ پارلیمنٹ اور نہ ہی عدالت کو مانتے ہیں۔ اب ہمارے پاس ایک ہی راستہ ہے کہ سڑکوں پر آئیں اور لوگوں کو باہر نکالیں۔
بہت بڑے چ بیٹھے ہیں یہاں، اندر مہاراج بھرتی تو ہو گے اب ذرا Satire اور real statement کا فرق تو پہچان لو۔
پہلے بھی کہا ہے آپ صرف پاکستانیوں کو امور خانہ دادی پہ ہی بتلایا کریں سیاست کا میدان آپکے بس کی بات نہیں
