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.
#EndUnlawfulDetentionOfKhan
Tuesday is a family and lawyers meeting day with Imran Khan. This is his right under the jail manual, reinforced by a full bench High Court order permitting us to meet our brother.
For over a year, we have traveled to Adiala Jail every Tuesday, only to be stopped by Punjab Police before reaching the gate. Officers have openly stated that court orders hold no value for them. On rare occasions, after prolonged protest and mounting pressure, one or two of us sisters have been allowed inside. In the past five months, our sister Dr. Uzma Khan has been permitted to meet him only three times, once each in October, November, and December 2025.
Every Tuesday, we continue to wait outside Adiala Jail in protest, demanding that this government respect his legal and constitutional right to meet his family and lawyers. We are there not only to assert his rights, but to stand in solidarity, so he knows we are present, and that he is not alone.
Imran Khan has been kept in solitary confinement for six months under brutal conditions, while Bushra Bibi is being held the same way. Their freedom is being deliberately blocked by the Chief Justice of the Islamabad High Court, who refuses to fix their bail hearings.
Imran Khan has made it clear that the judiciary is no longer independent, it is acting like a tool of the government. Judges assigned to his cases are not delivering justice; they are ensuring hearings never happen. The reality is simple: the moment this case is heard, its weak and baseless nature will be exposed, and bail will become unavoidable. That is exactly why it is being stalled. Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi continued imprisonment is due to Judge Dogar, who is openly facilitating a government that came to power by stealing Imran Khan’s mandate.
Through Salman Safdar, Imran Khan has sent a message, his wife is being pushed to the edge by prolonged isolation. He has said he can endure this ظلم himself, but she is being broken to force him into submission. The pressure is deliberate, calculated, and inhumane. He said clearly “no deal, no surrender! It is liberty or death.”
My sons Sulaiman & @kasim_khan_1999 applied for visas in January (again… ) to allow them to visit their father @ImranKhanPTI in Pakistan. The Pakistan consulate states that online visa processing normally takes 7–10 working days. It has now been 60 days. This despite the public promise that they could safely travel there to see their father after 4 years, made by both Defence Minister @khawajaMAsif to @mehdirhasan & PM spokesperson @mosharrafzaidi to @SkyYaldaHakim
Meanwhile, they are not allowed to speak to him on the phone, nor send him a letter. They haven’t seen him since 2022 after he was shot in an assassination attempt.
This is an appeal directly to Pakisan’s PM @CMShehbaz to please allow Imran Khan’s two sons to see their father asap, particularly since, by all accounts, his health is in decline.
#WhatAreTheyHiding
From the news, we found out that Imran Khan was taken to PIMS again in the middle of the night, supposedly for his second injection in the eye.
When the law requires that family be informed before any medical procedure is conducted on a prisoner, why was the family not informed?
We do not trust the diagnosis or test reports from Government medical facilities. There are already reports coming from PIMS that the doctors are being threatened with serious consequences if any information is leaked about Imran Khan.
What are they Hiding?
Our family rejects their reports even if they issue these doctored reports to the public. We stand by our demand that Imran Khan be examined and treated in Shifa International (Islamabad) by specialists, under the supervision of Imran Khan’s personal doctors and in the presence of his family.
PIMS (Govt Hospital) is not equipped to treat anyone for the alleged condition that has developed in Imran Khan’s eye.
It is criminal what this Government is doing, and they will be held accountable for each and every violation and crime they are committing against Imran Khan.
#ShiftKhanToShifaInternational
اگر آپ واقعی گھر بیٹھے عمران خان کے لیے کچھ کرنا چاہتے ہیں تو پھر جذباتی باتیں نہیں، عملی حکمت عملی اپنائیں۔
سب سے پہلے اپنے سوشل میڈیا کو سنجیدگی سے استعمال کریں۔
ایکس (X) کھولیں، سرچ ٹیب میں عمران خان کا نام لکھیں، صرف 'Top' نہیں بلکہ 'Latest' اور 'Media' ضرور دیکھی��۔ وہاں آپ کو ٹویٹس، ویڈیوز، آرٹیکلز، پوڈکاسٹس اور خبریں ملیں گی! خاص طور پر وہ بیانات جو پچھلے چند دنوں میں بین الاقوامی سطح پر آئے ہیں۔ کرکٹ کی عالمی شخصیات، سابق کپتان، سویل سوسائٹی کے نمائندے، اور دنیا کے سیاسی مبصرین کیا کہہ رہے ہیں - یہ سب موجود ہے۔
مسئلہ یہ نہیں کہ مواد نہیں ہے۔
مسئلہ یہ ہے کہ جتنا مواد ہے، اتنا شیئر نہیں ہو رہا۔
آپ کیا کریں؟
* صرف لائ�� نہ کریں - ری پوسٹ کریں۔
* صرف ری پوسٹ نہ کریں - دو لائنیں اپنی طرف سے لکھیں۔
* صرف ایک پلیٹ فارم تک محدود نہ رہیں - فیس بک، واٹس ایپ، انسٹاگرام، ہر جگہ باوقار انداز میں شیئر کریں۔
* دن میں کم از کم تین بار چیک کریں: صبح، افطار کے بعد، اور رات کو۔
اب دوسری بات۔
آپ کو دانستہ طور پر فضول بحثوں میں الجھایا جا رہا ہے۔
کس نے دھرنے میں کیا کھایا؟
کس نے فوڈ ڈیلیوری منگوائی؟
موت کے کنٹینر میں کون کیا کرے گا؟
یہ سب آپ کی توجہ اصل مسئلے سے ہٹانے کے لیے ہے۔
جب کوئی شخص جیل میں ہو، تو باہر والوں کی سنجیدگی کا امتحان ہوتا ہے۔
کچھ لوگ صرف پارٹی کریں گے، کچھ مذہبی لبادہ اوڑھ ل��ں گے، کچھ احتساب کے نام پر کردار کشی کریں گے؛ لیکن آپ نے فیصلہ کرنا ہے کہ آپ کس صف میں کھڑے ہیں۔
وقت خود کچھ نہیں بدلتا۔
'تین سال گزر گئے، تین اور گزر جائیں گے' یہ سوچ ہار ماننے والوں کی ہوتی ہے۔
تبدیلی تب آتی ہے جب عام لوگ مسلسل، باوقار اور منظم رہیں۔
اگر آپ واقعی کسی مقصد کے لیے کھڑے ہیں تو:
* گالی نہیں دیں گے۔
* جھوٹی خبر نہیں پھیلائیں گے۔
* ذاتی حملے نہیں کریں گے۔
* مگر سچ بولنا نہیں چھوڑیں گے۔
میں ہمیشہ کہتی ہوں، تہذیب کے دائرے میں رہ کر بھی بہت کچھ کیا جا سکتا ہے۔
ہمیں صرف منظم ہونا نہیں آتا۔
آئیے ایک دوسرے کی مدد کریں۔
کوئی لکھ سکتا ہے تو لکھے۔
کوئی تحقیق کر سکتا ہے تو تحقیق کرے۔
کوئی ترجمہ کر سکتا ہے تو عالمی بیانات اردو میں لائے۔
کوئی صرف مستقل شیئر کر سکتا ہے تو وہی سہی مگر مسلسل کرے۔
تماشائی بننا آسان ہے۔
کردار ادا کرنا مشکل، مگر اثر وہی چھوڑتا ہے۔
فیصلہ آپ نے کرنا ہے:
آپ صرف باتیں کریں گے؟
یا روزانہ چند منٹ نکال کر اپنی ذمہ داری ادا کریں گے؟
باوقار رہیں۔ منظم رہیں۔ مستقل رہیں۔
Sending @ImranKhanPTI my love and best wishes. I understand that Imran is not doing well right now with his eye. I hope sanity prevails and he gets the appropriate health treatment required.
It is an honour to own his 1979 @TheRealPCB Baggy Green

یہ تمام خیر خواہ اور مخلص حامیان عمران خان سے ایک دردمندانہ گزارش ہے۔
خدارا ان پوسٹس اور بیانات میں الجھنا بند کریں جو صرف آپ کی توجہ ہٹانے کے لیے مسلسل پھیلائے جا رہے ہیں۔ علی امین گنڈاپور، مروت، گوہر، مشال یا کوئی بھی اور جو بھی ایسی گفتگو کرے جو اصل مسئلے سے ہٹا کر سنسنی اور اشتعال پیدا کرے اس پر ردعمل دینا فوری چھوڑ دیں۔
آج عمران خان جس جان لیوا آزمائش سے گزر رہے ہیں، اس کے مقابلے میں یہ سب باتیں ثانوی ہیں۔
یہ بیانات جان بوجھ کر اشتعال انگیز بنائے جاتے ہیں تاکہ قوم جذبات میں آ کر ردعمل دیں، بحثوں میں پڑ جائیں، اور اپنا قیمتی وقت ضائع کریں!
وہ وقت جو ہمارے پاس ہے ہی نہیں۔
ہمیں ان کے جال میں نہیں پھنسنا۔
نہ مذمتوں میں وقت ضائع کریں،
نہ وضاحتوں میں،
نہ آپس کی لڑائی میں۔
اپنی توجہ صرف اور صرف عمران خان پر رکھیں، اور ان کی فوری رہائی کے لیے جاری زمینی جدوجہد پر۔
یہی وقت کی ضرورت ہے،
یہی ہماری ذمہ داری ہے۔
اور ساری توانائی صرف ایک مقصد کے لیے، عمران خان کی آزادی۔
@Aleema_KhanPK@Noreen_KhanPK
بڑی امیدیں رکھی تھی سب پہ پر باری باری سب نے دھوکہ دیا اپ نے ہمارے ساتھ چلنا ہے تم مجھ سے ایک وعدہ کریں کہ کسی بھی انسان کے سامنے اپ نے جھک نا نہیں انشاءاللہ اپ سے جو بھی بات کروں گا وہ اپ کو کر کے دکھاؤں گا ۔۔

The thought of Imran Khan being taken away from us is unbearable. Save him at any cost, or live with regret for life. There will never be another Imran Khan. He doesn’t deserve this.
تم کچھ نہیں کر سکتے ایسے ہی بس روتے رہو ایک دن خبر آجائےگی اڈیالہ سے باہر ۲،۳ دن کا رو دھو لوگے پھر move on کر جاؤگے۔ ایسے ہی ہوتا آیا ہے تم سب بھی م��ضی کے سب لیڈر کو اکیلا چھوڑنے والے لوگوں کی نسل ہو۔ عمران خان نواز شریف نہیں ہے جو پاؤں پکڑ کے ڈیل کرلیگا اسلئے بس اب انتظار کریں جو کرتے آرہے ہیں۔ یہ فضول کا رنڈی رونا نہیں کریں۔ ہاں آنسوؤں والی ریلز بنا لیں خان کی تصویر کے ساتھ اور شو کروائیں آپ سے بڑا کوئی فین نہیں ہے اُسکا ۔
Imran Khan told his sister @DrUzma_KhanPK that Asim Munir is planning to kill him.
It’s time to demand #ResignAsimMunir
We cannot sit & wait for anything bad to happen to Imran Khan, it will damage Pakistan beyond repair. Asim Munir has already delayed treatment so he cannot be trusted to keep him safe under custody!
In the last meeting, my brother Imran Khan insisted me to go out and say one thing, but I said that I will not do it.
He had told me that they will kill me slowly and Asim Munir will be responsible for it.
I am now realizing that he was right based on how they are treating him and what people like interior minister are saying.
#ComeToStreetsForKhan
England’s Mike Atherton, Nasser Hussain and David Gower have also signed the petition about Imran.
“Many of us competed against him, shared the field with him, or grew up idolising his all-round brilliance, charisma, and competitive spirit,” they said.
