We have no news about #BushraImranKhan after her surgery and one brief meeting with family.
Those who earlier tortured her by denying urgent medical care while she endured excruciating pain and loss of vision can do so again (criminal negligence).
After surgery, proper post-op care is essential, otherwise infection and complications can follow — and we do not know whether she is receiving that care.
We cannot forget how our own are made to suffer while others enjoy positions and privileges. This is being written on our hearts, and one day, Insha Allah, all of this will come back to haunt those responsible.
FROM MEHRU FOR HER MOTHER

#BushraImranKhan
I share this with tears in my eyes as I can feel these words close to my heart. I hope you also can empathize with what Bushra Imran's daughters are going through.
ایک حکومتی وزیر نے اپنے ٹوئیٹ میں عمران خان کے لیے ایک میڈیکل بورڈ کی تشکیل کا عندیہ دیا ہے۔ خبروں سے یہ بھی معلوم ہو رہا ہے کہ عمران خان کو الشفا آئی ہسپتال، راولپنڈی منتقل کرنے کی تیاری کی جا رہی ہے۔ ہمارا مطالبہ شروع سے بالکل دوٹوک اور واضح رہا ہے: عمران خان کو کسی بھی قسم کا طبی علاج اُن کے ذاتی ڈاکٹروں اور اہلِ خانہ کی موجودگی اور منظوری کے بغیر نہیں دیا جائے گا۔
ہم کسی بھی ایسے یک طرفہ میڈیکل بورڈ کو قبول نہیں کرتے جسے رجیم نے تشکیل دیا ہو اور جو ان کے زیر نگرانی کام کرے۔ہم کسی ایسی میڈیکل رپورٹ یا نتائج کو بھی قبول نہیں کرتے جو اس بورڈ کے زیرِ نگرانی ترتیب دی جائے۔ یہ امر ہمارے خاندان کے لیے شدید باعث تشویش ہے کہ عمران خان کے ذاتی معالجین کی جانب سے تجویز کردہ ماہر ڈاکٹروں کے بورڈ میں اس تمام عمل اور شمولیت کی مخالفت کیوں کی جا رہی ہے۔
عمران خان کے ذاتی معالجین کے زیر نگرانی علاج کی تجویز کو مسترد آخر کیوں کیا جا رہا ہے؟
عمران خان کے اہلِ خانہ کی موجودگی پر قدغن آخر کیونکر لگائی جا رہی ہے؟
آخر ان تمام معاملات پر اس قدر شدید مزاحمت کیوں کی جا رہی ہے؟
کیا یہ سب کسی چیز پر پردہ ڈالنے کی کوشش ہے؟
This columnist is an expert in giving references from history to trivialise the tragedies of today. If tomorrow something happens to Imran Khan in jail this expert will be quick to argue that this has not happened for the first time. These timid historians are quick to normalise and sanitise transgressions by the incumbent rulers by digging out atrocities of their predecessors from the past and cowardly refrain from taking a clear position.
CEO of @SKMCH, Dr Faisal Sultan, has issued a formal statement stressing the urgent medical necessity of transferring Imran Khan to Shifa Hospital, Islamabad, where specialized retinal surgeons are available.

#PAKWatch🇵🇰: Today, TENS OF THOUSANDS of protestors led by Chief Minister Sohail Afridi returned to the streets of Karachi, Pakistan, to demand the IMMEDIATE RELEASE OF IMRAN KHAN.
PAK = NO RULE OF LAW = 3RD WORLD.
FREE CAPTAIN PAKISTAN.
#Pakistan: Imran Khans solitary confinement and inhumane detention conditions must end - UN expert. Prolonged or indefinite solitary confinement is prohibited under int'l human rights law – and when it extends longer than 15 days, it's a form of #torture.

Elon, you may recall we have met before.
I am Jemima Goldsmith (Khan), former wife of Imran Khan — Pakistan’s democratically elected Prime Minister, removed in 2022 and now held 22 months in brutal solitary confinement as a political prisoner.
Our two sons have not seen him in all that time, have not spoken to him in months, and are not even allowed to send him letters. His name is banned from every Pakistani TV and radio station. X was therefore our only independent platform to highlight this injustice. However acc to Grok- your own AI- “Every time you post anything about Imran’s jail conditions, solitary confinement or your son’s access to their father, the algorithm limits the post…. The Pakistani authorities have made criticism from Imran Khan’s immediate circle one of their top online enforcement priorities, and X is quietly complying just enough to keep the platform alive in the country.”
You have repeatedly pledged that X will protect free speech and will not silence lawful political expression.
Yet Grok has examined my X analytics (3.56 million followers) and concluded my account is subjected to what Grok calls “secret throttling” (the algorithm deliberately hides my posts from almost everyone even though the account is not suspended).
The damning evidence Grok found is as follows :
• In 2023–early 2024, I averaged 400–900 million impressions per month (normal reach for my follower count).
• But in the entire 2025, impressions dropped to only 28.6 million total — a 97% crash to <3% of expected reach.
• The turning point was May 2025: one post spiked to 4 million impressions the day Pakistan’s X ban ended (proving my audience was still engaged), thereafter impressions were instantly crushed to near zero and stayed there. These numbers & assessments are all verbatim from Grok.
I am asking you to honour the free-speech promises you have made for this platform.
Please remove the “secret throttling” Grok identified on @Jemima_Khan
Thank you.
A personal plea to @elonmusk
My two sons have not been allowed to see or speak to their father Imran Khan who has been held unlawfully (acc to the UN) for 22 months of solitary confinement.
X is the only place left where we can still tell the world he is a political prisoner without basic human rights.
Yet every time I post about him, the reach inside Pakistan (and often globally) is throttled to almost zero.
You promised free speech, not “speech but no one hears it”.
Please fix the visibility filtering on my account so we can get the message out! @MarioNawfal
مجھے یہ تو پتہ لگ گیا تھا کہ بشریٰ عمران کی طبیعت خراب ہو گئ لیکن تفصیلات آج ملیں ٹرائل کے بعد
اتنی گرمی میں بشریٰ عمران کے سیل کی بجلی پورے ایک دن اور ایک رات بند رکھی گئ۔ ایک سیمنٹ کے سیل میں اتنی گرمی میں بجلی کے بغیر آپ کیسے ایک عورت کو رکھ سکتے ہیں ؟ آپ کو کوئ شرم حیا ہے؟ اس لیے کہتے ہیں کہ دشمن بھی ملے تو ظرف والا۔
اللہ نے قرآن میں فرمایا کہ اللہ کسی کو اس کی برداشت سے ذیادہ تکلیف نہیں دیتا۔
جب تکلیف حد سے بڑھ جاتی ہے تو انسان کو رب اٹھا لیتا ہے۔ بشریٰ عمران ہوں یا خان صاحب ، جب تک ان کی زندگی ہے ، وہ برداشت کر لیں گے۔ لیکن ان کے ساتھ یہ سلوک ان کے مخالفوں کے بارے میں کیا بتاتا ہے؟
بدعا وہ ہوتی ہے جو دل سے خود ہی نکلتی ہے۔ اس کے لئے ہاتھ نہیں اٹھانے پڑتے۔ آج جن کے لیے میرے دل سے نکلی ہے ان کو اس دنیا اور آخرت دونوں میں اس کا پتہ لگ جائے گا۔ ان شا اللہ

Message from Former Prime Minister Imran Khan via his Legal Team -
"I have not authorized anyone to engage in negotiations with the establishment. I have never struck a deal in the past, nor will I entertain one now. Had I been interested in making a deal, I would have accepted the offer made two years ago, an offer that proposed complete immunity from legal action in exchange for two years of silence. I rejected it then, and I reject any such notion now.
Ali Amin Gandapur and Azam Swati may have expressed a desire for talks, but in my view, such negotiations are pointless. The opposing side is not interested in resolving issues, they only seek to buy time. Ali Amin and Azam Swati wished to pursue discussions of their own accord. I have always maintained and reiterated that as a political party, we have no objection to dialogue. The doors to negotiations were never closed. But let me be clear: any talks must be grounded in the supremacy of the Constitution, the rule of law, and the interests of the people, not in any personal arrangement for myself or my wife.
Regarding the Mines and Minerals Bill: no further action will be taken until Chief Minister Ali Amin and the senior political leadership of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa deliver a comprehensive and transparent briefing. Without that, the matter will not move forward.
For the past seven months, my close associates and for the past month, even my sisters and legal counsel have been denied their legal right to meet me. While Nawaz Sharif was granted daily visitation, I am denied this right even on court-mandated days under false pretexts. This shows the sheer extent of the fear my presence commands. I am not allowed phone calls with my children, and even my personal physician is barred from access. I have now directed the legal committee to file a contempt of court petition without delay against the prison administration.
The ongoing treatment of Afghan refugees is nothing short of disgraceful. The ruling mafia, desperate to cling to power, will stop at nothing. The current anti-Afghanistan policy will only breed more resentment and escalate terrorism. Our innocent citizens and security personnel are already paying the price with their lives on a daily basis. A formal resolution must be tabled in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly demanding an extension in the repatriation timeline for Afghan refugees. Furthermore, the federal government must grant KP the authority to engage directly with the Afghan administration—KP has borne the brunt of terrorism and must be allowed to address it proactively. The matter must be resolved through statesmanship and common sense instead of fueling this fire.
The election tribunals have become completely dysfunctional. Rather than fulfilling their constitutional obligations, their energies are solely focused on protecting the corrupt. A resolution must be passed in the KP Assembly urging the Chief Justice of the Peshawar High Court to instruct election tribunal judges to immediately deliver verdicts on all pending PTI election petitions.
Public airing of internal disagreements only serves the interests of our opponents. Such matters must be dealt with responsibly and resolved strictly through internal party forums.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf is the only truly national political force that can, without external support, mobilize a countrywide movement at any time. A political party only weakens when it loses public support and right now, the entire nation stands firmly with PTI. Still, we are open to alliances on shared principles. I instruct our political leadership to move swiftly: complete consultations with current and prospective allies, formalize these alliances, and announce our roadmap. Every option including mass protests is on the table. Our strategic response will be declared soon."
حیران کُن: اسلام آباد ہائیکورٹ کے جسٹس انعام امین منہاس نے احمد نورانی کے مغوی بھائیوں کی بازیابی کے کیس میں آئی جی اسلام آباد سے آج یہ تو پوچھا کہ آئی جی صاحب کیا آپ نے چیک کیا کہ کہیں یہ دونوں بھائی ملک سے باہر تو نہیں چلے گئے لیکن حیران کُن طور پر تین سماعتوں میں اِس آئینی عدالت نے آئی جی اسلام آباد یہاں تک کہ ایس ایچ او سے بھی نہیں پوچھا کہ آپ نے اغواء کا مقدمہ درج کیا یا نہیں
My friend @awaheedmurad is gem of a person. He believes more in reasoning and logic on different issues than anything else. Over a period of time he has proved his journalistic credentials and integrity beyond doubt. He is tough on those who try to tow an agenda for personal benefits at the cost of public interest. He listens to reasons not to people. May God keep him safe as he is an asset to Pakistan and our profession.
Journalist @awaheedmurad has been abducted from his home in Islamabad. Reports suggest that he has been picked up by black uniformed armed personnel in official vehicle. We are trying to find out if the Islamabad police has done it. Govt needs to immediately clarify its position about the incident. We strongly condemn his abduction/arrest as a blatant violation of free speech and fundamental rights.
