Cricket legend Imran Khan is rotting to death in a tiny jail cell in Pakistan. It's time Britain used its influence to help free him

Former Prime Minister Imran Khan in conversation at Adiala Jail - 24 July 2025
Note: This is a repost of the tweet from 24th July 2025
“We have knocked on every door, but no one has listened. I had asked for dialogue only once, and that too was conditional upon commissions to investigate the events of November 26th (2024) and May 9th (2023) being formed. It was Asim Munir who ordered the shooting of unarmed civilians on November 26th. I reiterate there is no longer any room for dialogue because this group has completely hijacked the entire system.
I have instructed Barrister Gohar, Salman Akram Raja, Ali Amin Gandapur, and Junaid Akbar to ensure the protest movement runs with full force. The objective of this movement must be the restoration of justice, the supremacy of law, and the protection of the Constitution. If we fail to raise our voices in the streets, this group of oppressors will gradually finish off our parliamentary party as well. I am standing firm; all of you must also stand firm.
Eighty percent of the people of Pakistan stand with me and we are entitled to fight for our rights. I am aware that 90% of the electoral fraud took place between polling and the compilation of results. I campaigned for the implementation of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) for two years. If EVMs had been used on February 8th (2024), the game would have ended there and then. I still say today: if transparent elections are desired, EVMs must be introduced, and rigging will end once and for all.”
Indians and Pakistanis are essentially the same people, divided by borders and kept divided by politicians on both sides who benefit politically—and perhaps financially—from hostility.
Imagine if India and Pakistan signed a real peace treaty. Trade, tourism, investment, culture and human connections could explode.
The economic upside could be enormous.
So I keep wondering: who benefits from keeping us enemies?
Today marks 3 years since Imran Khan was unjustly incarcerated.
He is still being denied basic human rights and remains in solitary confinement.
His abominable treatment is an affront to democracy. I will continue to demand the release of all political prisoners, everywhere.
Muzaffarabad's residents, in Pakistan-administered Kashmir, have boycotted the election amid a strike, with protesters questioning how voting could proceed after unrest that has killed at least 80 people since June, according to local estimates. Al Jazeera’s Kamal Hyder reports.
Not a single person has been held accountable for their participation in genocide.
Meanwhile, opponents of genocide are sentenced as terrorists.
What kind of dystopian world are we living in? This absurdity must end. De-proscribe Palestine Action, now.
When the perpetrator is a white Christian man and the victim is a brown Sikh woman, funny how all of those details are left out of western media headlines.
🇵🇸 A young boy from Gaza holds his little brother as they both cry. Their mother just died.
He's a child. He doesn't know how to fix this. He just knows his brother is falling apart and he's all that's left.
No geopolitical framing makes this easier to watch. No "both sides" argument survives this image.
War has a cost that never appears in the official statements. And this is it.

“Our father has lost 80% of his vision. He’d been complaining about his eye for months but was getting ignored. It’s only now been treated later then it should have been. It’s not in good condition. We have no visibility into why it’s occurred. They’ve given us no medical reports. Everything is covered up.” @Kasim_Khan_1999 and Sulaiman Khan speak to @Channel4News.

A deeply disturbing incident has come to light from Bengaluru. A former army officer and his wife allegedly called a Muslim man a “terrorist” and a “Pakistani.”
However, when residents of the apartment confronted them and reminded them that this is India , where people of all religions live together with love and equality. they questioned why he was being labeled in such a manner.
Following strong objections from the residents, the ex-army officer and his wife eventually apologized.
This is exactly how hate should be dealt with.

"He's often talked about the difference between pleasure and happiness. Pleasure is short-term; happiness is long-term."
Imran Khan's sons speak about battling from their home in London to ensure he is treated humanely in prison in Rawalpindi.
