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
https://t.co/Yf5eCx2fAi
Today, I had the honour of speaking to the 47 countries that comprise the @UN#HumanRightsCouncil urging the immediate release of my father @imrankhanpti and all #Pakistan’s #politicalprisoners. Along with this, I want to be very clear. Like my father, I fully support maintaining GSP+ as the people of #Pakistan should never be punished for the actions of its leaders. But the Pakistani regime must also fully comply with the 27 treaties it committed to follow to obtain this benefit, including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and Convention Against Torture. @UN@ptiofficial #HumanRights #ImranKhanUnlawfullyDetained

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.
”عاصم منیر ایک ذہنی مریض ہے جس کی اخلاقی پستی کی وجہ سے پاکستان میں آئین اور قانون مکمل طور پر ختم ہو چکے ہیں اور کسی بھی پاکستانی کے بنیادی انسانی حقوق اب محفوظ نہیں۔
مجھے اور میری اہلیہ کو عاصم منیر کے حکم پر جھوٹے مقدمات میں جیل میں رکھا گیا ہے اور شدید ترین ذہنی ٹارچر کیا جا رہا ہے۔ مجھے مکمل طور پر ایک سیل میں بند کر کے قید تنہائی میں ڈالا ہوا ہے۔ چار ہفتے تک میری کسی ایک انسان سے بھی ملاقات نہیں ہوئی۔ اور بیرونی دنیا سے بالکل بےخبر رکھا گیا، جیل مینؤل کے مطابق دی جانے والی ہماری بنیادی ضروریات بھی ختم کر دی گئی ہیں۔
ہائی کورٹ کے احکامات کے باوجود پہلے میری سیاسی ساتھیوں سے ملاقات پرپابندی لگائی گئی اور اب وکلأ اور اہل خانہ سے ملاقات بھی بند کر دی گئی ہے۔ انسانی حقوق کا کوئی بھی چارٹر اٹھا کر دیکھیں ذہنی تشدد بھی "ٹارچر" ہی کہلاتا ہے اور جسمانی تشدد سے بھی ذیادہ سنگین عمل سمجھا جاتا ہے۔
میری ہمشیرہ نورین نیازی کو سڑک پر گھسیٹا گیا، صرف اس لیے کہ وہ مجھ سے ملاقات کا جائز حق مانگ رہی تھیں، یہ صرف عاصم منیر جیسا شخص ہی کر سکتا ہے۔ اس نے ڈاکٹر یاسمین راشد جیسی بزرگ کینسر سرائیوور کو سیاسی انتقام کی غرض سے جیل میں ڈالا ہوا ہے۔ میری اہلیہ بشریٰ بیگم کو صرف مجھ پر دباؤ ڈالنے کے لیے قید کیا ہوا ہے۔ ان کے بچوں سے بھی انکی ملاقات نہیں کرنے دی جا رہی۔ ان کو تمام سہولیات سے محروم رکھا گیا ہے، ان سب مثالوں سے اس شخص کی ذہنی سطح کا اندازہ ہوتا ہے۔
قید تنہائی کاٹنا انتہائی تکلیف دہ عمل ہے لیکن میں یہ صرف اپنی قوم کی خاطر برداشت کر رہا ہوں۔ جب تک قوم خود غلامی کی زنجیریں نہیں توڑتی، پاکستان پر مسلط مافیاز ایسے ہی اس کا استحصال کرتے رہیں گے۔ ایکسٹینشن مافیا، لینڈ مافیا، چینی مافیا، مینڈیٹ چور مافیا ہر ایک اس قوم کو تب تک غلام بنا کر رکھے گا جب تک کہ یہ قوم خود اٹھ کھڑی نہیں ہوتی۔ آپ آج ان کے غلام ہیں، آپ کی نسلیں ان کی نسلوں کی غلام ہوں گی اگر اس چکر کو توڑنا ہے تو قوم کو خود غلامی کی زنجیریں توڑ کر “حقیقی آزادی” کے لیے کھڑا ہونا ہے۔
وکٹ کے دونوں جانب کھیلنے والوں کی میری پارٹی میں کوئی جگہ نہیں ہے۔ ایسے لوگ تحریک انصاف کے "میر صادق" اور "میر جعفر" ہیں۔ این ڈی یو ورک شاپ میں تحریک انصاف کے لوگوں کی شرکت شرمناک ہے۔ ایک جانب ہم لوگ ہر قسم کی سختیاں برداشت کر رہے ہیں تو دوسری جانب جب ہمارے ہی لوگ ہم پر ظلم ڈھانے والوں سے سماجی تعلقات بڑھانے کی کوشش کرتے ہیں تو مجھے انتہائی تکلیف ہوتی ہے۔
میں ہمیشہ کہتا آیا ہوں کہ اپنے ہی لوگوں پر ڈرون اٹیکس اور ملٹری آپریشنز سے دہشتگردی مزید بڑھتی ہے- عاصم منیر کی پالیسیاں اس ملک کے لیے تباہ کن ہیں۔ اس ہی کی پالیسی کی بدولت آج ملک میں دہشتگردی کا ناسور بے قابو ہے جس پر مجھے انتہائی دکھ ہے۔ اس کو اپنے ملک کے مفادات کی رتی برابر بھی پرواہ نہیں ہے۔ یہ جو کچھ کر رہا ہے، محض مغربی دنیا کی خوشنودی کے لیے کر رہا ہے۔ افغانستان کے ساتھ آگ کو جان بوجھ کر بھڑکایا، اس کا مقصد ہے کہ اسے “انٹرنیشنلی مجاہد” سمجھا جائے- اس نے پہلے افغانوں کو دھمکایا، پھر مہاجرین کو ملک سے دھکے دے کر باہر نکالا، ان پر ڈرون حملے کیے جس کے اثرات پاکستان میں دہشت گردی بڑھنے کی صورت میں آئے۔ اس شخص نے اپنے ذاتی مفاد کے لیے ملک کو دہشتگردی کی بھینٹ چڑھا دیا ہے۔
سہیل آفریدی قابل تعریف ہے کیونکہ جبر کے اس ماحول میں وہ مفاہمت کے بجائے مزاحمت کو ترجیح دے رہا ہے۔ سہیل آفریدی کو پیغام دیتا ہوں کہ وہ فرنٹ فٹ پر آ کر کھیلتا رہے۔ اس ملک میں کوئی قانون اور آئین نہیں ہے۔ قانون صرف تحریک انصاف کے لیے حرکت میں آتا ہے ورنہ ہر کوئی اس سے مبرا ہے۔ سہیل آفریدی جو بھی کر رہا ہے اسے جاری رکھے میں اس کی مکمل حمایت کرتا ہوں۔
گورنر راج کی دھمکیاں لگانے والے کل کی بجائے آج لگا لیں اور پھر دیکھیں ان کے ساتھ ہوتا کیا ہے!!
محمود خان اچکزئی اور علامہ راجہ ناصر عباس میرے لیے انتہائی قابل احترام ہیں۔ وہ جمہوریت پسند اور اصول پرست لوگ ہیں۔ مجھے حیرت ہے کہ اب تک ان کا نوٹیفکیشن جاری نہیں ہوا۔ میں تحریک انصاف کی پارلیمانی جماعت کو ہدایت کرتا ہوں کہ سپیکر اور چئیرمین سینیٹ کے سامنے اس معاملے پر احتجاج کریں تاکہ ان کا اپوزیشن لیڈر کا نوٹیفکیشن جاری کیا جائے۔ اس کے علاوہ موجودہ نظام مخالف کسی بھی قسم کی تحریک کے لیے جو بھی کال تحریک تحفظ آئین پاکستان کی جانب سے دی جائے تمام تحریک انصاف اس پر عمل کرے“
اڈیالہ جیل میں نا حق قید سابق وزیراعظم پاکستان عمران خان کی ایک ماہ قید تنہائی کے بعد اپنی بہن سے ہونے والی ملاقات میں گفتگو (2 دسمبر، 2025)
Part 1 of 2
“Asim Munir is a mentally unstable person whose moral degradation has led to the complete collapse of the Constitution and the rule of law in Pakistan, leaving the fundamental human rights of every Pakistani unprotected.
My wife and I have been imprisoned on fabricated charges at his command, and we are being subjected to severe psychological torment. I have been completely isolated in a cell, placed in solitary confinement. For four weeks I was not permitted to see a single human being, and I was kept entirely cut off from the outside world. Even the basic necessities guaranteed under the jail manual have been denied to us.
Despite the orders of the High Court, first my meetings with my political colleagues were prohibited, and now even my meetings with my lawyers and family have been stopped. Any human rights charter will show that psychological torture is classified as 'torture', and it is regarded as even more severe than physical abuse.
My sister Noreen Niazi was dragged on the road simply because she demanded her rightful meeting with me. Only a man like Asim Munir could sanction such conduct. He has imprisoned Dr. Yasmin Rashid, an elderly cancer survivor, purely out of political vengeance. My wife, Bushra Begum, has been imprisoned only to exert pressure on me. Even her children are not allowed to meet her, and she has been deprived of all facilities. These examples reveal the character and mental disposition of this man.
Enduring solitary confinement is extremely painful, but I am bearing it only for the sake of my nation. Until the nation itself breaks the chains of slavery, the mafias imposed on Pakistan will continue to exploit it. The extension mafia, land mafia, sugar mafia, and mandate-thief mafia will keep this nation enslaved until the people themselves rise. Today you are their slaves; your future generations will be slaves to their generations. If you want to break this cycle, the nation must break the chains of enslavement itself and stand up for Haqeeqi Azadi (genuine freedom).
There is no place in my party for those who play on both sides of the wicket. Such people are the ‘Mir Sadiq’ and ‘Mir Jafar’ of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf. The participation of PTI individuals in the NDU workshop is shameful. On one hand, we are enduring all kinds of hardships, and on the other hand, when our own people socialise with those who oppress us, it causes me deep pain.
I have always stated that drone attacks and military operations on our own people only fuels terrorism. Asim Munir’s policies are disastrous for this country. It is because of his policies that the scourge of terrorism has spiraled out of control, which deeply grieves me. He has no regard for the interests of his own nation. Whatever he is doing is merely to please the Western world. He deliberately ignited tensions with Afghanistan seeking to portray himself internationally as a ‘mujahid’ (warrior). He first threatened Afghans, then expelled refugees by force, and conducted drone strikes on them; the consequences of which came in the form of rising terrorism inside Pakistan. This man has sacrificed the country to terrorism for his own personal interests.
Sohail Afridi is commendable because he chose resistance over reconciliation during repressive times. My message to Sohail Afridi is to continue playing on the front foot. There is no law or constitution in this country. The law is invoked only against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf; everyone else remains exempt. Whatever Sohail Afridi is doing, he should continue. He has my full support.
As for those issuing threats of Governor’s Rule: impose it right away instead of waiting, and then see consequences for themselves!
Conversation with his sister by the unjustly imprisoned former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan, after one month of solitary confinement in Adiala Jail (December 2, 2025) 1/2
“Loss of human life in Pahlgam incident is deeply disturbing and tragic. I extend my deepest condolences to the victims and their families.
When the False Flag Palwama Operation incident happened, we offered to extend all-out cooperation to India but India failed to produce any concrete evidence. As I predicted in 2019, the same is happening again after Pahlgam incident. Instead of introspection and investigation, Modi Sarkar is again placing the blame on Pakistan.
Being a country of 1.5 billion people, India needs to act responsibly instead of messing with a region already known as “nuclear flashpoint.” Peace is our priority but it should not be mistaken as cowardice. Pakistan has got all the capabilities to give a befitting response to any Indian misadventure, as My Government, backed by whole nation, did in 2019.
I have always emphasized the importance of the Kashmiris’ right to self-determination, as guaranteed by United Nations resolutions.
I have also been highlighting the fact that India led by RSS ideology is a grave threat, not only to the region but beyond it. Indian oppression in Kashmir, intensified after the illegal abrogation of Article 370, has further fueled the Kashmiri people’s desire for freedom.
Sadly, the nation has been divided by an illegitimate government imposed through fraudulent Form-47 results. And yet, ironically, Narendra Modi’s aggression has united the people of Pakistan in one voice against Indian hostility. While we reject this fake regime, we stand firmly as one Pakistani nation and strongly condemn Modi's war-mongering and his dangerous ambitions that threaten regional peace.
Needless to say, to win the war against an external enemy, the nation must first be united. It is high time to put a halt to all actions that are further polarizing the nation. The state’s excessive focus on political victimisation at this critical time is deepening internal divisions and undermining the nation’s collective ability to confront external threats.
It is naive to expect any strong stance from self-serving figures like Nawaz Sharif and Asif Zardari. They will never speak out against India because their illegal wealth and business interests lie abroad. They profit from foreign investments, and to protect those financial interests, they remain silent in the face of foreign aggression and baseless allegations against Pakistan. Their fear is simple: that Indian lobbies might freeze their offshore assets if they dare to speak the truth.”
Illegally incarcerated Former Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan’s discussion with the lawyers in Adiala Jail Rawalpindi (29-04-2025)
Why has Pakistan punished civilians through military courts and how has Islamabad responded to criticism from the US, UK, and EU?
