BEASTS: I just received a picture of a PTI worker arrested by the army. It cannot be made public. The beasts cut his male organ. What kind of yazeed and firouns are these. They are not humans but mad beasts. Someone will pay them back in the same coin.

I have never heard of a government prepping like this for a “mass casualty incident” against its own citizens. No doubt it has happened before, but this is incredible.

Pakistan has told Islamabad hospitals to cancel elective surgeries and prepare bed space because a non-violent march is planned for 9/27.

Several of Imran Khan's relatives arrested. His son @Kasim_Khan_1999 tells me the authorities are “petrified of his father’s popularity”. @ImranKhanPTI

These are not just any criminals. These are the people in charge of Pakistan.

This is how they’ve abducted my family members. Masked, armed men dragging innocents from their houses and taking them to unknown locations.

[Yalda Hakim @SkyYaldaHakim]

Imran Khan's sisters arrested and detained and security forces seizing ministers in broad daylight.

The arrests come a week before a planned protest march by Khan’s PTI party.

Pakistan's Interior Minister said the government would do everything it could to stop the march.

[Sky News @SkyNews]

Imran Khan's son has told Sky's chief presenter @MarkAustinTV that his family members have been arrested ahead of a protest march.

Former Pakistani prime minister Mr Khan has been imprisoned for more than three years.

Free Imran Khan.

[Shershah Khan @KhanShershah]

Look closely at this door.

The footprints from their boots are still there.

Last night, police personnel repeatedly kicked at my aunt Uzma Khan’s (@DrUzma_KhanPK) bedroom door until it gave way.

Imran Khan’s family and PTI officials say three of the jailed former PM’s sisters have been detained in Lahore ahead of a September 27 march on Islamabad demanding his release.

Authorities have confirmed Aleema Khan was ordered to be held for 30 days.

[Yalda Hakim @SkyYaldaHakim]

UPDATE: The crackdown appears to be widening. After Aleema Khan’s 30-day detention, family members say homes linked to Imran Khan’s sisters have been raided — and that Aleema’s two sons and her 20-year-old niece Sakina have also been detained.

[Yalda Hakim @SkyYaldaHakim]

Deeply concerning to see Aleema Khan, sister of jailed former PM Imran Khan, arrested and detained for 30 days under the Maintenance of Public Order law — days before PTI’s planned Sept 27 protest.

I interviewed her in December about her brother’s imprisonment.

Watch ⬇️

[FrameTheGlobe @FrameTheGlobe]

When a state descends to targeting and arresting women as seen with the kidnapping of Aleema Khan, it forfeits any remaining claim to moral authority or legitimacy. A government and military that weaponises state machinery against family members and women is structurally bankrupt, stripping itself of all credibility to engage in any ethical discourse.

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

🚨Every member of Imran Khan’s immediate family has now been arrested, according to reporting by Drop Site contributor @AreebaFatimaa

[Kasim Khan @Kasim_Khan_1999]

Hearing news that my cousin’s children are now safe 🙏.

Meanwhile two more of my cousins have been arrested. Azeem and Sakeenah.

No reasons given.

No location given.

[Kasim Khan @Kasim_Khan_1999]

This is a disgrace.

Now my Aunts Dr. Uzma and Noureen, along with my cousins Shershah and Shahrez have now been abducted as well.

They have broken into my aunties and cousins houses and forced them
into vehicles with no explanation.

No reasons for arrest have been stated.

No news has been released as to where they have been taken.

This is criminal behaviour. Inexcusable. The Pakistani people are petrified of their own leaders.

No upstanding nation should tolerate this criminal establishment. Intervention is now imperative.

The world MUST take action.

[Kasim Khan @Kasim_Khan_1999]

And it get’s worse.

My cousin Shahrez’s 2 children of 4 and 6 years old are now missing.

There is no limit to their cruelty. Complete disregard for humanity.

[Shershah Khan @KhanShershah]

Our home is under siege. Both ends of our street have been cordoned off, effectively placing our entire family under house arrest.

[Shershah Khan @KhanShershah]

My mother, Aleema Khan @Aleema_KhanPK, was abducted a few hours ago. We still have no information about where she is being held. Leaving her family in the dark about her whereabouts is indefensible.
If cowardice had a face, this politico-military government would be it.
@Kasim_Khan_1999

[Kasim Khan @Kasim_Khan_1999]

Today, my aunt, Aleema Khan, has been abducted by police in Lahore. Our family has been told nothing about where she has been taken. Her family and lawyers cannot reach her.

This is the behaviour of a fascist government - abducting people, terrorising families and trampling human rights, due process and the rule of law while pretending to stand for democracy.

First they imprisoned my father. Now they are coming after his family.

We demand immediate access to her for her family and lawyers, full disclosure of where she is being held, and her immediate release.

The world cannot keep looking away from what is happening in Pakistan.

[Aleema khan @ikhan_17]

The arrest of leader Imran Khan’s sister from outside her residence reflects the profound fear of the usurping and unrepresentative regime.
​When governments lose public support, their only recourse becomes illegal measures and political retribution. Following the atrocities inflicted upon Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi, targeting family members through black laws is a continuation of this very fascism.
​The fear of the public taking to the streets on September 27 has shattered the sleep of this fake power. Such unjust tactics cannot deter us from the struggle for truth and justice. This panic is the death knell of your downfall.
