Imran Khan's family, political party and fellow cricket players are sounding the alarm over his deteriorating health in prison. I spoke to his close aide Zulfi Bukhari about his latest condition and the court case his party's filing against the Pakistani government over Khan's hospital visit last week:

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

[Zalmay Khalilzad @realZalmayMK]

In #Pakistan a missed opportunity and a massive violation of the Supreme Court's order. @ImranKhanPTI

[Zac Goldsmith @ZacGoldsmith]

What is happening to @imrankhanPTI is an abuse on every conceivable level.
Passively monitoring the situation is plainly not enough. It is time for active diplomacy.

While Imran Khan rots in Pakistani jail, Indian legend Kapil Dev gets emotional: Imran Ke Haalat Ko Dekh Kar Dukh Hota hai. No way for Pakistan to treat their former Prime Minister.

8 Feb =7 June = Form 47. no symbol, restricted campaign, administrative hurdles..2 yrs later, the same playbook all over again. Doing the same thing again & again while expecting different results is the definition of insanity. they’re still afraid of one man! @PTIGBOfficial

[Salman Khan @xpresspace]

Burns lands. Bases requested. “Absolutely not.” Grenier activated. Moscow visit. Lu meeting….No-confidence motion.

One domino after another. Funny how history unfolds!

Imran Khan is the legitimate PM of Pakistan and was ousted at Washington's behest for the crime of trading with Russia, safeguarding Pakistan's interests, and criticizing US foreign policy. He's still in prison almost 3 years later, in solitary confinement.

Good Subsidy, Bad Subsidy: A case study in policy, politics and leadership:

When IK was PM:

16 Feb 22
Petrol ⬆️ Rs 149
Shahbaz Sharif (SS) 😡 "Subsidies are good! IK must decrease prices!"

28 Feb 22
Petrol ⬇️ Rs 139
SS 😡 "Subsidies are bad! Why has IK decreased prices?"

When SS became PM on April 10

10 Apr 22
Petrol ↔️ Rs 139
SS 😊 "Subsidies are good! I am not increasing prices"

27 May 22
Petrol ⬆️ Rs 169
SS 😊 "Subsidies are bad! Miftah Ismail has to increase prices"

By 25 Sep 22
Petrol ⬆️ Rs 248
SS 😡 "Subsidies are good! Why has Miftah Ismail increased prices???" (SS fires Miftah Ismail for raising petrol prices)

The cycle continues... And the years pass by... Until...

6 Mar 26
Petrol ⬆️ Rs 321
SS 😊 "Subsidies are bad! Aurangzeb has to raise prices"

13 Mar 26
Petrol ↔️ Rs 321
SS 😊 "Subsidies are good! I am not increasing prices!"

2 Apr 26
Petrol ⬆️ Rs 458
SS 😊 "Subsidies are bad! Aurangzeb has to increase prices"

3 Apr 26
Petrol ⬇️ Rs 378
SS 😊 "Subsidies are good! I am reducing prices!"

Any bet on what's next?

"Prisoner number 804: the plot to erase Imran Khan
It’s one thing to remove a PM from office, as happened to the former cricketer in 2022. But it’s another thing to try to eradicate the most famous person in Pakistan’s history"

As my X account has been “throttled” acc to @grok - after a deal was done between @elonmusk & the Pakistani government to lift their x ban, this is a request to UK based Pakistanis an any of those who are able to read this tweet (unlike those in Pakistan) to please RT and help get this message out.

@SAfridiOfficial No it should be Shaheen!

[Aussies Army🏏🦘 @AussiesArmy]

Reports say Imran Khan is facing serious eye issues. Wishing him a speedy recovery.

[Rajdeep Sardesai @sardesairajdeep]

Last night, I posted on Imran Khan’s health in prison and the tweet has got a huge response. BUT here is my question: why haven’t cricketers/sportspersons in Pakistan and around the world spoken out loudly in one voice for Imran’s safety? We mix politics and cricket on the wrong issues; why don’t the stars speak in solidarity for one of their own? Itna sannata kyon? 😡

[Osman Khalid Butt 🇵🇸 @aClockworkObi]

Whatever your politics may be, access to timely and proper medical care in custody should be consistent, transparent and non-negotiable. This shouldn’t be up for debate.

Praying for Imran Khan’s health and recovery.

[Frieha Altaf @FriehaAltaf]

Imran Khan is a national hero and deserves the best care !
It’s was v v disturbing to hear of his loss of sight in his right eye. #KhanNeedsUrgentTreatment
