Maybe Trump will help to get Imran Khan set free...?

from this Nov 27 2024 article

Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan expects U.S. President-elect Donald Trump to back his bid for freedom based on their past relationship and perceived parallels in their respective political and legal struggles, an aide to the jailed ex-premier told Newsweek.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And given Trump's own battle with the U.S. legal system under the Biden administration, Zulfikar asserted that "no one knows better than President Trump" the impact of "cooked-up, frivolous cases" and "what it means when the public is behind you, because, like Imran Khan, he's experienced both those things the same way."

I have always strived to use my position and influence to improve the lives of ordinary Pakistanis. This is precisely the reason for me entering in politics, and I will continue to advocate for it as long as I live.” - Former Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan

Last week on MOATS there was a rumour that Imran Khan had died, but thankfully this appears to be unfounded.

But what a disgrace that the elected leader of an ibfluential country can be treated in this barbaric fashion. As George says, if there was an election in Pakistan tomorrow, Imran Khan would win again.

My father, Imran Khan, has now spent over 900 days in a death cell with no family visits and no access to his personal doctors. Credible reports confirm he has been diagnosed with central retinal vein occlusion, a dangerous blockage that can lead to permanent vision loss if not treated through urgent medical intervention in a proper hospital.

Yet authorities continue to block his treatment and deny him the doctors he trusts. I am even denied the right to speak to him. This is not governance. This is authoritarian cruelty.

I call on every defender of human rights to act before it is too late. The world must see that in Pakistan today, democracy is hollow and basic human rights are being crushed.

Pakistan’s government has decided to transfer former Prime Minister Imran Khan from Adiala Jail to a prison in Islamabad. Khan has been imprisoned since 2023 following convictions in corruption and state secrets cases, which supporters say are politically motivated.

Imran Khan's sister Naureen Niazi says the former Pakistani PM's health situation is disturbing:

'For 3 months, no family or doctor has been allowed to see him. He has a serious eye condition, yet jail can't verify his health. All his cases are cleared, but he remains detained'
