An Open Letter from former Prime Minister Imran Khan to the Chief of Army Staff - February 3rd, 2025 "Pakistan is my country, and its military is mine too!! Our soldiers are sacrificing their lives for Pakistan. Success in the war against terrorism requires the nation to stand behind their army. However, unfortunately, the gap between the military and the public continues to widen because of the establishment’s policies. There are several fundamental reasons for this. In order to restore public sentiment towards the military and bridge the widening gap between the people and their armed forces, the establishment must reconsider its policies. - The biggest reason is the historic rigging of the 2024 elections and the blatant theft of the people’s mandate, which has fueled public anger. The way agencies engaged in pre-poll rigging and political engineering to control results has severely damaged public trust. A party that won only 17 seats was handed the reins of power, imposing a “puppet government” on the nation. - The second reason is the 26th Constitutional Amendment. The way the Constitution and laws have been violated, and this amendment has been used to control the judiciary has caused intense resentment in public. Nasser Javed Rana deliberately delayed decisions so that my cases could be assigned to "pocket judges." The ongoing "court packing" is aimed at ensuring that cases against me are heard by favored judges, who will deliver desired verdicts. This entire exercise is meant to secure selective rulings against me and to cover up violations of human rights and electoral fraud so that no fair judicial decisions can be made. - The third reason is the draconian PECA Law. Electronic media is already under control, and now, through PECA amendments, restrictions have been imposed on social media and the internet. This threatens Pakistan’s GSP+ status. Disruptions to internet services have caused the IT industry more than 1.72 billion dollars in losses, destroying the careers of young professionals. - The fourth major reason is the continued state terrorism against Pakistan’s largest and most popular political party. Violating the sanctity of private homes, over 100,000 raids have been conducted, more than 20,000 party workers and supporters have been either arrested or abducted, and their families harassed. Human rights violations continue in an effort to crush PTI, which has deeply hurt the public. - The fifth major reason is the economic crisis caused by political instability, forcing people to leave Pakistan, along with their capital, at an alarming rate. Economic instability is at its peak. The growth rate is zero, and investment in Pakistan is nearly non-existent. No country can attract investment without the rule of law and justice. No one would willingly invest their capital in a country where there is a risk of terrorism. Investment only flows in when there is a government in place that represents the people’s will — anything else is futile. - The sixth major reason is that all state institutions have abandoned their duties and are instead focused on politically persecuting PTI. Military officers at the major and colonel levels continue to blatantly defy court orders. Judicial rulings are being ignored, and as a result, the entire military is facing a backlash. Just two days ago, an ATC [Anti-Terrorism Court] judge ordered my wife to appear for an investigation, and despite her willingness, some unseen force sabotaged the process. 1/2

سابق وزیراعظم عمران خان کی جانب سے چیف آف آرمی سٹاف کو کھلا خط۔۔ “فوج بھی میری ہے اور ملک بھی میرا ہے!! ہمارے فوجی پاکستان کے لیے قربانیاں دے رہے ہیں۔ دہشتگردی کے خلاف جنگ میں کامیابی کے لیے ضروری ہے کہ قوم فوج کے پیچھے کھڑی ہو لیکن افسوسناک امر ہے کہ اسٹیبلشمنٹ کی پالیسیوں کی وجہ سے فوج اور عوام میں خلیج دن بدن بڑھتی جا رہی ہے۔ اس کی کچھ بنیادی وجوہات ہیں جن کو مد نظر رکھتے ہوئے اسٹیبلشمنٹ کو اپنی پالیسیوں پر نظرثانی کرنے کی ضرورت ہے تا کہ عوام اور فوج کے درمیان بڑھتے ہوئے فاصلے اور فوج کی بدنامی کو کم کیا جا سکے۔ سب سے بڑی وجہ 2024 کے انتخابات میں تاریخی دھاندلی اور عوامی مینڈیٹ کی سر عام چوری ہے جس نے عوام کے غصے کو ابھارا ہے۔ جس انداز میں ایجنسیاں پری پول دھاندلی اور نتائج کنٹرول کرنے کے لیے سیاسی انجینئرنگ میں ملوث رہیں اس نے قوم کے اعتماد کو شدید ٹھیس پہنچائی ہے۔ صرف 17 نشستیں جیتنے والی پارٹی کو اقتدار دے کر “اردلی حکومت” ملک پر مسلط کر دی گئی- دوسری وجہ چھبیسویں آئینی ترمیم ہے۔ جس طرح چھبیسویں آئینی ترمیم کے ذریعے عدلیہ کو کنٹرول کرنے کی غرض سے ملک میں آئین اور قانون کی دھجیاں اڑائی گئی ہیں اس کے خلاف پاکستانی عوام میں شدید نفرت پائی جا رہی ہے۔ میرے مقدمات "پاکٹ ججز" کے پاس لگانے کے لیے ناصر جاوید رانا نے فیصلے کو ملتوی کیا۔ عدالتوں میں جاری "کورٹ پیکنگ" کا مقصد یہی ہے کہ عمران خان کے خلاف مقدمات من پسند ججز کے پاس لگا کر اپنی مرضی کے فیصلے لیے جا سکیں۔ اس سب کا مقصد میرے خلاف مقدمات میں من پسند فیصلے، انسانی حقوق کی پامالی اور انتخابی فراڈ کی پردہ پوشی ہے تا کہ عدلیہ میں کوئی شفاف فیصلے دینے والا نہ ہو۔ تیسری وجہ "پیکا" جیسا کالا قانون ہے۔ الیکٹرانک میڈیا پر پہلے ہی قبضہ کیا جا چکا ہے، اب پیکا کی صورت میں سوشل میڈیا اور انٹرنیٹ پر بھی قدغن لگا دی گئی ہے۔ اس سب کی وجہ سے پاکستان کا جی ایس پی پلس سٹیٹس بھی خطرے میں ہے۔ انٹرنیٹ میں خلل کی وجہ سے ہماری آئی ٹی انڈسٹری کو 1.72 بلین ڈالر سے زائد کا نقصان ہو چکا ہے اور نوجوانوں کا کیرئیر تباہ ہو رہا ہے۔ چوتھی اہم وجہ ملک کی سب سے بڑی اور مقبول جماعت پر ریاستی دہشتگردی کا سلسلہ مسلسل جاری ہے۔ ہمارے لیڈران اور کارکنان کی چادر چار دیواری کا تقدس پامال کرتے ہوئے ایک لاکھ سے زائد چھاپے مارے گئے، 20 ہزار سے زائد ورکرز اور سپورٹرز کی گرفتاریاں کی گئیں، انہیں اغوا کیا گیا، لوگوں کے خاندانوں کو ہراساں کیا گیا اور تحریک انصاف کو کچلنے کی غرض سے مسلسل انسانی حقوق کی پامالی کی جا رہی ہے جس نے عوامی جذبات کو مجروح کیا ہے۔ پانچویں بڑی وجہ ملک میں سیاسی عدم استحکام کی بدولت معیشت کا برا حال ہے جس نے عوام کو مجبور کر دیا ہے اور وہ پاکستان چھوڑ کر اپنے سرمائے سمیت تیزی سے بیرون ملک منتقل ہو رہے ہیں۔ معاشی عدم استحکام اپنی انتہا پر ہے۔ گروتھ ریٹ صفر ہے اور پاکستان میں سرمایہ کاری نہ ہونے کے برابر ہے۔ کسی بھی ملک میں قانون کی حکمرانی اور عدل کے بغیر سرمایہ کاری ممکن نہیں ہوتی۔ جہاں دہشتگردی کا خوف ہو وہاں کوئی سرمایہ کاری کرنے کو تیار نہیں ہوتا۔ سرمایہ کاری صرف تب آتی ہے جب ملک میں عوامی امنگوں کی ترجمان حکومت قائم ہو اس کے علاوہ سب کلیے بے کار ہیں۔ چھٹی بڑی وجہ تمام اداروں کا اپنے فرائض چھوڑ کر سیاسی انتقام کی غرض سے تحریک انصاف کو کچلنے کا کام کرنا ہے۔ میجر، کرنل سطح کے افراد کی جانب سے عدالتی احکامات کی دھجیاں بکھیرنے کا سلسلہ جاری ہے۔ عدلیہ کے فیصلوں کو جوتے کی نوک پر رکھا جا رہا ہے، جس کی وجہ سے پوری فوج پر نزلہ گر رہا ہے۔ پرسوں اے ٹی سی کے جج نے عدالت میں میری اہلیہ کو شامل تفتیش ہونے کا حکم دیا اس کے باوجود کے وہ آنا چاہتی تھیں کسی نادیدہ قوت نے اس کو سبوتاژ کیا۔ بحیثیت سابق وزیراعظم میرا کام اس قوم کی بہتری کے لیے ان مسائل کی نشاندہی ہے جس کی وجہ سے فوج مسلسل بدنامی کا شکار ہو رہی ہے۔ میری پالیسی پہلے دن سے ایک ہی ہے یعنی فوج بھی میری اور ملک بھی میرا۔ ملکی استحکام اور سلامتی کے لیے ناگزیر ہے کہ فوج اور عوام کے درمیان کی خلیج کم ہو، اور اس بڑھتی خلیج کو کم کرنے کی صرف ایک ہی صورت ہے، اور وہ ہے فوج کا اپنی آئینی حدود میں واپس جانا، سیاست سے خود کو علیحدہ کرنا اور اپنی معین کردہ ذمہ داریاں پوری کرنا، اور یہ کام فوج کو خود کرنا ہو گا ورنہ یہی بڑھتی خلیج قومی سلامتی کی اصلاح میں فالٹ لائنز بن جائیں گی۔”

سابق وزیراعظم عمران خان کا اڈیالہ جیل سے قوم کے نام اہم پیغام “آٹھ فروری کو آپ کا مینڈیٹ چرایا گیا لہذا اس روز کو بطور یوم سیاہ منانے کے لیے آپ سب کو نکلنا ہو گا۔ کسانوں، مزدوروں، وکلاء اور ملک کے ہر مکتبہ فکر سے منسلک افراد کو 8 فروری کو نکل کر اپنے حق پر ڈالے گئے ننگے ڈاکے کے خلاف احتجاج کرنا ہو گا کیونکہ غلام قوم کا کوئی مستقبل نہیں ہوتا اور غلامی سے نجات کے لیے جدوجہد ضروری ہوتی ہے ۔ آٹھ فروری کو اس قوم کا مینڈیٹ چرا کر ملک کو اندھیروں میں دھکیلا گیا۔ پاکستانی قوم نے تمام تر مشکلات کے باوجود جوق در جوق نکل کر تحریک انصاف کے حق میں ووٹ ڈالا مگر آپ کے ووٹ کو پیروں تلے روند کر جمہوریت پر شب خون مارا گیا۔ ملک میں جمہوریت کے ہاتھ پاؤں باندھ کر انسانی حقوق کی دھجیاں بکھیر دی گئیں۔ اوورسیز پاکستانی جمہوریت کی بحالی تک ترسیلات زر میں کمی لا کر اپنا احتجاج ریکارڈ کروائیں- جمہوریت بچانے کے لیے انصاف ناگزیر ہے، 9 مئی اور 26 نومبر کے واقعات پر جوڈیشل کمیشن کا ہمارا مطالبہ اسی لیے ہے تاکہ ان واقعات کے متاثرہ افراد اور خاندانوں کو انصاف مل سکے۔ انصاف دینے کے لیے اخلاقی جرأَت کا ہونا اہم ہے۔ جہاں اخلاقی قوت موجود ہو گی وہاں انصاف بھی ہو گا۔ ایک حقیقی لیڈر میں اخلاقی قوت موجود ہوتی ہے۔ جمہوریت کی بنیاد ہی اخلاقیات پر ہے۔ موجودہ حکومت اخلاقیات سے بالکل عاری ہے کیونکہ انھوں نے اپنے ہینڈلرز کے ساتھ مل کر تاریخ کا سب سے بڑا ڈاکہ مار کر عوام کو ان کے نمائندگان چننے کے حق سے محروم کیا۔ اس ڈاکے کی پردہ پوشی کے لیے مسلسل جعلی اور نا مکمل پارلیمان کے ذریعے قانون سازی کی جا رہی ہے تاکہ حق اور سچ سامنے نہ آئے اور ان کے جھوٹے اقتدار کو طول ملتا رہے۔ ملک میں آئین کی دھجیاں بکھیر دی گئی ہیں، آزادی اظہار رائے پر پابندی ہے، پیکا جیسے قوانین منظور کیے گئے ہیں تاکہ کوئی ان کی فسطائیت کے خلاف آواز نہ اٹھا سکے، الیکٹرانک میڈیا کے بعد سوشل میڈیا پر پابندی لگا کر ملک کو اربوں کا نقصان پہنچایا جا رہا ہے، 26ویں آئینی ترمیم کے ذریعے عدلیہ کے پر کاٹ دئیے گئے ہیں، ججز پر دباؤ ڈالا گیا اور انسانی حقوق کی بدترین پامالی کی جا رہی ہے۔ پر امن سیاسی کارکنان کے ساتھ جانوروں جیسا سلوک کیا جا رہا ہے۔ خفیہ اداروں کا اصل کام سرحدوں کا تحفظ اور دہشتگردی سے بچاؤ ہے، اگر وہ پولیٹیکل انجنئیرنگ اور تحریک انصاف کو توڑنے میں ہی لگے رہیں گے تو سرحدوں کا تحفظ کون کرے گا؟ بلوچستان میں دہشتگردی پنپ رہی ہے اور وہاں کے مسئلے کا کوئی سیاسی حل نہیں نکال رہا۔ بلوچستان سمیت ملک بھر میں جب تک عوامی اعتماد پر مشتمل حکومت نہیں لائی جائے گی، استحکام ممکن نہیں ہے”

We condemn the pressure on the judiciary and the disregard of judicial orders. What freedom can anyone expect in a country where even the justice system is shackled?”2/2

“When all organs and agencies of the state that are mandated by the law to exercise power in order to safeguard life, liberty and democracy stand subjugated by brute force and are acting in aid of persecution and fraud. It is the duty of the Supreme Court of Pakistan to intervene.” Writes the Former Prime Minister Imran Khan in his letters to the Chief Justice of Pakistan, Justice Yahya Afridi, and the head of the constitutional bench, Justice Amin Ud Din Khan, urging the Supreme Court to exercise its constitutional authority to safeguard the fundamental rights of the people of Pakistan. In his letter Imran Khan shares pictorial as well as documentary evidence of some of the ongoing murders, injuries, abductions and torture carried out against members and supporters of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf.

Former Prime Minister Imran Khan's Media Talk in Adiala Jail - January 29, 2025 "In civilized societies, defamation is penalized with fines; it is considered a civil liability. However, in Pakistan, the draconian PECA law was passed, increasing the punishment for defamation to five years. For the first time in world history, individuals are being penalized for insulting government institutions. In developed countries, including the UK, defamation is punished with fines because the world is progressing based on democratic values and freedom of expression. But in Pakistan, such undemocratic laws are being enacted to strangle democratic values, suppress freedom of expression, and suffocate press freedom. The purpose of all this is to ensure that no one dares to speak out against the stolen mandate of February 8th (2024), the violation of citizens' privacy, the false-flag operation of May 9th (2023), or the massacre of November 26th (2024). This puppet government has achieved nothing except violating the fundamental rights of citizens through illegal amendments. The 26th Constitutional Amendment has weakened the judiciary. Despite the presence of senior judges in the Islamabad High Court, attempts are being made to appoint a Chief Justice from outside, who is expected to be Qazi Faez Isa Part 2. We strongly condemn such judicial appointments. The appointment of the Chief Election Commissioner should also be based on merit; otherwise, figures like Sikandar Sultan Raja emerge—those who serve the establishment instead of the people. He deserves to be tried under Article 6 because he facilitated the government of Form 47 [Election fraud and stolen mandate] by stealing the people's mandate in broad daylight. February 8th will be observed as a ‘Black Day’ nationwide. On that day, the public mandate was betrayed. First, elections were postponed, then the May 9 narrative was fabricated to crush PTI. Despite this, the people came out in droves to vote for PTI, but the results were shamelessly and ruthlessly altered, plunging the country into darkness. Now, to cover up the robbery of February 8, laws like PECA and the 26th Amendment are being passed. A lie always needs a hundred more lies to sustain itself. The government staged a sham dialogue, but it only exposed their true faces. They will neither allow the formation of a judicial commission, nor allow investigations into May 9th or November 26th because they fear that the truth will come out. Because the truth is that they are themselves involved in these incidents. A dishonest person never plays with a neutral umpire. In any case, they have no real power; whatever they do is at the behest of the Establishment. The Quran repeatedly emphasizes 'Amr Bil Ma'ruf Wa Nahi Anil Munkar'—standing for what is right and resisting evil. The very foundation of democracy lies in morality. God has described the hallmark of a hypocrite as standing with the wrongdoers. Such people face humiliation both in this world and in the hereafter. There is no cure for shamelessness and dishonor. La ilaha illallah (There is no God, but One) instills dignity in a person. A dishonorable person begs before others instead of relying on God. A nation stands and thrives on self-respect. Otherwise, it remains dependent on handouts. A society can only progress through justice and rule of law. Justice is delivered only by those who uphold morality. The state of Medina was built on these principles, and Muslims ruled the world because of them. If we want to set our direction right, we must focus on teaching ethics, uphold fundamental human rights, and value human life. Otherwise, our future will remain bleak. In the state of Medina, even a Jew [a minority] won a case against the Caliph of the time, Ali (RA). These principles of justice are the true traditions of an Islamic society, which we have forgotten. 1/2

Former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s conversation with his lawyers and representatives of media at Adiala Jail - January 22nd, 2025 “I strongly condemn the illegal raid on Sahibzada Hamid Raza’s home and seminary. The ‘orderly’ [subservient to the Military Establishment] government is pretending to hold talks on one hand and continuing to violate human rights on the other. Following this raid, we are immediately discontinuing all talks (with the government). A raid on the home of our ally, who is the spokesperson of our negotiations team, is an attack on our negotiations committee itself. Such a duplicitous and malicious negotiation process cannot yield anything positive. For the sake of the rule of law, survival of democracy, and respect for human rights in Pakistan, I have instructed my party to take all political parties into confidence. We are working on developing a grand national agenda against this illegitimate government. There is instability everywhere you look in Pakistan. Terrorism is taking root in Balochistan, and no one is looking for a political solution there. The Baloch missing persons issue, for which Mahrang Baloch is raising her voice, is extremely serious. The situation in the entire country is now the same as in Balochistan. Many of our Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party workers are also missing. We stand with those affected by this issue and will raise it with international human rights organizations. Until a government that has the public’s trust is brought in, stability anywhere in the country, including Balochistan, will remain a distant dream. I am not asking the establishment for anything for myself. If I talk to them, it will be only for the benefit of the country and the nation. Real control is in their hands. Everyone else is their puppets, who do as they are told. We demand that a commission comprised of the three most senior judges of the Supreme Court or the Islamabad High Court be formed so that the real culprits responsible for the incidents of May 9th (2023) and November 26th (2024) can be identified. Any other commission would not be acceptable to us. Dishonest people never support neutral umpires. The reason for continuously ignoring our demand for a Judicial Commission is that the government and the establishment are themselves involved in the false flag operation of May 9th and the massacre of November 26th. On May 9th, they deliberately withdrew military and police forces from their posts, set fires themselves, and made CCTV footage disappear to falsely accuse innocent political workers. On November 26th, our people were killed and injured, yet we were labeled as terrorists. At least 14 of our people were martyred, many are injured or missing, and thousands were unjustly imprisoned. Those who are not in jails are having to go from one court to another for bail but are not being heard. Malik Riaz recently said that if he starts to disclose what he knows, many people will be exposed and embarrassed. I ask Malik Riaz to disclose which judges, generals and politicians received bribes and other benefits from him over the last 30 years so that the nation knows who has been involved in dirty deals. The world should know how clean those who lecture about the bogus Al-Qadir (University) Trust case really are. My message for overseas Pakistanis is that sending remittances to this government is akin to staining your own hands with blood. Completely boycott remittances to this regime, which is complicit in the massacre of its own citizens.”

*Former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s conversation with his lawyers and representatives of media at Adiala Jail - January 20, 2025* “The “orderly” [subservient to the Military Establishment] government is gripped by fear and plagued by constant nightmares. Their first nightmare, which has totally unnerved them, is the fear of Imran Khan’s release. The second nightmare is the fear of the truth about Forms 47 [election fraud] being exposed. Waking up frightened by these nightmares, they start chanting about May 9th (2023) False Flag. Out of this fear, they got me convicted by a judge devoid of conscience, who had been declared unfit for judicial service by the Supreme Court in 2004. The Al-Qadir University project had been running long before the agreement between Malik Riaz and the NCA. Neither our cabinet played any role in the Al-Qadir Trust matter nor transferred this amount to the Supreme Court. The cabinet only approved the confidentiality of the Non-Disclosure Agreement so that such a large amount of foreign exchange could flow into Pakistan. The so-called ‘sealed envelope’ can be opened by the government and investigative agencies. Open it and tell the public what’s written inside so that truth is revealed. Zulfi Bukhari had requested to appear in this case via video link or through the embassy because if he came to Pakistan, the court would not protect him, and he would either be arrested or get abducted and subjected to torture like our other political workers. His house was unlawfully raided, his property was damaged, his family was harassed, and he was offered deals (if he wanted a stop to this state terrorism). Shahzad Akbar repeatedly offered to testify, but since the fake government had already decided to convict me in this case, they were not allowed to appear via a video link or through the embassy. Even Shahzad Akbar’s brother was abducted [to force him into becoming a witness against Khan]. The Al-Qadir Trust is a welfare institution through which underprivileged students are introduced to the life of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Neither my wife nor I have obtained any personal benefit from it. Bushra Bibi was previously jailed for nine-and-a-half months to punish her for supporting me. Dragging housewives into politics is shameful and against our morals and traditional values. Bushra Begum is a woman of strong nerves. She is not my weakness, but my strength. They can file as many cases against me as they want. I will not opt for a deal like Nawaz Sharif or Zardari. I prefer staying in jail over making a deal with them. I will face the courts and emerge from prison through the power of justice. I prefer staying in jail over striking a deal with them. Neither my cases nor my release have anything to do with negotiations with the government or with anyone else. If the negotiation process is sabotaged, it will be due to the government’s lack of seriousness and failure to establish a judicial commission. Our innocent, unarmed people were martyred and their families look to us to ensure they get justice. Negotiations without establishing a judicial commission are meaningless. I instruct Salman Akram Raja and Barrister Gohar to write to the Chief Justice and the head of the constitutional bench, Justice Aminuddin Khan, requesting that our human rights cases be heard on a priority basis. They should also write to international human rights organizations about this. Ali Amin Gandapur should write to the apex committee and respond to Shahbaz Sharif’s baseless allegations. We are not seeking any favors from anyone. We only demand justice according to the law. The state of the judiciary after the 26th Constitutional Amendment is lamentable. What happened in the Supreme Court today is a result of this amendment. Legislation passed by incomplete assemblies contradicts fundamental rights. 1/2

Former Prime Minister Imran Khan's Conversation with His Lawyers and Representatives of the Media at Adiala Jail - January 18, 2025 "The political victimization of women and the tarnishing of their dignity is against our societal, moral, and religious values. Bushra Bibi is not a politician. Targeting her just to pressure me is absolutely condemnable. She has had to endure cruelty only because she is my wife. Using women as targets in politics is the height of moral decay. Let me reiterate that our party workers, including myself, would prefer being in jail over accepting the dictatorship of Yahya Khan Part 2. I will not compromise on the struggle for our genuine freedom, no matter how much pressure is exerted on me. The Hamoodur Rahman Commission report states clearly that Yahya Khan split the country in two to save his own hold on power. Even today, Yahya Khan Part 2 is playing the same game. Human rights are being blatantly trampled upon in Pakistan under a brutal dictatorship hidden behind the veil of a so-called democratic government. Heinous mental and physical torture has been inflicted on prisoners in military custody. Even now, no visits are being permitted with those still in custody. This is unconstitutional, and a violation of their fundamental human rights. Over 100,000 raids were conducted on homes of PTI supporters in Punjab alone. Thousands of innocent workers were arrested. Even women and children were not spared. PTI stands firm despite all this. Only those who live under the shadow of fear compromise on principles and ideology. I fear no one but God. Faith gives one the strength to never bow down to anyone. Only those who lack faith bow down (in fear). Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), who was the greatest leader of all time, taught us through his life that no matter how intense the trials, one must remain steadfast for the truth and never bow down to anyone but God. Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's struggle is to ensure the ascendancy of democracy, the rule of law, independent judiciary and media, and the protection of basic civil rights. We will succeed because we are on the side of the truth. I will struggle for it until my last breath, and my nation must not back down either! The verdict in the Al-Qadir Trust case has exposed Pakistan’s judiciary to global ridicule. In a clumsy attempt to distort facts, the sold-out media labeled it a ‘sham trust.’ The Al-Qadir Trust is neither Bilawal House nor Avenfield House — it is an institution aimed at introducing students to the Seerah [life, example, and experiences] of the Prophet. It is obvious that Malik Riaz was threatened, leading his son to buy a property in London worth nine billion rupees for eighteen billion. The prosecution has not yet been able to prove money-laundering took place. Yet, charges were filed against me and my wife, who did not derive financial benefit of even a single penny. If the charge against me is due to holding public office, on what grounds was Bushra Bibi, a housewife, targeted? Another absurdity is the government’s takeover of Al-Qadir University, which isn’t even government property. Under what law can the government seize trust property? The so-called ‘sealed envelope’ can be opened by the government and investigation agencies. They should reveal its contents to the public so the truth can come out. But nothing will be made public when the sole purpose of a case is propaganda and a barrage of lies. We will observe February 8th as a Black Day nationwide. On this day, the mandate of the Pakistani people was blatantly stolen. A fake government was imposed through rigged Form 47 (election) results, disregarding the people's will. I direct Ali Amin Gandapur to organize caravans from across KP to gather in Peshawar on February 8th for protests. I also instruct the legal community, including the Insaf Lawyers Forum and other (PTI) wings, to observe this day with vigorous protests. 1/2

Former Prime Minister Imran Khan's conversation with his lawyers and representatives of media in Adiala Jail - January 10, 2025 “Bushra Bibi is a homemaker and a modest woman who observes full veil. False and baseless cases have been filed against her solely to put pressure on me. The Al-Qadir case is part of the same campaign. Bushra Bibi was confined to a room at our Bani Gala residence for three months. She had to file a petition in the High Court requesting to be treated like a regular prisoner. She was then incarcerated in Adiala Jail for nine months under the harshest conditions, which served no purpose other than to pressure us. Bushra Bibi has not been in contact with anyone. Any claims to the contrary are mere propaganda. Our negotiations committee is handling these matters. I strongly condemn the social media campaign against Bushra Bibi. I categorically deny the insinuation that my release had been agreed if our march stopped at Sangjani. Controversies like the Sangjani issue have been used to deflect attention from actual issues. I fully understand the government's malicious intent. Having served as Prime Minister for three and a half years, I know exactly how they operate. Reaching Islamabad's D-Chowk with our workers was a victory for Bushra Bibi, and I commend her for this achievement. She only followed my instructions."

Former Prime Minister Imran Khan's conversation with his lawyers and representatives of media in Adiala Jail - January 10, 2025 " The government's non-serious attitude towards negotiations is evident from the fact that I haven't even been allowed to meet with my negotiation committee yet. It seems like the purpose of negotiations is merely to waste time so that public reaction over the November 26th Islamabad massacre starts to fade. Peaceful citizens were massacred on November 26th; they were directly shot at, and D-Chowk was drenched in their blood. Many of our people are still missing. In any civilized society, those responsible for such shootings would have been held accountable, but this government has not even managed to form a judicial commission yet. A judicial commission acts as a (neutral) third umpire. Only an impartial commission can provide justice to the martyrs of November 26th (2024) and May 9th (2023). If this massacre is swept under the rug, no one’s life or property in Pakistan will be safe. My unequivocal message is that if the government continues to remain non-serious about the negotiation process and fails to form a judicial commission, then negotiations will be discontinued after the next meeting. The false flag operation on May 9th was also orchestrated by the establishment. Army and police personnel were removed from checkpoints on that day, fires were deliberately set, and the CCTV footage was stolen. We demand transparent investigations into both these incidents and have repeatedly appealed to the Supreme Court for this. The Constitution, law, and human rights have been violated in this country over the past three years. The sanctity of people’s homes has been violated, and they have been abducted, tortured, and oppressed. Their homes and businesses have been ravaged. Life has been made unbearable for every ticket-holder of our party in their constituencies. Even my own house has been wrecked twice. In this regard, we approached the Lahore High Court. A five-member bench headed by Justice Baqir Najafi heard this case, but the verdict has been reserved for one-and-a-half years and is yet to be announced. Later, we approached Justice Aamer Farooq in the Islamabad High Court and Qazi Faez Isa in the Supreme Court, but both played the role of the establishment’s opening batsmen. While in military custody, our innocent people were subjected to severe mental and physical torture. According to my information, three young men attempted suicide during custody. Sami Wazir’s condition is a stark testament to this brutality. What happened to PTI leaders like Shahbaz Gill and Azam Swati is no secret. Zille Shah was brutally murdered, and Intezar Panjutha was treated worse than animals. What kind of justice is this? Those who leave PTI are absolved of any charges related to May 9th, while those who refuse are subjected to all kinds of torture and pressure? We haven't obtained justice despite repeatedly appealing to Pakistan’s judicial system, leaving us with no choice but to raise our voice on international forums. Pakistan’s government is bound by international laws and treaties regarding human rights. I have instructed our lawyers to take these matters to global forums and draw the world’s attention to the ongoing human rights violations in Pakistan. My message to overseas Pakistanis is that democracy and human rights have been obliterated in Pakistan, to be replaced by the law of the jungle. Your boycott of foreign currency remittances is critical. Your loved ones in Pakistan deserve the same rights that you enjoy abroad. Who will fight terrorists when all (intelligence) agencies are deployed to crush a political party? Supreme Court judges, Justice Athar Minallah and Justice Mandokhail, have also remarked that intelligence agencies have been engaged in political engineering. 1/2
