Today I'm reminded of this poem, Horatius, by Thomas Babbington Macaulay. I post this verse here for all those who resist Empires, whether corporate or political, and who sacrifice their lives and liberty for the rest of us. Heroism is never forgotten.

No justification for keeping Imran Khan's family like this. There is honour in war too. This is cruelty.
Noreen Niazi's family needs to be given access to her. The skies will not fall. Imran Khan's sisters need to be released.
Again, I request our parliamentary and party leadership to stop pointing guns inwards, set their house in order, and engage the govt to take positive action on this.
I have just returned from the Punjab Institute of Cardiology. Noreen Niazi's entire family, including her daughters, has been waiting outside the ICU for the last three days, yet not a single family member has been allowed to see her. Even more disturbing is that the family has not been informed about her medical condition. They have not been told what happened to her, what diagnosis has been made, what tests have been conducted, what the reports reveal, what treatment or medication has been prescribed or even what symptoms she is experiencing. The family is left waiting outside the ICU, completely in the dark about their mother's health. Meanwhile, approximately 25–30 policemen are deployed at the hospital. This complete lack of transparency and communication is unacceptable. Her daughters and family deserve to know about their mother's health, diagnosis, medical reports and treatment. They deserve answers

All his sisters, wife, nephew, and he himself are behind bars.
Most of us fear losing our loved ones or seeing them injured during a protest. And this family is enduring every form of state-inflicted violence and still standing tall. 💔
This family is built different.

بھائی کی خاطر کبھی گرفتار ہوتی ہے تو کبھی گھر پر حملہ ہوتا ہے، کبھی بالوں سے گھسیٹا جاتا ہے تو کبھی زیر تعمیر نالے میں گر جاتی ہے
کبھی واٹر کینن سے حملہ ہوتا ہے تو کبھی شیلنگ اور آنسو گیس کا سامنا کرتی ہے
اور آج بھائی کی خاطر ICU پہنچ گئیں 💔

Day 40.
On 28 October, my aunt @Noreen_KhanPK was moved from Kot Lakhpat Jail to the Punjab Institute of Cardiology. No one told the family.
Today she was moved back to jail. Again, no one told us.
We don’t know why she was taken to a cardiac hospital.
We don’t know what tests were done.
No family consent was sought.
We don’t know how much danger she is in.
What we do know: there were armed police every few feet at PIC.
What are they so afraid of?
My mother @DrUzma_KhanPK and my aunts @Aleema_KhanPK and @Noreen_KhanPK have been held in Kot Lakhpat Jail since 21 September under Section 3 of the Punjab Maintenance of Public Order Ordinance, 1960. No charge. No trial.
Their only “crime” is standing up for their brother, @ImranKhanPTI.
@HRCP87 has condemned the misuse of the MPO against political workers before. We ask you to speak now.
Charge them or release them.

جیل جانے سے قبل نورین خان نیازی کو کوئی تکلیف نہیں تھی وہ بالکل صحت مند تھیں یہ سب جیل جانے کے بعد ہوا ہے، جیل میں ان کو کسی سے نہیں ملنے دیا گیا عمران خان صاحب تو مضبوط آدمی ہیں وہ ایک سال سے قید تنہائی برداشت کررہے ہیں خواتین اتنی مضبوط نہیں ہیں کہ قید تنہائی برداشت کر سکیں اس لیے بیمار ہوئیں، ان تینوں بہنوں نے بھی بہت فسطائیت برداشت کی، ان کو گھسیٹا گیا زہریلی واٹر کینن ماری گئیں، رات کے تین تین بجے چکری کے جنگل میں چھوڑ آتے تھے لیکن یہ نہیں ٹوٹیں، یہ اس طرح خان کو توڑنے کی کوشش کررہے ہیں خان نہیں ٹوٹے گا اس نے کہا تھا میں ان کو رلاؤں گا ان شاء اللہ رلائے گا۔ بہنوئی احد خان

“His health is failing. One of his eyes is going. They won’t let his sons fly from England to visit him. They won’t allow anyone there to visit him. He is rotting away in a Rawalpindi jail. Disgraceful and horrendous that a man who has so honorably represented his nation is being treated by his own country.”

Imran Khan's sister Noreen Niazi was rushed from jail to a cardiac hospital with a heart attack. Her brother-in-law says she never had heart issues before her arrest and that the Asim Munir regime denied her family access to her. Her health, he says, failed only in jail.

🇵🇰 Imran Khan’s son says Pakistan’s rulers are TRYING TO KILL his father.
“It is clear that they are trying to kill him.”
Those words come from a son who says no one has seen or heard from his father since August.
Back then, Sulaiman says, Imran spoke out about being tortured, and warned the regime was trying to kill him the way Egypt’s government did Mohamed Morsi, who died behind bars.
His son says even a Supreme Court order from August, for Imran to be assessed and treated at a private hospital and to get regular visits from family and lawyers, is still being ignored.
So now Sulaiman is doing what no child should ever have to do, naming in advance who he’ll blame if the worst happens: army chief Asim Munir, with the government’s approval.
No son should have to fight this hard just to see his father again.

Today, one of my constituents is on trial in Lesvos, simply for trying to rescue refugees drowning at sea. These baseless charges must be dropped immediately.

Imran khan is about to be killed by the asim munir dictatorship in Pakistan. His whole family has been locked up for more than 40 days now. The cia owned asset and their puppet are working as envoys for trump to maintain control over the country. Meanwhile everything is failing inside of the country itself
Imran Khan’s son says his father had previously warned that he could suffer a similar fate to former Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi

Pakistan’s mainstream journalism is 50% victim-blaming, 30% cheering for the regime in power, and 20% playing the victim card over trolling.
Hard to respect those who have chosen to serve power instead of speaking truth to it.

El señor Zelenski debería mirar bien estas imágenes… Es el líder de la Revolución cubana, Fidel Castro, recibiendo a miles de niños ucranianos que sufrieron exposición a radiación en el accidente de Chernobyl… fueron recibidos en Cuba y tratados integralmente durante más de 20 años sin ningún costo, como un deber humano con el pueblo soviético.
Ayer, Zelenski, en “agradecimiento” por aquel gesto, votó en la ONU a favor de que se mantenga el bloqueo cruel y genocida contra mi país… La miseria humana no tiene límites!

There is a special kind of mental sickness that plagues the military regime in Pakistan.
If you find yourself working, supporting, or even tolerating this criminal regime you are part of the problem.

نورین نیازی صاحبہ کی بیٹی حاجرہ کو رات 3 بجے تک ہسپتال کے باہر کھڑا رکھا گیا۔ لیکن ماں سے ملاقات نہیں کروائی گئی۔ آج پھر سارا دن ملاقات نہیں کروائی۔ میڈیکل ریکارڈ ادویات پراسس کیا ہو رہا ہے کچھ نہیں بتایا۔
بے شرم ہیں یہ لوگ۔ ایک بیٹی کو ماں کے لئے تڑپا رہے ہیں۔ یہ ہماری ماؤں بہنوں بیٹیوں سے یہ سلوک کر رہے ہیں جو فرعون نے کیا۔ انکا انجام فرعون والا ہوگا۔
اپنا وقت یاد رکھنا۔ یہ سب لوٹ کر آنا ہے۔ وقت بدل جاتا ہے۔یہ یاد رکھنا۔ کیوں کہ ہمیں یاد رہنا ہے۔

I'm sure the women's right groups will be raising a big hue & cry about this atrocious & inhumane detention and complete lack of fundamental human rights to a 70+ year old woman who has not been charged with any actual crime. We all know why she is behind bars. Anytime now...
For the past few hours, we have been receiving deeply concerning reports circulating on social media that my aunt, @Noreen_KhanPK Noreen Niazi, has been admitted to the Punjab Institute of Cardiology.
Our family was never informed.
We are now standing outside her ward trying to establish her medical condition. The ward door has been chained shut, with police preventing us, her own family, from entering or seeing her.
We are extremely concerned for her health and wellbeing.
My aunt has already endured more than a month in detention, isolated from her family. Now, even in hospital, we are being denied access to her.
What is her medical condition? Why was her family not informed? On whose orders are we being prevented from seeing her?
We demand immediate access to my aunt, a full medical update from her treating doctors, and assurances that she is receiving all necessary medical care.
