Trump's Envoy Calls for Imran Khan to Be Released from Pakistani Prison

 


A former envoy of former U.S. President Donald Trump has demanded that Imran Khan, Pakistan's former Prime Minister, be released from a prison in the country. Imran Khan was arrested earlier this year on charges of corruption and has been in jail ever since. The imprisonment of the former prime minister has caused mass protests and unrest in the country.


The unnamed Trump envoy described Imran Khan's detention as a "gross violation of human rights" and urged that he be released immediately. According to the envoy, Imran Khan's imprisonment is politically motivated and is an attempt by the current Pakistani government to silence a prominent opposition leader.


Other international observers and human rights groups have echoed calls for the release of Imran Khan, citing concerns about democracy and the rule of law in Pakistan. They have argued that the charges against Imran Khan are weak and that his arrest indicates the government's intolerance for dissent.


However, the Pakistani government claims Imran Khan is being kept responsible for his doings and that the charges lodged against him are legal ones. They have also stated that Imran Khan's speech has been responsible for instigating violence among people and causing the balance of the country to be unstable.


Despite the calls for his release, Imran Khan remains in prison, and the situation in Pakistan remains tense. The country is experiencing various economic and political challenges, and the current political crisis is only adding to the uncertainty and instability.


The Trump envoy's intervention has internationalized the issue further, and it is to be seen how the situation will develop in the coming weeks and months. Whatever the outcome, it is clear that the fate of Imran Khan and the future of Pakistan's democracy will continue to be closely watched by the international community.

New Defamation Law Causes Trouble in Punjab

Image
  The new defamation law in Punjab has caused a great deal of controversy since acting Governor Malik Muhammad Ahmad Khan signed it into law. The bill was first voted by the Punjab Assembly on May 20th, and it has now been formally enacted despite protests from journalists, digital rights campaigners, and human rights organisations. The law's legislative process has been criticised for what is viewed as a lack of transparency and for allegedly being dishonest. The measure was approved by the interim governor, Sardar Salim Khan, who was accused of political manoeuvring because the permanent governor was not there. The law's opponents claim that it restricts free expression and specifically targets dissident voices that are critical of the powerful. Bolo Bhi's Farieha Aziz has expressed concerns that the law could be used to stifle resistance by imposing steep fines and providing few opportunities for protection. There have been numerous legal challenges, including petitions...
