United Nations Committee Against Torture (CAT)’s recent demand regarding Imran Khan’s unlawful detention
The United Nations Committee Against Torture (CAT)’s recent demand regarding Imran Khan’s unlawful detention and the grave violations of fundamental human rights during his custody serves as an international charge sheet against Pakistan’s justice system and prison manual. The UN’s serious questions over the unlawful restrictions on access to doctors, lawyers, and family members, prolonged solitary confinement, and the denial of legal protections have proven that international laws are being openly violated to target the founder of PTI for political revenge. The state must ensure immediate implementation of the UN’s demands, rather than facing further embarrassment on global forums, and provide legal and medical rights in accordance with international standards to Imran Khan and all political prisoners. #EndUnlawfulDetentionOfKhan
