What people are saying
No one has seen or heard from my father since August, when he explicitly said that he was being tortured and that the regime was trying to kill him like Egypt's government did Morsi.
Pakistan's fascist regime, led by military dictator Asim Munir, continue to ignore the Supreme Court order from August for my father to be assessed and treated at the private Shifa International Hospital, as well as for regular access to family visits and access to his lawyers.
It is clear that they are trying to kill him as he is by far the most popular political figure in the country, and they fear him.
Another son forced on to social media & into politics by this venal Pakistani regime …
