Imran Khan Calls for Justice and Transparency in Pakistan's Violence Cases

In Rawalpindi, Pakistan, former Prime Minister Imran Khan, currently in Adiala Jail, addressed lawyers and media, urging for a transparent investigation and the formation of a judicial commission regarding the violence on November 26 and May 9. He emphasized the need to address violence against Pakistan Tehreek-I-Insaaf (PTI) members internationally and highlighted Pakistan's economic challenges.

Concerns Over Negotiations

Khan criticized the lack of seriousness in ongoing negotiations, noting his exclusion from meetings with the negotiating committee. He suggested that the negotiations aim to reduce public reaction to the November 26 Islamabad massacre, where peaceful citizens were killed.

Call for Judicial Commission

Khan stressed the importance of an impartial judicial commission to bring justice to the victims of the November 26 and May 9 incidents. He described the severe torture faced by innocent people in military custody and the failure to achieve justice through Pakistan's legal system, prompting the need to raise these issues internationally.

Economic and Political Instability

Quoting a World Bank report, Khan highlighted that 13 million more people have fallen below the poverty line. He criticized the targeting of PTI by various institutions, leading to political and economic instability, and accused the government of supporting lawlessness to strengthen a dictatorship plan.
