On 16th December 2025, sisters and lawyers were denied access to meet Imran Khan once again. In protest, the sisters staged a peaceful sit-in to demand their right to access. In response, the regime used force to defy court orders, demonstrating their blatant disregard for the law and human rights.
But the question remains: Why are water cannons being deployed at two o’clock in the night, in freezing cold, against peaceful protesters, many of whom are women? Why are stones being thrown, baton charges being carried out, and arrests being made?
These people are not out to incite chaos; they are on the streets because a prisoner is being denied meetings with his family. Despite clear legal provisions, jail rules, and court orders allowing such visits, they are being prevented.
The question is: Why are these visits being blocked?
The answer is simple: because the prisoner has declared he will not surrender. He has raised a fundamental question — why has the sacred trust of the people, entrusted to him through their votes, been robbed?
Instead of answering this question, such actions send a message: we do not speak through reason but through force. However, the fundamental principle of history remains unchanged: force can buy temporary silence, but it cannot bury the truth!
