LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan on Friday demanded the immediate release of Senator Azam Swati.
In his series of Tweets, Imran Khan condemned the ‘vengeful’ manner in which Senator Azam Swati is being treated as shocking and condemnable.
“He was moved to PIMS early morning after suffering severe chest pains & breathing issues. While test results were awaited, Quetta police got him discharged & took him away endangering his life.”
Equally outrageous is what is being considered such a great crime would in entire civilised world be considered his democratic right to criticise. He must be released immediately. Sad to see our justice system unwilling to stop repeated violations of Swati’s basic human rights.

Imran Khan further said it is sad to see our justice system unwilling to stop repeated violations of Azam Swati’s basic human rights.
