Hello & Welcome Everyone! This Appeal is to be signed for the Pakistan authorities to must immediately release journalist Imran Riaz Khan and ensure that members of the press can work freely and without fear of reprisal.

On the evening of Tuesday, July 5, police on the outskirts of Islamabad, the capital, arrested Khan, an anchor with the privately-owned broadcaster Express News and host of a YouTube channel with over 3 million subscribers.

Police arrested him in response to a complaint filed to authorities in Attock, in northeast Punjab province, according to those reports. A court in Attock ordered that Khan be freed on Thursday, but police from the Punjab city of Chawkal re-arrested him outside the courtroom immediately after his release & soon after getting bail from Chakwal City Police he got arrested by Lahore City Police with same charges and fraudulent FIR lodged on the order of current law minister who was allegedly involved in murder of 15 people in model town protesting outside the residence of X Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.

“The repeated arrests of Pakistani journalist Imran Riaz Khan and the slew of cases registered against him are pure harassment, and must come to an immediate end “Authorities must immediately release Khan and ensure that journalists can safely and freely comment on state institutions, including the military.”

Please sign this Petition So We move towards free state of Pakistan.
