This is Khan.

As Chair of the APPG on Kashmir, our letter to the Foreign Secretary now has the support of over 50 Parliamentarians. We remain deeply concerned by reports of a continued lockdown, a communications blackout, arrests and escalating tensions. The UK Government must use all appropriate diplomatic channels to support de-escalation, the immediate lifting of the blockade, restoration of communications and a peaceful resolution through table talks that respect the human rights of Kashmiris at the heart of it.

Finally, a man who chooses humanity over politics and pays the price for it. A doctor, a humanist, someone who has spent years serving others, now being targeted simply for speaking the truth. Dr. Shehzad was reported for raising his voice against the illegal incarceration of Dr. Yasmeen Rashid. Let that sink in. What’s more alarming is not just the act itself, but where it’s coming from. Reported not only abroad, but by the also in Pakistan. We don’t need to look far for oppression when it’s being enabled from within. The masks are not foreign, they’re familiar. But men like Dr. Shehzad expose that system. They refuse to bow, to stay quiet, to trade conscience for comfort or titles. And that is exactly why they are targeted. Shehzad Bhai, your courage unsettles those who thrive on silence. Your integrity stands in contrast to a culture that rewards compliance. And your voice reminds us that truth, no matter how inconvenient, still has defenders. We don’t just appreciate you. We stand with you. #Appna #pti #Freedryasminrashid
