جو رپورٹ سامنے آئی ہے اس سے یہ ثابت ہو گیا کہ وقت کا یزید بے شرم بھی ہے اور ظالم بھی۔ عمران لی ایک آنکھ کی بینائی مکمل ختم ہو گئی۔ لیکن علاج نہ کروایا گیا۔ اور صرف آئی ڈراپس دئیے گئے۔ آنکھ کی بینائی صرف 15% رہ گئی۔
یہ ظلم ہے ہمیں اس کے خلاف کھڑا ہونا پڑے گا۔

The material fact is that Imran Khan’s left eye was damaged during the time access to his lawyers & family was blocked by the regime. There was no way for Imran Khan to communicate about his health and receive proper treatment in time.
