The Prime Minister also invited the singer to participate and contribute towards the government's initiative for the expansion of protected areas, to which she kindly agreed.
The Prime Minister observed that it was indeed a happy moment for all of us that after giving joy and happiness to the people of Islamabad and Pakistan for about 35 years, Kaavan will now be able to retire with other elephants in a specialized sanctuary in Cambodia.
Good news! Relying on key decisions in our US chimpanzee & elephant rights cases, the Islamabad High Court in Pakistan has “without any hesitation” affirmed the legal rights of elephants & other nonhuman animals. As a result, elephant #Kaavan will finally be freed to a sanctuary. 
Justice Athar Minallah's decision is a light gleaming out from the cracks in the legal wall that has long separated humans from all other animals. Slowly but surely, with persistence on the part of all who fight for #animalrights, that wall is crumbling: tinyurl.com/islamabad-high…
May the NY and CT courts, who have in their hands the fates of elephants Happy and Minnie (both, like Kaavan, held in solitary confinement) soon follow suit to #FreeHappy and #FreeMinnie. Congratulations @0waisawan, @ftwglobal, and @cher on your hard-fought victory for Kaavan! ⚖️
