There is growing fear that Imran Khan might be killed/assassinated while in custody. Imran Khan expressed this concern to the judge in charge in the court today.

The situation in Pakistan is deteriorating badly, affecting people's lives but also undermining the unity and cohesion of state institutions, including the armed forces.

One indication of this is the participation of retired officers in attacking the homes of state security leaders believed to have ordered the very undignified arrest operation against a former Prime Minister and the country's most popular leader.

There are credible reports of differences among senior officers on how Imran Khan has been treated and the violations of the constitution and rule of law to serve the ambitions of a few. Murdering Imran Khan will make things a lot worse in the country.

In addition, Pakistan will face international condemnation, isolation, and even sanctions. The establishment should embrace national reconciliation, rule of law, and democracy by agreeing on a date for elections.

As there is no flight risk, Imran Khan should be released from detention and appropriate measures must be taken to guarantee his security.

I hope the leaders of the establishment in Pakistan will find the courage and wisdom to recognize that the current course leads directly over the precipice.
