Anchorperson and journalist Imran Riaz Khan was stopped on Friday at Lahore’s Allama Iqbal International Airport from leaving the country.

The FIA immigration officials said that he was off-loaded from the Dubai-bound flight early Friday morning.

Imran Riaz Khan’s name was on no-fly list. The FIA had added it at the request of the Punjab Police.

Police were informed about Imran Riaz’s attempt to leave the country, it said.

Following this, the anchorperson returned home from the airport.

Imran Riaz Khan case​

Imran Riaz Khan was arrested near Islamabad Interchange late on July 6, SAMAA TV reported.

According to SAMAA TV, he was arrested by Attock Police and was shifted to the jurisdiction police station.

At least 17 first information reports (FIRs) were lodged against Imran Riaz Khan recently, who has been a vocal critic of the incumbent government and the so-called ‘regime change conspiracy’ executed through a no-confidence motion, resulting in the ouster of Imran Khan as the prime minister.

Punjab Law Minister Malik Ahmed Khan said that Imran Riaz Khan had been arrested from the jurisdiction of Punjab since he was nominated in several FIRs which have been registered against him in the province.

He said that the impression that the journalist was held from within Islamabad’s jurisdiction was wrong.

He added that the suspect was apprehended from Attock district in the Rawalpindi division.

However, a video of Imran Riaz Khan’s arrest, recorded by his companion and fellow journalist, showed that the anchorperson was in a car and they had entered the toll plaza at the edge of Islamabad but had not yet crossed over, when he was asked to exit the vehicle by around a dozen police officers and was then escorted away.

Imran Riaz Khan’s lawyer, Mian Ali Ashfaque later told media that the video and statements from witnesses suggested that the anchorperson was still within Islamabad when he was led away by police.

After two days, he had released from the police custody.

  • Shares video of prison cell where Riaz was detained.
  • Says those responsible should be ashamed.
Former prime minister and PTI Chairman Imran Khan has said that senior journalist Imran Riaz Khan — who was arrested earlier this month — was kept in a "cage" where civilised countries wouldn't even keep animals.
Riaz, however, was later released on bail after spending some days behind bars. The entire PTI leadership has been vocal about the treatment given to the journalist, calling it "unjust". They widely condemned the arrest and cases against him.

Although he is a free citizen, not an elected or public official, not wanted by any court, and not an absconder (unlike some), and has a full right to go wherever he wants abroad, in the interest of fairness, and since he has been politically critical of N league and others (and rightly so), he should tell publicly what sort of a test he is going for and why it cannot be done in Pakistan.

That's only fair.

Toxicology test ....

He in Pakistan has consult for this and Pakistani Doctors shown 90% probability that he was given some poisonous element, but due to his current political exposure/situation doctors are hesitant to confirm anything officially.

I dont think the incumbent imported government and its handlers are stupid enough to poison him.

Sounds like he is trying to flee the country, I dont blame him. He must be going through alot of stress.

Getting a toxicology test, and just taking a picture of the results, without any medical identifier should be simple enough.

President Alvi again urges PM Shehbaz to protect journalists from harassment

Dispatches letter based on a complaint from anchorperson Arshad Sharif

President Dr Arif Alvi on Friday once again urged Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to protect journalists from harassment.

In his second letter in a week, Alvi wrote to Shehbaz and asked the latter to direct the relevant ministries and departments to take remedial measures and preemptive actions to alleviate the apprehensions and grievances of journalists and media persons against harassment, physical abuse and violence.

Attaching a letter from anchorperson Arshad Sharif, Alvi said that his attention had been drawn to incidents of harassment of certain journalists. Sharif had alleged that some unscrupulous elements were threatening to endanger his life and requested the president to safeguard his fundamental rights as enshrined in Articles 4, 9, 10A, 14, 18, 19 and 19A of the Constitution of Pakistan.

“The Constitution urges the state to provide due rights and protection to individuals,” the President wrote, adding, “Pakistan has always strived to do so, but in the case of journalists and media persons, if they feel pressurized, fair criticism within the bounds of the law, freedom of expression and then democracy itself is threatened.”

This is the second letter that Alvi has written to Shehbaz on this topic.

Earlier on July 7, Alvi wrote to the prime minister after the arrest of anchorperson Imran Riaz Khan from Attock and assault on columnist Ayaz Amir in Lahore.

In the letter, Alvi expressed his deep concern over the increasing trend of harassment and torture of journalists and media personnel in the country.

Alvi had also raised the issue of FIRs registered against Arshad Sharif along with Sami Ibrahim, Sabir Shakir, Imran Riaz Khan and Moeed Pirzada at various police stations.
