Update @ 1730: Imran Khan has started a Hunger Strike until Judiciary is restored

Through very reliable sources with in the Pakistan Tehrek-e-Insaf, it has come to point that Imran Khan while being imprisoned under Anti-Terrorism charges in Dera Ghazi Khan jail has gone on a hunger strike until the restoration of the Judiciary of Pakistan to its pre-martial law November 3rd status.

UPDATE 1740:
ISLAMABAD (AFP) – Pakistani cricket hero Imran Khan began a hunger strike Monday in the prison where he was sent last week for protesting against emergency rule, his spokesman told AFP. He said Khan, who now heads his own opposition party, wanted a restoration of the constitution and reinstatement of judges sacked when Persident Pervez Musharraf imposed the emergency just over two weeks ago. “Imran Khan has gone on hunger strike for an indefinite period,” spokesman Saifullah Niazi said. “He is demanding the restoration of the judiciary and restoration of the constitution,” Niazi said.

Khan is in Deraghazi Khan jail, normally used to house terror detainees and hardened prisoners. He was picked up last Wednesday and charged under a section of anti-terror legislation which stipulates a minimum punishment of at least seven years and up to life in prison. Khan had been put under house arrest after emergency rule was declared on November 3 but slipped the net and went into hiding, communicating via email and video. He was arrested after emerging from hiding last Wednesday at a university campus in the eastern city of Lahore. Lahore police said then that he would face charges for inciting people to pick up arms, calling for civil disobedience and “spreading hatred.” Khan, who led Pakistan to cricket World Cup glory in 1992, had called for Musharraf to face the death penalty for imposing emergency rule.

    Musharraf has gone mad. He isn’t even in abnormal condition. People like IMRAN look to him like terrorist while ALTAF is in his lap.

    The man who gave pakistan WORLD CUP, the man who gave pakistan a cancer hospital of INTERNATIONAL repute and he is builing more in Punjab & future plans include one in KARAACHI, such a treatment is tantamount to proclaim a draconian master.

    MUSH is ASIAN hitler of his time. He has no regards to humanity, justice and freedom. Just look at the list of people around him, all thieves and criminals.

    I pray him to get worst of punishment from ALLAH.

    If one gives a serious thought, Imran is the most accomplished person than any of the people on the scene today. He is Oxford educated, He is the best cricketing captain Pakistan ever had, He built the best and most modern hospital in Pakistan. He showed Pakistanis the way to do it. The problem is, he is before his time. I would think, he is far more precious to be lost to the pride of a singe egomaniac occupying the capital today. I would not like him to be going through a hunger strike. The nation today is in a state of apathy. The nation has lost its spirit and the present leadership has sold its soul to the devil. Imran should just bide time and wait for the tide to turn. I wish him success. I wish him health. I think he has yet too much to accomplish than to lose his life at the altar of some stupid Pakistani politicos.
