In an interview with Channel4, Sulaiman said Pakistan offering to be an intermediary in the ceasefire negotiations between Iran and the United States was just its attempt to distract attention from the human rights abuses and “insults to democracy” by the current Shehbaz Sharif regime.Imran Khan’s sons have applied for permission to visit the former Prime Minister in Pakistan after the Supreme Court revealed he has experienced serious vision loss in his right eye while in custody.Earlier this month, Imran Khan, who is the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf, and the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan demanded a judicial probe into the deaths of more than 1,000 people in what they described as “staged encounters” carried out by a special police unit set up under Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz.An HRCP official claimed that over the past year, Punjab’s Crime Control Department (CCD) has killed more than 1,000 suspects in alleged fake encounters without accountability.“The CCD appears to be following a deliberate policy of staging police encounters that result in extrajudicial killings,” the HRCP official was quoted as saying by news agency PTI.Stay updated with the latest - Click here to follow us on Instagram© IE Online Media Services Pvt LtdTags:Imran KhanAdvertisementLoading Recommendations...Apr 25: Latest News01Virat Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal fire RCB to five-wicket win over GT in Chinnaswamy farewell02Trump dispatches Witkoff, Kushner to Pakistan for new talks with Iran’s foreign minister, JD Vance won’t attend: White House03Why even paid seats aren’t guaranteed: The lesson one passenger learned on a Pune-Bengaluru flight04Midnight matches, money parked in cricket: Why Indian broadcasters are shying away from FIFA World Cup05UPSC Essentials | Daily subject-wise quiz : Economy MCQs on PM SVANidhi scheme, Coffee in India and more (Week 159)Live BlogUbse.uk.gov.in, UK Board Result 2026 Out Live Updates: Geetika Pant, Sushila top intermediate results4 minutes agoBhoot Bangla Box Office Collection Day 8 Live Updates: Akshay Kumar-starrer surpasses Kesari 2’s lifetime collection, earns Rs 145 cr7 minutes agoUS Iran War News Live Updates: US envoys to go to Pakistan for peace talks but Iran says no direct meeting planned9 minutes agoCUET PG Result 2026 Live Updates: Result declared at exams.nta.nic.in/cuet-pg, 5.04 lakh appeared59 minutes agoTop News Headlines of April 24, 2026 | Trump dispatches Witkoff, Kushner to Pakistan for new talks with Iran’s foreign minister, JD Vance won’t attend: White House8 hours ago
