About this episode
Pakistan’s political crisis is once again putting the government and judiciary on a collision course, with the government challenging a Supreme Court order allowing jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan to be moved to hospital for medical checks.
Award-winning Pakistani journalist and co-founder of The Dissident Club in Paris, Taha Siddiqui, joins Radio Islam International to unpack the latest developments, the growing tensions between Pakistan’s civilian government and judiciary, and what the confrontation could mean for Imran Khan.
Siddiqui also discusses Khan’s enduring popularity despite years of incarceration, the pressure facing his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, and the wider crisis facing press freedom in Pakistan. With mainstream media increasingly constrained and journalists navigating invisible red lines and widespread self-censorship, the interview examines whether attempts to silence Khan may actually be strengthening his political appeal.
