    Imran Riaz Khan Reportedly Leaves Pakistan, Reaches UK

    Prominent Pakistani journalist and anchorperson Imran Riaz Khan has reportedly left Pakistan and arrived in the United Kingdom. Sources claim he disguised himself as a Baloch to avoid detection. His departure raises concerns about press freedom and journalist safety in Pakistan.

    Imran Riaz, a vocal supporter of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, has faced multiple legal challenges. In June 2024, he was arrested at Lahore’s Allama Iqbal International Airport over allegations of financial fraud in a money lending case but was later released. His strong stance against the establishment has put him under legal and political pressure.

    Reports suggest that he went to great lengths to leave the country undetected. Sources indicate he even considered altering his appearance, including shaving his beard, to avoid recognition. While the details remain unclear, his move to the UK highlights the challenges journalists face when expressing dissenting views in Pakistan.

    Imran Riaz’s departure underscores the threats journalists encounter in the country. Those critical of the government often face legal troubles or intimidation. His decision to leave emphasizes the risks faced by media professionals challenging the status quo.

    For further insights, his first interview after reaching the UK is expected to shed light on his ordeal and plans.
