A deepfake clip of me circulating online — alongside Imran Khan’s sister — is fabricated & dangerous. This is how trust in journalism is poisoned & how democracies are undermined. We must take the threat of deepfakes more seriously. I discuss with Sophy Ridge & Wilfred Frost

Following my interview with Imran Khan’s sons, a number of AI deepfakes have been circulating. I spoke to Meta Oversight Board member Nighat Dad who told me that social media’s failure to tackle deepfakes is a structural problem — embedded in how platforms operate.

🇵🇰 PAKISTAN MILITARY IS TRYING TO TERRIFY IMRAN KHAN’S SISTERS INTO SILENCE Pakistan’s political crisis has reached a point where even Imran Khan’s sisters say the state is fabricating entire fake narratives to paint their family as traitors. Aleema Khan reacts to the military’s newest accusation: that Imran Khan’s movement is in “deep collusion with external actors.” To sell that story, she says the military’s spokesperson actually showed AI-generated fake videos claiming she and her sister were secretly asking India’s PM Modi to attack Pakistan, something she calls not just ridiculous, but dangerous. She explains that Imran Khan is a global figure with fans far beyond Pakistan, especially across cricket-playing countries like India and Australia. And that’s exactly why, according to her, the establishment is trying to twist foreign interest in him into a conspiracy. For Aleema, the real danger isn’t the bad AI, it’s that the military used those fakes publicly, knowing they were false, to push the idea that Imran Khan and his family are “colluding with India.” "They tried to prove we are anti-Pakistan by using an AI video claiming my sister asked PM Modi to attack Pakistan. There is a huge population beyond Pakistan’s borders that loves Imran Khan, and that worries them. Everyone already knew the videos were deep fakes, yet the military still used them on national TV. It’s irresponsible for a representative of the military to sit on TV and use fake videos to push this narrative." PTI, Aleema Khanum

Imran Khan’s sister, Aleema khanum, says that her brother represents 90% of the people of Pakistan, so by isolating him they are suppressing 90% of the people of Pakistan. I don’t know the exact percentage, but I firmly believe that he is a charismatic leader with a presence and influence over millions of Pakistanis.

🇵🇰 "THEY ARE TRYING TO BREAK HIM, BUT IMRAN KHAN WILL NOT BREAK - TYRANNY IS NOT AN OPTION" Imran Khan’s sister, Aleema Khan, describes a level of fear and uncertainty that goes far beyond politics. Rumors were spreading outside the prison that something might have happened to Imran Khan while he was being kept in isolation. Aleema explains that these rumors didn’t come out of nowhere. She says people close to the situation believe the isolation, the silence, and the controlled information around Khan could be a “test run”: a way to see how the public reacts if something truly dangerous happens to him. She also describes violent treatment of her own family, including their 71-year-old sister being dragged by the police, and how the authorities allegedly used AI-generated fake videos to smear them. For Aleema, none of this feels random. She says this is what happens when a government tries to intimidate a political movement while avoiding accountability, and that the people of Pakistan are growing angrier, not more afraid. "They are trying to break him, but he will not break. My brother says tyranny is not a sustainable model, eventually people rise up. The only name he has ever mentioned is Asim Munir, and that is not the entire military. They used AI deepfakes of me and my sister to frame a false narrative. When they attack women like this, it does not sit well with the people of Pakistan." PTI, Aleema Khanum

🚨INTERVIEW: “THE FEAR ISN’T IMRAN KHAN - IT’S THE PEOPLE OF PAKISTAN” “When you’ve got the judges under your control, when you have given yourself lifetime immunity, then why are you scared of a man in jail? The fear is not of Imran Khan. The fear is of the people in Pakistan.” She says the public is rejecting the old playbook, “60% of young people… are not subscribing to this old script.” Imran warned the government was “intentionally aggravating” tensions with Afghanistan and pushing out refugees abusively. “He’s got no access to family, friends, or lawyers, why would they not let him meet his family at least? This is not looking good.” Aleema Khanum, Imran Khan’s sister. Source: PTI

Imran Khan’s sister Dr Uzma Khan rightly claims that the Govt medical reports talk about symptom but not diagnosis of root cause. The fact that IK is not allowed to meet personal doctors & family makes it very likely that they are hiding something. #ImranKhanNotSafeInAdiala

🚨🇵🇰 PAKISTAN’S POWER STRUCTURE MOVES IN FEAR OF ONE MAN: IMRAN KHAN Imran Riaz just spoke to me about how every major decision in Pakistan now revolves around Imran Khan. He says he interviewed Khan weeks before his arrest and has spoken with his family, and what he sees today is a state fixated on a single political figure. According to Riaz, institutions, constitutional changes, political maneuvering, and even journalism are being shaped by fear of Imran Khan’s influence. Full interview with Imran Riaz Khan below.

🇵🇰 OPINION: THE DEEPFAKES TARGETING IMRAN KHAN’S SISTER A video has gone viral showing Aleema Khan supposedly calling Pakistan’s army chief a radical Islamist who wants war with India. There's only a tiny little problem... She never said it! The interview was real, but the viral clip was not. Sky News and Yalda Hakim confirmed it was a deepfake, crafted to look and sound real enough to fool millions. And that’s the problem. In a country where many people haven’t even heard of deepfakes, let alone know how to spot them, this isn’t just misinformation. It’s a tool for political manipulation. Aleema’s real interview had nothing to do with the military or India. She spoke emotionally about her brother’s treatment in prison, his declining health, and how cutting him off from lawyers and family is a way to silence 90 percent of the population that still supports him. But the fake clip flipped that narrative. It turned Imran Khan’s sister into an alleged traitor. Then the military ran with it in an official press conference, using it to feed a broader campaign that paints dissent as treason. This wasn’t just trolling. It was a strategic hit, aimed at making Imran Khan’s base question whether even his family stands with him. It wasn’t about provoking India. It was about poisoning Pakistan from within. Here’s what you should be asking: who has something to gain from that?

🚨🇵🇰 BREAKING INTERVIEW: IMRAN KHAN'S DOCTOR SPEAKS Dear Pakistan, your former leader is still in jail, and there’s reports he was secretly taken to hospital due to a serious eye condition Today I sit down with Imran Khan’s personal doctor for over 2 decades, to discuss Imran Khan’s health, his recent eye condition (likely CRVO), what could happen if it’s not treated, and why Dr Asim Yusuf was not granted permission to see Khan yesterday. Tomorrow I will also release my first interview with Imran Khan’s third sister, Noureen Khan. I hope the former Prime Minister is soon released from jail in good health, and Pakistan can return to a sense of normalcy after years of protests and political persecution.
