Former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan’s sister Noreen Niazi has compared the state of Pakistan to Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Germany, accusing the authorities of running a system built on censorship and intimidation.

Speaking to news agency ANI, Niazi said the situation has reached a point where the government “locks people away" and squeezes the media into silence. “We used to hear and read about Hitler. Just like Hitler used to lock people in basements, the same thing is happening in Pakistan," she said.

Niazi alleged that journalists are being detained, pressured into silence and then released under conditions that bar them from speaking publicly. “Censorship in Pakistan is so extreme that they apprehend media people and then oppress them so much that when they are let out, they are not even allowed to speak," she said.

She also claimed that several prominent Pakistani journalists have fled abroad to avoid arrests or harassment. “Major popular names in Pakistan’s media are currently outside the country. They have fled and cannot return. Their accounts are blocked, their properties confiscated and their passports have been blocked," she added.

Niazi had been demonstrating along with Imran Khan’s other sisters, Aleema Khan and Dr Uzma Khan, after being denied a meeting with him for more than a month. She said Punjab Police assaulted them during the protest and accused Army Chief General Asim Munir of acting like a dictator. She also described Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s government as one of the most unpopular in Pakistan’s history.

“We have such support from outside that Trump called our dictator Asim Munir a very good friend of his… Shehbaz Sharif had lost his seat. Asim Munir helped him win, so he is the bigger force… Dictators have come before. Their fates were not good either," she said.
