The Intercept is the only publication pushing that story. Al Jazeera only references "purported" information from that very TI article so, by and large, it's unsubstantiated. Also, when that was happening Kahn was already serving a three year corruption sentence. I don't see how any of this actually substantiates your original claim.
so how much do you glow at night?
The cipher was just the confirmation of what Imran Khan and his party had already alleged leading up to his removal and subsequent arrest. It was already well established that the USA was invovled via the army, which is why he was charged with several phony cases like illegal marriage and state gift sales.
If you want I can share the timeline of events, but it'll take me some time because said army nuked Pakistani media reporting so I would have to rely on 3rd party archives and crossposts of independent journalists who also got content deleted and arrested.
And I do mean nuked, they straight up banned the use of his name in any new article or broadcast, along with banning twitter and flicking the internet connection every other week to reduce info from social media.
The Wikipedia article has some decent sources, but Geo and Dawn are already considered political propaganda.
Needs an account.
Yeah mb, didn't use to ask for one.
Here's the archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20240121231505/https://theintercept.com/2023/08/09/imran-khan-pakistan-cypher-ukraine-russia/
Important because it was the original source of the transcript publication.
Other two are free access and just general overview info.
Thank you so much for the link, I really appreciate it. I guess what counts as a coup had changed over the years. Biden is obviously plotting a coup in Israel, I guess, since he's suggested that bibi would be better gone
Tell me again when Bibi is arrested and thrown in jail and banned from the Israeli media.
Saying that they would rather not work with Khan is not quite a coup. Words have meaning
