On the night of April 9, 2022, and early morning of April 10, a political -- nay, an existential -- upheaval took root in Pakistan that continues to this day. The "imported government" of many parties, brought together by the then-Chief of Army Staff, General Qamar Javed Bajwa, overthrew the elected government of then-Prime Minister Imran Khan. Since that fateful night, this imported government, believed to be backed by certain western powers, has wrought destruction on the very fabric of Pakistan.

This living page is an attempt to document the heroes that have emerged since and the victims of a fascist state led by two successive Army Chiefs and their puppet regime.

Imran Khan

Imran Khan was at the receiving end of a first in Pakistan's history: removed as Prime Minister by the National Assembly through the vote of no confidence.

Since then he has rallied the nation through massive rallies all across the country, numerous video messages, and frequent interviews to journalists in Pakistan and abroad. In 37 by-elections held since that fateful night, his party has won 30 elections by significant margins.

He was targeted by an assasination attempt in November 2022. Thankfully, he survived it because of the bravery of one young man.
