A game-changing escalation: 14 global human-rights groups led by @MediaCentrePWA have formally moved to sanction Pakistan’s Minister of the Interior Mohsin Naqvi @MohsinnaqviC42 in 15 nations for torture, killings, disappearances & attacks on former Prime Minister Imran Khan & civil society. The world sees what Pakistan’s regime tries to hide. Naqvi’s record of torture, extrajudicial killings, Muridke & Islamabad massacres, abuse of @ImranKhanPTI , transnational repression & civilian persecution can no longer be ignored @POTUS @StateDept @SenateForeign @HouseForeign @WhiteHouse @SecRubio @TLHumanRights United States must stand with global democracies & join hands in demanding accountability! This is the beginning of the end for impunity! #SanctionNaqvi #Pakistan #PAKWatch @Aleema_KhanPK @Noreen_KhanPK @Kasim_Khan_1999 @Jemima_Khan @FCDOGovUK @kajakallas @EUCommScotland @UNHumanRights @amnesty @MoeedNj @RealWaqarMaliks @jacksonhinklle

The UN Human Rights Chief’s @volker_turk warning is a massive red flag for American policymakers @realDonaldTrump @POTUS @WhiteHouse @marcorubio @SecRubio @StateDept @HouseForeign @HouseForeignGOP @SenateForeign @SenateGOP @SenateDems Pakistan’s new amendments don’t just weaken judicial independence, they formalize military supremacy, political interference, & lifetime immunity for top generals. As allies of democracy, the U.S. cannot ignore a system where courts are sidelined, dissent is crushed, & accountability is erased. These changes directly impact American Pakistanis, human rights activists, & anyone advocating rule of law. @USCongress & State Dept must act: – Demand transparency on the Federal Constitutional Court – Reassess security cooperation – Apply targeted sanctions for transnational repression & abuses Silence now will only embolden authoritarianism! @ICJ_org @CIJ_ICJ @TLHumanRights #pakistan #humanrights #PAKWatch

#Pakistan’s hastily adopted constitutional amendments seriously undermine judicial independence & raise grave concerns about military accountability & respect for the rule of law. These changes risk subjecting the judiciary to political interference & executive control. ➡️ ohchr.org/en/press-relea…

🇺🇸🇵🇰 @realDonaldTrump , American Pakistani citizens who supported & voted for you are looking to you now to stand up for democracy & for the wellbeing of the Pakistani people. We remind you of your moral & fiduciary responsibility toward the American- Pakistani community which is one of the most hardworking, high-achieving, & economically impactful groups in the U.S. Today, our greatest concern is the uncertain whereabouts of @ImranKhanPTI , reportedly held in illegal isolation for over 3 weeks with no access to family or legal counsel. Across social media & among independent observers, there are serious fears & allegations regarding Army Chief Asim Munir’s increasingly authoritarian conduct, especially in light of the massacre reported in Islamabad on November 26 of last year. Many worry that the sweeping power he now wields with broad immunity & total impunity following the 27th Amendment to the constitution could enable him to eliminate political workers. These concerns are deeply rooted in Pakistan’s long & well-documented history of military overreach. Imran Khan, the heartbeat of the Pakistani nation, may be in grave danger. American Pakistanis are deeply alarmed & concerned. We urge @POTUS ,@SecRubio , @USCongress , @HouseForeign , @HouseForeignGOP , @TLHumanRights & @StateDept to demand immediate clarity from the Pakistani government about Imran Khan’s location, health, safety & release. Pakistani-Americans expect U.S. leadership to stand firmly on the side of democracy, human rights, & the will of the Pakistani people. @Aleema_KhanPK @Noreen_KhanPK #WhereIsImranKhan #Democracy

🚨🇵🇰 “WHERE IS IMRAN KHAN?” - THE QUESTION THAT JUST EXPLODED ACROSS PAKISTAN Imran Khan’s party is sounding the alarm: the former PM hasn’t been seen by family or lawyers in 23 days, no explanations, no medical checks, nothing. For a 73-year-old behind bars on charges he says were engineered by the military, that silence is loud. PTI says he’s being held in “illegal isolation.” Prison officials insist he’s “in good health.” Some media whisper he might be moved to a high-security facility to make access even harder. Meanwhile, WHEREISIMRANKHAN is trending like a national panic button - because Pakistan’s political memory is long, and enforced disappearances are not hypothetical. Let’s be real: Khan’s downfall was never just about corruption cases. It was about crossing the military, the same institution that un-makes prime ministers as easily as it installs them. His 2023 arrest triggered the biggest anti-army protests in years - and the establishment hasn’t forgotten. If the government doesn’t produce him publicly soon, this goes from a health scare to a legitimacy crisis. PTI supporters are already mobilizing, the streets are watching, and the military hates uncertainty.Keep your eyes on Rawalpindi - that’s where the real answers usually come from.

@IndiaToday: A group of U.S. lawmakers led by @GregCasar & @RepJayapal has urged the @WhiteHouse to confront Asim Munir & Pakistan’s leadership over alleged “transnational repression,” warning that threats against pro-democracy activists have extended beyond Pakistan’s borders & into the United States since the disputed 2024 elections. The move, backed by Pakistani-American advocacy groups, @ChangePakPolicy @PAKPAC calls for potential sanctions & accountability measures. The decision has been welcomed by @Junaid4VA , a Pakistani-American @GOP leader, who said: “This letter aims to ensure that the White House & @StateDept enact targeted sanctions at Pakistani government & officials who are participating in transnational repression. I was a victim of this.” @marcorubio @POTUS @HouseForeign @VOPAUS #AccountabilityNow #USCongress #google_vignette" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">indiatoday.in/world/us-news/…

Grateful to see the introduction of the Pakistan Freedom & Accountability Act (H.R. 5271): A strong step forward in complementing H.R. 901 & holding the fascist regime in Pakistan accountable. Special thanks to @RepHuizenga, @sydneykamlager, @juliejohnsonTX, @RepMoolenaar, @JulianCastro, & @rep_jackson for co-sponsoring this important bill. Deep appreciation to the tireless efforts of @PakPAC leadership & executives, including @UzmaDo, @DrTariqUS, @drjalil247, @SabaShabnam24 & all those who worked relentlessly with congressional offices behind the scenes to make this possible. #PakistanDemocracy #StandWithDemocracy

This amendment by @RepJoeWilson is weak & must not be supported. It gives the Pentagon 300 more days to draft a “strategy” not take real action, while Pakistan has already endured 3 years of brutal suppression. No concrete steps, no binding actions but just a placeholder. Diaspora must reject symbolic measures that waste time & risk legitimizing the same generals behind @ImranKhanPTI & @PTIofficial workers’ unlawful detention. We need real accountability, not delay tactics. @WhiteHouse @realDonaldTrump @JDVance @SecRubio @POTUS @statedeptspox_a @StateDept @DeptofDefense @ryangrim @mehdirhasan @zeteo_news @MazMHussain @worqas @HouseForeign @HouseForeignGOP @HouseGOP @HouseDemocrats @MoeedNj @VOPAUS @ziadmkhan #PAKWatch #DemocracyForPakistan

Amnesty International South Asia, Regional Office
PAKISTAN: The recent arrests of Shershah Khan and Shahrez Khan, nephews of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, in cases relating to the 9 May (2023) protests, are part of political witch-hunt aimed at intimidating the family members of political opponents. Amnesty International calls on Pakistani authorities to immediately release Shershah Khan and Shahrez Khan. Their arrest is part of a larger pattern of politically motivated targeting and detention against the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) to crush political opposition and muzzle dissent in the country. Targeting family members of opposition leaders and activists by the government is becoming an increasingly common practice in Pakistan and must stop.

While the world moves forward, Pakistan is being dragged into lawlessness. A few dozen generals, politicians & bureaucrats have tightened their grip to shield General Asim Munir’s tyrant regime indefinitely. @POTUS @JDVance @VP @SecRubio @marcorubio @CENTCOM @statedeptspox_a @StateDept Every meeting with a petty tyrant is perceived as legitimizing fascism. Each meeting with US administration emboldens Munir to silence democracy & civil liberty. Recently, @ImranKhanPTI’s nephew @Shahrez_KhanPK was arrested on false May 9th charges & other nephew HassanNiaziPTI @HniaziISF remains jailed indefinitely without fair trial. They are being targeted simply for their relation to former prime minister @ImranKhanPTI @PTIofficial. Pakistani Americans supported @realDonaldTrump in the last elections, but meetings with Munir send the wrong message: that the US is backing dictatorship over democracy. All engagement with a dangerous dictator must stop until true democracy is restored in Pakistan! @SenateForeign @HouseForeignGOP @HouseDemocrats @WhiteHouse @Aleema_KhanPK @Kasim_Khan_1999 @Jemima_Khan @TLHumanRights @BradSherman @RepJoeWilson @RoKhanna @RepSubramanyam @RichardGrenell @NoreenKhanniazi @MarioNawfal @steve_hanke @GregCasar @RepPfluger @RepJackBergman @RepMcGovern @RepSummerLee #PakistaniDemocracyMatters #EndDictatorship #HumanRights #ReleasePoliticalPrisoners

For the first time in U.S. history, concerns over transnational repression targeting Pakistani Americans are being raised at the county level. The Loudoun County Republican Committee, one of the strongest GOP units in one of America’s most affluent counties, with a median household income of $178,000 has voiced serious concerns about repression by Pakistani generals. Loudoun County includes Washington D.C.’s international airport & is home to President Trump’s golf course, where he frequently visits. Thanks to the persistent grassroots efforts of the Pakistani diaspora, issues of national significance are now gaining traction at the county level among Republicans. #TransnationalRepression #GOP #loudoncounty #pakistanarmy #Democrats @RepJackBergman @SecRubio @StateDept @JDVance @TheJusticeDept @FBI @RepJoeWilson @SenatorWarner @DonBeyerVA @realDonaldTrump @POTUS @TLHumanRights @PENamerica @RobWittman @RepMGriffith @RepJenKiggans @RepBenCline @JohnMcGuire4VA @RepSuhas @RepVindman @BobbyScott @RepMcClellan

And the Pakistan military generals are engaged in transnational repression -- targeting American Pakistani's in the US, including those who are active LCRC volunteers who speak out in opposition to military rule, & arresting their family members in Pakistan. This is outrageous intimidation. We stand for the rule of law, freedom & democracy. @StateDept @TheJusticeDept @PamBondi @marcorubio @fbi

Today, August 5, marks 2 years since the illegal detention of Pakistan’s most respected & popular leader, former Prime Minister @ImranKhanPTI. Since the military’s politically motivated coup, Pakistan has plunged into unprecedented repression & instability. Self-proclaimed Field Marshal General Asim Munir, often compared to a modern day Hitler has brutally crushed dissent & dismantled democracy. @ImranKhanPTI & his party @PTIofficial have faced relentless state persecution. All state institutions & resources have been weaponized to silence the most popular political force in the country with deep grassroots support. Munir’s mission is to control every institution to shield himself from accountability for his crimes against the people. In doing so, he has drained an already struggling economy, leaving Pakistan vulnerable to terrorism, economic collapse, & mass unrest. A handful of generals have hijacked the state. This dangerous stranglehold must be broken before the crisis escalates into a regional catastrophe. @realDonaldTrump @JDVance @statedeptspox_a @StateDept @marcorubio @SecRubio @PAKPAC @RichardGrenell @jacksonhinklle @HouseRepubs @HouseDemocrats @HouseForeignGOP @HouseForeign @ziadmkhan @MoeedNj @SHABAZGIL @Aleema_KhanPK @Jemima_Khan @Kasim_Khan_1999 @ImranRiazKhan @SabeeKazmi786 @QasimKhanSuri @ryangrim @amnesty @freedomhouse @PENamerica @soldierspeaks @SHaiderRMehdi @RichardGrenell @realZalmayMK @VOPAUS @FareedZakaria @wolfblitzer @UNHumanRights @worqas @DropSiteNews @zulfi_bukhari @TLHumanRights #FreeImranKhan #PakistanUnderSiege #EndMilitaryRule #ReleasePoliticalPrisoners
