Pakistan’s brutal crackdown on protesters is a grave violation of human rights: mass arrests, communication blackouts & alarming reports of unlawful force, including fatalities.
In October, I signed @KimJohnsonMP's letter urging action on @ImranKhanPTI’s detention & repression:
Over the past year, Pakistan has teetered on the edge of digital oppression, and the proposed ban on ‘unregistered’ VPNs could be the tipping point toward becoming a fully mass-surveilled state.

Pakistan: Urgent and transparent investigation needed into deadly crackdown on opposition protesters
“Yet again, protestors in Pakistan have faced a brutal and lethal crackdown shrouded in a callous opacity by the authorities. The escalation of violence, shutdown of mobile internet services, mass detentions, and alarming rhetoric against PTI protesters by the authorities speaks of a pattern of intolerance for the right to freedom of peaceful assembly throughout the country. Similar clampdowns against Baloch and Pashtun protesters were witnessed earlier this year."

I am concerned by the recent military crackdown of peaceful protests in Pakistan. The rights to peaceful assembly and freedom of expression are fundamental human rights and should be respected.

One of my main die hard workers Malik Idrees has been shot by the law enforcement agencies. This tyrannical rule must end. Shooting at their own people is a sign a failed regime. Learn from history and nations around you. Pls pray for Idrees’s successful operation and all others that have felt the brunt of this illegitimate tyrannical regime.
