Press Release: The PWA is filing for Magnitsky-style human rights sanctions in 15 countries against Mr. Syed Mohsin Raza Naqvi for his violent violations of human rights and civil liberties in Pakistan. Further details are provided in the document below.
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’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.

🇺🇸🇵🇰 @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.

🚨🇵🇰 “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.”

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.

I am grateful to submit an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act to require the U.S. military to bring up the wrongful imprisonment case of Imran Khan and all political prisoners in ALL of their mil-to-mil interactions with Pakistan. Free Imran Khan! 🇺🇸🇵🇰
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.
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.
