The Pakistani American Public Affairs Committee (PAKPAC) is deeply concerned by reports of violence, loss of civilian life, and escalating unrest in Pakistan-administered Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan.

Recent events, including allegations of security forces using excessive force against demonstrators and the growing tensions surrounding ongoing protests, underscore the urgent need for restraint, accountability, and respect for fundamental human rights.

Every government has a fundamental responsibility to protect its citizens, safeguard peaceful assembly, and ensure that grievances are addressed through dialogue rather than force.

The use of lethal force against civilians must be subject to transparent investigation, and those responsible for any violations of human rights must be held accountable.

The people of Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan deserve to have their voices heard and their concerns addressed through democratic means. Lasting stability can only be achieved through respect for civil liberties, political inclusion, and meaningful engagement with local communities.

PAKPAC calls upon the @GovtofPakistan to take immediate steps to de-escalate tensions, protect civilian lives, uphold the rule of law, and engage constructively with community leaders and stakeholders. The rights, dignity, and safety of all citizens must remain paramount during this challenging time.

We stand in solidarity with all those seeking peaceful, democratic solutions and reaffirm that the protection of human rights and civil liberties is essential for a just and prosperous future for all.

We strongly condemn the horrifying act of violence at the Islamic Center of San Diego today. Our thoughts are with everyone impacted by this attack. 

No one should ever fear for their safety while attending prayers or studying at an elementary school. 

We are working to learn more about this incident and we encourage everyone to keep the Islamic Center of San Diego community in your prayers.

While Pakistan is playing an important role in the historic Peace Talks, we can not forget the undermining of human rights and democracy in Pakistan. #FreePoliticalPrisoners

H.R. 5271, Pakistan Freedom and Accountability Act, a bipartisan bill, is in US Foreign Policy interests to bring stability in the region and strengthen credibility while advancing democracy and human rights. A democratically stable Pakistan is in American interests.

We thank @RepSalinas (D-OR) for joining as co-sponsor of HR5271. We appreciate Congresswoman Andrea Salinas for her commitment to American values in US Foreign Policy in support of human rights and democracy in Pakistan.

Special thanks to Arslan Shehzad @Arslanshehzd, President of the PAKPAC Oregon Chapter and the entire Oregon team for their efforts to engage Congresswoman Salinas office on this important issue.
