@ChangePakPolicy
A newly-formed coalition of American organizations focused on changing U.S. policy towards Pakistan. For more information, email [email protected]
BREAKING: With new bipartisan letter, 99 Congressmembers join calls for Imran Khan’s release, condemn Asim Munir’s authoritarian crackdown "We urgently call on the U.S. government to advocate for the immediate release of former Prime Minister Khan and all political prisoners"
So glad US Congress members are hearing directly from the Khan boys regarding their father's illegal incarceration. Let's hope these reps use all diplomatic tools at their disposal to call for IK's release & an end to U.S. support for fascism in the country.
Sulaiman and Kasim Khan meet up with Congressman Andy Harris and Congressman Ted Lieu to speak about the fascist regime in Pakistan holding their dad in prison for 2 years.
If military dictatorship actually worked, we wouldn’t be needing it a fifth time; it would’ve worked the first time.
For those seeking change in US policy, the key question is what @RepGregoryMeeks of @HouseForeign said in response: Did Meeks pledge to support targeted sanctions on dictator Asim Munir — the man responsible for jailing political prisoners like Imran Khan? If not, then what?
Final meeting of the day with Congressman Gregory Meeks, ranking member on House Foreign Affairs Committee. Sulaiman and Kasim Khan spoke about the illegal incarceration of their father and Pakistans former prime minister Imran Khan. @PTIofficial @PTIOfficialUSA @PTIOfficialCA…
Pakistan continues to convict political opposition and activists in sham trials that violate judicial independence, transparency, and due process. Statements from US @State_SCA have not led to change. US must defend free speech and impose targeted sanctions on regime officials.
HRCP notes with concern the convictions delivered by an anti-terrorism court in Lahore against senior @PTIofficial leaders, including Dr Yasmin Rashid, Omar Sarfraz Cheema, Ejaz Chaudhry, and others who have already served over two years in prison in connection with the events of…
Great to see @Kasim_Khan_1999 and Sulaiman in the U.S.! Excited for their meetings with administration officials—looking forward to the impact they'll make!
Welcome to California, my friends. I loved hanging out with you today. Sulaiman and @Kasim_Khan_1999, you must stay strong. There are millions of people around the world who are sick of political prosecutions. You are not alone. #freeimrankhan
US can force dictator Asim Munir to release Imran Khan and allow free and fair elections: Simply threaten to freeze the stolen assets he hides in Western financial system. Failing to freeze his corrupt gain sends a signal that his anti-democratic repression can continue.
