Petition to the Minister of Foreign Affairs
- The news of the persecution of journalists and opposition to the Government of Pakistan and their military leadership is very disturbing;
- To some this may come as a surprise, but to others who are educated on killing of prominent Pakistani Journalist Arshad Sharif on 10/23/2022, this tragedy was unfortunately to be expected;
- He was forced to leave on self-exile after threats from unknown resources when he criticized the corruption and conspiracies with proofs in his TV programs;
- In the last 6 months, the opposition members were arrested and faced custodial tortures. Recently, there has been arrest of Senator who claimed to be tortured by agencies; and
- There has been assassination attempt on the former PM of Pakistan.
