Amnesty International has condemned the Pakistani government’s arbitrary arrests of former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s relatives and party activists, labeling the actions a clear breach of international human rights law. The report cites multiple cases of detention without charges, denial of legal counsel, and reports of ill‑treatment in custody.

According to the organization, these arrests are part of a broader strategy to silence political dissent and undermine democratic accountability. The findings call for an immediate, independent investigation and the release of all detainees.

Amnesty urges the Pakistani authorities to uphold the rule of law, respect due process, and ensure that all political opponents can exercise their rights without fear of state‑backed intimidation.
