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 flagrant breach of international human rights norms. The report cites the lack of due process, denial of legal counsel, and the use of pre‑trial detention as evidence of systemic oppression.

The organization urges Islamabad to release all detainees, conduct transparent investigations, and uphold the rule of law. It also calls for independent oversight to prevent future abuses and protect political dissenters from state‑backed intimidation.

Amnesty’s findings highlight the urgent need for accountability, truth, and justice to restore democratic safeguards and safeguard civil liberties in Pakistan.
