Amnesty International has documented the arbitrary arrest of several members of former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s family and supporters in Pakistan. The detentions, carried out without formal charges or due process, are described as a blatant breach of international human‑rights standards.

The report highlights that the arrests were part of a broader campaign to silence political dissent, undermining the principles of freedom of expression and assembly. Victims were reportedly held in solitary confinement and denied access to legal representation.

Amnesty calls for immediate release of all detainees, a transparent investigation, and accountability for the officials responsible. The organization urges the Pakistani government to uphold its commitments under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and to restore democratic norms.
