Amnesty International has condemned the Pakistani government’s arrest of Imran Khan’s relatives and opposition activists, describing the moves as arbitrary and a clear breach of human rights. The detentions, carried out without warrants or charges, target individuals who have openly criticized the state’s political direction.

According to Amnesty, the arrests violate Pakistan’s constitutional guarantees of freedom of expression and due process. The organization demands that the detainees be released immediately, that all evidence be disclosed, and that a fair, independent judicial review be conducted.

These actions underscore a broader pattern of political repression in the country, threatening democratic norms and the rule of law. International observers urge the Pakistani government to uphold its obligations to human rights, transparency, and accountability.
