Not One Bullet: Stop Protecting Pakistan's Generals!

On Sunday, September 27, supporters of Pakistan's jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan will march on Islamabad.

The government is waiting for them. Nearly 35,000 fresh police and paramilitary troops. Highways sealed with shipping containers. Three of Khan's sisters and hundreds of activists have already been rounded up.

The last time they marched, in November 2024, Anees Shehzad was killed. His death certificate says gunshot wound. Pakistan's government still denies its forces killed a single protester.

In 2022, a senior State Department official told Pakistan's ambassador that if Khan were removed in a no-confidence vote:

"all will be forgiven in Washington"

Khan was out within a month. He's been in a cell for more than three years. He's 73, and his lawyer told Pakistan's Supreme Court he's lost 85% of the sight in his right eye. When that court ordered him moved to a private hospital, the government REFUSED.

The State Department's answer, every single time: "an internal matter."

Meanwhile, Field Marshal Asim Munir had parliament grant him lifetime immunity from prosecution and command of Pakistan's nuclear arsenal. President Trump calls him "my favorite field marshal."

We're on the wrong side. Add your name before Sunday >>
