Petition Sanction individuals linked to detention of political prisoners in Pakistan

We want the Government to identify and impose targeted sanctions, such as asset freezes and travel bans, on those involved in the unjust detention of political prisoners in Pakistan.

More details

The situation in Pakistan is marked by a concerning deterioration of democracy and human rights, which we believe necessitates urgent attention and action by the UK Government.

We consider that the crackdown on political opposition, civil society, and dissenting voices has reached alarming levels, with grave implications for the rule of law and democratic processes. The detention of political prisoners erodes the principles of democracy and civilian oversight.
