US Senator urges action on Pakistan’s human rights abuses in letter to Rubio

WASHINGTON: United States Senator Mark R. Warner wrote to the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressing concern over ongoing alleged human rights violations in Pakistan targeting political figures, journalists, and activists, including widespread arrests and instances of transnational repression.

In his letter, Senator Warner urged Rubio to take diplomatic steps and engage with the government of Pakistan over these abuses.

Referring to Pakistan’s 2024 general elections, which were delayed from 2023, Warner noted that polls were associated with instances of violence, as well as allegations of interference and irregularities, as documented by US, international, and Pakistani civil society organisations.
