In the letter, the Congress members urged the United States to use its relatively advantageous position in the Islamabad-Washington diplomatic relationship to push for the release of former Prime Minister Imran Khan. They emphasized leveraging this diplomatic influence to advocate for his freedom.
Sixty U.S. Congress members have sent a letter to President Joe Biden, urging him to intervene for the release of Pakistan’s former Prime Minister, Imran Khan. In the letter, they emphasized the need for transparency in Imran Khan’s arrest and judicial process, as well as respect for human rights. The Congress members requested that President Biden take a stronger stance on Pakistan’s human rights situation.
Such a letter is generally seen as a reflection of the United States’ commitment to human rights and justice. Supporters of Imran Khan have long claimed that the actions taken against him are politically motivated. This letter could put international pressure on Pakistan’s political situation, potentially influencing the judicial process related to Imran Khan’s case.
