In a significant diplomatic move, U.S. Congressman Joe Wilson has sent a poignant letter to Pakistani leaders urging the upholding of democratic values and the release of former Prime Minister Imran Khan.

The letter, addressed to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, President Asif Ali Zardari, and Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces Syed Asim Munir Ahmed Shah, stresses the importance of a robust U.S.-Pakistan relationship and calls for the respect of human rights and due process in Pakistan.

Congressman Wilson expressed concern over what he described as Imran Khan’s “unjust detention,” emphasizing that the path to democracy does not involve detaining political opponents on politicized charges.

Grateful to send this letter today to the political and military leaders of Pakistan to Free Imran Khan. I will also be engaging the Trump administration on this issue.

While he acknowledged having several disagreements with Khan, particularly regarding Khan’s supportive stances toward China and Russian President Vladimir Putin, Wilson highlighted that true democracy requires freedom of the press, assembly, and speech.

The letter comes at a time when U.S.-Pakistan relations are particularly critical,.Wilson notes that the bilateral relationship is in the national interest of both countries and has been one of the strongest over the past 75 years. The Congressman’s appeal for Khan’s release is regarded as a step towards bolstering these ties by reinforcing democratic institutions and the rule of law in Pakistan.

The Pakistani government has yet to reply to Congressman Wilson’s letter. However, the situation will likely attract international scrutiny regarding Khan’s case and its impact on democratic principles in Pakistan.
