The US State Department, through spokesperson Matthew Miller, expressed concern regarding the arrests of leaders from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), emphasizing the importance of human rights and democratic principles in Pakistan.

Speaking at a press briefing in Washington on Tuesday, Miller highlighted the recent arrest of PTI Information Secretary Raoof Hasan, who faces allegations of running a digital media cell that propagated against Pakistan’s integrity. Islamabad Police detained Hasan on Monday, and a district and sessions court has since granted the Federal Investigation Agency a two-day physical remand.

Authorities have charged Hasan and 11 other PTI officials under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act, citing offences related to the glorification of an offence, cyber-terrorism, and hate speech. The PTI’s Central Secretariat building was also sealed for failing to meet fire safety regulations.

This crackdown follows widespread arrests and actions against PTI post-May 9 riots, sparked by the arrest of PTI founder Imran Khan on graft charges, which led to vandalism of military and state properties. PTI’s senior leaders, including Khan and Shah Mahmood Qureshi, are currently incarcerated due to various allegations.

Miller reiterated the US’s support for peacefully upholding Pakistan’s constitutional and democratic norms, including the rule of law and human rights such as freedom of expression and assembly. He urged Pakistan to align its actions with its legal frameworks and international human rights standards.

Moreover, following the Pakistani government’s hints at banning PTI and charging its leaders with treason, Miller acknowledged these developments as potentially concerning, particularly the implications of banning a political party. These statements reflect US attention to Pakistan’s political dynamics and governance issues.
