Amnesty urges Pakistan not to use emergency to curb rights
Original: Pakistan: Declaration of emergency must not be pretext to crackdown on human rights
Amnesty International is calling on Pakistan to ensure that its declaration of a state of emergency does not become a pretext for cracking down on human rights. The human rights organisation warns that emergency measures must remain within legal limits and should not be used to restrict freedoms, silence dissent or target critics, urging the authorities to respect international human rights obligations.
Why now: Pakistan has declared a state of emergency, raising fears that emergency powers could be abused to suppress rights and dissent.
