Amnesty warns Pakistan against rights abuses under emergency
Original: Pakistan: Declaration of emergency must not be pretext to crackdown on human rights
Amnesty International has called on Pakistani authorities to ensure that the declaration of a state of emergency does not become a pretext for cracking down on human rights. The rights group urged the government to respect freedoms and the rule of law as emergency measures take effect. The warning comes as observers watch closely how emergency powers are being used on the ground.
Why now: Pakistan has declared a state of emergency and rights groups fear it will be used to justify repression.
