The military government in Pakistan has imposed a state of emergency rule that allows them to detain opponents without charge and to prevent them from access to lawyers, to silence local media and to curtail constitutional safeguards on life and liberty. The UK needs to pressurise the Pakistani government into rescinding this decision and to promote democratic values and freedom of speech.
