The Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission of the US Congress is set to hold a hearing on Pakistan’s suppression of opposition parties and curtailment of free speech. The hearing will address issues like political repression, media control, and violations of freedom of expression, which experts say intensified following the ousting of Imran Khan in 2022. Representatives from Amnesty International, human rights lawyers, and Khan’s advisers are scheduled to testify. The proceedings will be broadcast live.
