NO MORE BLOODSHED IN PAKISTAN – Protect Peaceful Protesters and Uphold Human Rights
The Issue
NO MORE BLOODSHED IN PAKISTAN
We urgently call upon the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, the UK Government, the Foreign Secretary, the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, Members of Parliament and members of the House of Lords to raise their voices for the protection of peaceful protesters and fundamental human rights in Pakistan.
At the same time, we directly appeal to the Government of Pakistan, the Prime Minister of Pakistan, the federal and provincial governments, the Ministry of Interior, law-enforcement authorities, security agencies and all relevant state institutions to ensure the safety of peaceful citizens and prevent any unnecessary loss of life.
We also call upon the United Nations, Commonwealth Secretariat, European Union, international human-rights organisations, governments, parliamentarians, civil society and international media to closely monitor developments and use their influence to support restraint, peaceful assembly and the protection of human life.
The international community must speak before more lives are lost.
OUR APPEAL TO THE GOVERNMENT AND AUTHORITIES OF PAKISTAN
We respectfully urge the Government of Pakistan and all relevant authorities to:
Protect peaceful protesters and safeguard their right to peaceful assembly.
Ensure that firearms are not unlawfully used against unarmed peaceful protesters.
Require law-enforcement agencies to exercise maximum restraint and ensure that any use of force is lawful, necessary and proportionate.
Respect the rights to life, human dignity, freedom of expression, peaceful assembly and political participation.
Protect journalists, lawyers, medical workers, human-rights defenders and independent observers carrying out their legitimate roles.
Ensure immediate and unhindered medical treatment for anyone who is injured.
Prevent arbitrary or indiscriminate detention of people merely for peacefully exercising their democratic rights.
Ensure that any credible allegation of unlawful killing, excessive force, torture, mistreatment or other serious human-rights abuse is independently and transparently investigated.
Hold anyone responsible for unlawful conduct accountable in accordance with the law.
Choose dialogue and peaceful democratic solutions over confrontation.
Whatever the political disagreement, the protection of human life must come first.
OUR APPEAL TO THE UK PRIME MINISTER AND UK GOVERNMENT

A life that has been lost cannot be restored.
