During the gathering, Allred expressed strong support for addressing critical issues facing Pakistani-American and Muslim-American communities, including rising Islamophobia in the United States particularly Texas and the ongoing political and human rights crisis in Pakistan, where concerns persist over military dominance, democratic freedoms, and what many describe as de facto martial law. Allred acknowledged the important contributions of the Pakistani American community to American civic and political life. He also recognized the growing significance of community engagement and independent voters in closely contested elections. As a former member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee @HouseForeign, Allred has previously engaged with PAKPAC on initiatives supporting democracy and human rights in Pakistan, including H.Res. 901. He expressed his willingness to continue working with the community on these important issues if elected to the next Congress. The gathering provided an opportunity for meaningful dialogue on civil rights, religious freedom, democracy, and the importance of continued civic engagement. PAKPAC remains committed to ensuring that the concerns and voices of Pakistani Americans are heard in Washington, D.C.

Thank you, Congresswoman Ansari, @RepYassAnsari for supporting Pakistani people's right to protest peacefully, demanding the release of political prisoners, including Imran Khan, and supporting democracy at this urgent moment.

Thank you Congressman Jonathan Jackson @Rep_Jackson for supporting peaceful protests and democracy in Pakistan. Thank you for standing with the Pakistani American community for a human rights centric US foreign policy. @HouseForeign

Pakistan is at a defining moment. Hundreds of thousands are already marching, with people calling for a peaceful, constitutional movement and hundreds of thousands joining from across Pakistan. The @GovtofPakistan must protect peaceful protesters—not confront, arrest, intimidate or silence them. Blocking roads, mass arrests and the use of force cannot be the answer to political disagreement. The people’s voice must be heard. Human rights, constitutional freedoms, rule of law and democracy must prevail. Pakistan’s crisis will not be solved through repression. It can only be resolved through free, fair, transparent elections in which the people’s mandate is respected. Let the people speak. Let democracy decide. @POTUS @RealDonaldTrump @VP @JDVance @SecRubio @SusieWiles47 @StateDept @RichardGrenell @HouseForeignGOP @HouseForeign @SenateForeign @SenatorRisch @SFRCdems @SenatorShaheen @State_SCA @StateDRL @RepBrianMast @RepGregoryMeeks @RepHuizenga @RepGallagherCA1 @RepMcCaul @RepMcCormick @Jim_Jordan @RepCarlos @RepPatFallon @USAmbUN @StateDept @USEmbIslamabad @UnderSecPD @TLHumanRights @Amnesty @AmnestyUSA @RepBaumgartner @FreedomCaucus @RepAndyHarrisMD @JudiciaryGOP @statedeptspox @FoxNews @CNN @ABC @CBSNews @NBCNews

The events unfolding in Pakistan today are deeply disturbing. The reported abductions of the entire family of imprisoned former Pakistan Prime Minister @ImranKhanPTI and raids on their homes are unacceptable. Peaceful protest must not be met with intimidation, abductions, or force. The people’s voice cannot be silenced. We call on the Pakistan government (@GovtofPakistan) and military leadership (@OfficialDGISPR) to release ALL family members immediately and protect peaceful protesters, release political prisoners, and uphold fundamental freedoms. As world leaders gather at #UNGA this week, we urge them to confront these reported abuses directly and demand that Pakistan’s government and military respect human rights, democratic integrity, peaceful assembly, and the rule of law. Silence cannot be the response. The people of Pakistan must be allowed to speak without fear, intimidation, or violence. @POTUS @RealDonaldTrump @VP @JDVance @SecRubio @SusieWiles47 @StateDept @RichardGrenell @HouseForeignGOP @HouseForeign @SenateForeign @SenatorRisch @SFRCdems @State_SCA @StateDRL @RepBrianMast @RepGregoryMeeks @RepHuizenga @RepMcCaul @RepMcCormick @RepCarlos @RepPatFallon @BoardofPeace @USAmbUN @StateDept @USEmbIslamabad @UnderSecPD @Amnesty @AmnestyUSA @TLHumanRights @Jim_Jordan @RepBaumgartner @FreedomCaucus @RepAndyHarrisMD @JudiciaryGOP @StateDept @USEmbIslamabad @UnderSecPD @Amnesty @AmnestyUSA @TLHumanRights @vonderleyen @UN @BorisJohnson @kajakallas @EmmanuelMacron @HRW

The PAKPAC Georgia Chapter was proud to host Dr. John Cowan for a reception. @DrJohnCowan is running for Congress in Georgia's 11th Congressional District. Dr John Cowan is a neurosurgeon and a small business owner. He received an M.D. from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and completed his residency in neurosurgery at the University of Michigan Medical School. In the earlier years of his college, Dr. Cowan spent time in Pakistan working in hospitals. At the event, Dr. Cowan talked about the importance of improving health care in the United States, immigration reform, and improving energy infrastructure. PAKPAC Georgia Chapter addressed issues of importance to the Georgia Pakistani American community. Issues included U.S. foreign policy towards Pakistan pertaining to the need for strengthening democratic integrity and human rights, H.R. 5271, Pakistan Freedom and Accountability Act, and the unjust imprisonment of the former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan. Other issues of importance discussed included immigration reform with special focus on the need to expand immigration reform to address challenges in health care such as expanding programs regarding physicians serving in underserved areas. PAKPAC Georgia Chapter looks forward to building a relationship with Dr. John Cowan.

We appreciate Congressman Bill Huizenga’s support in standing up for human rights and agree with @RepHuizenga that everyone should have basic human rights. We thank Congressman Huizenga, a true friend of @PAKPAC, and appreciate his support for standing up for human rights and democratic values and look forward to working with him to address H.R.5271, Pakistan Freedom and Accountability Act.

PAKPAC welcomes the Supreme Court of Pakistan’s decision to have Imran Khan transferred to Shifa Hospital. We hope this decision will ensure access to independent physicians and a thorough medical evaluation. As an organization representing many physicians, we commend this step toward protecting the fundamental human right to healthcare. No political prisoner—or any individual—should be denied independent medical care. We thank Pakistan’s Supreme Court and our partners in Congress whose advocacy has helped bring this decision to fruition. As Pakistani Americans, we welcome this important step while emphasizing that it must be only the beginning. Independent healthcare for all political prisoners, along with due process and a fair and impartial judicial system, is essential to building a just and balanced society.
