In the wake of ongoing political turmoil in Pakistan, the United States has called for the “upholding of democratic principles, freedom of expression, and the rule of law” in the country, according to Matthew Miller, the spokesperson for the US State Department.
Addressing the escalating situation, Miller emphasized the importance of respecting and applying democratic principles, ensuring freedom of expression, and upholding the rule of law both globally and specifically within Pakistan. He stressed that these fundamental principles should be extended to all individuals.

Responding to queries about the crackdown on political activists and journalists following the May 9 protests, Miller expressed concern and called for the equal application of these principles. He acknowledged the mass arrests and registration of cases, including those under terrorism laws, against members of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, following the violent turn of events during the protests and the subsequent arrest of party leader and former prime minister, Imran Khan.
While closely monitoring the situation in Pakistan, the State Department spokesperson clarified that the US does not endorse any specific political candidate and remains neutral in that regard.
Additionally, Miller conveyed condolences and expressed regret over the tragic terrorist attack on the gas field in Hangu, extending sympathies to the grieving families affected by the incident.
