Two American activists Medea Benjamin and Tighe Barry, members of CODE PINK, have been ordered to leave Pakistan after they were abducted and terrorized by Pakistani law enforcement agencies. The activists were protesting against the emergency and holding a vigil outside the house of Aitzan Ahsan. The authorities revoked the visas of the pair and ordered their deportation. The pair plans to resume their protest outside the Pakistani Embassy in Washington. Get the complete story here.
The Petition Moved by Code Pink
"We call upon the United States, the United Kingdom, and all other governments to suspend financial assistance to the Government of Pakistan until it lifts the emergency laws, frees civil society activists in jail and under house arrest, restores judicial independence, ends restrictions on the media, and restores the 1973 constitution—followed by elections under the auspices of an independent election commission."
