Pakistan Targets Critics Abroad

Pakistan is being accused of targeting its critics who live in other countries.

These critics include journalists, activists, and ordinary people who speak out against the Pakistani government or military.

They say they face threats, harassment, and even legal trouble for speaking freely.

Human rights groups and more than forty members of the U.S. Congress are worried about this and want action to be taken.

They say Pakistan is trying to silence people even when they are living in democratic countries.

Some people believe that Pakistan's government is working with other countries to do this.

The U.S. Congress is thinking about using special laws to punish Pakistani officials involved in these actions.

The main concern is that if countries can silence critics abroad, no democracy is safe.
