Waiting for Trump’s call

Many influential Pakistani Americans are now actively lobbying for Imran Khan’s release.

The much-anticipated call from Donald Trump has yet to come. In fact, it may never come. However, the PTI (Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf) has not given up hope of getting support from American lawmakers to put pressure on Pakistan to release Imran Khan. In recent weeks, some Pakistani-American groups have stepped up their engagement with members of Congress and senators, urging them to take a tougher stance on democracy and human rights in Pakistan.
