PAKISTAN: RESPECT THE PEOPLE'S VOTE
|
The people of Pakistan have overcome violence & rigging to cast a clear vote for civilian democracy. 75% want President Musharraf to go. But things are tense: Musharraf hints he could dismiss the new parliament and Western powers are still propping him up. The Pakistani people have cast an undeniable vote for change. If they are betrayed, chaos could follow. Let's back them with big advertisements (see right) in Pakistan's The News, a respected broadsheet read by politicians, ambassadors and generals alike. The ad's centrepiece is our petition calling for democracy to be supported not undermined - please sign the petition below urgently to help Pakistan's democrats, or give a donation to help fund the ad:
We call on our governments, especially the US and the UK, to end any intrigue
and offer unqualified support for this democratic transition in Pakistan. We call on the Pakistani military establishment to accept civilian rule. And we call on the leaders elected to honour their pledges, and join in reforms to end martial law and build
a better state.
