Press Release
A Message Sent to Pakistani Embassy and Consulate in the United States

Hizb ut Tahrir / America sent a delegation to the Pakistani Embassy in Washington DC on Wednesday, the 6th of Rajab 1437 AH corresponding to 4/13/2016 CE, and another delegation to Pakistani Consulate in Chicago on Tuesday, 12th Rajab 1437 AH corresponding to 4/19/2016 CE, to deliver a letter demanding Pakistani authorities to release honorable advocates of Khilafah "Caliphate" that have either been incarcerated or abducted by the Pakistani establishment. This persecution on nonviolent political workers has been happening for over four years. The letter also included a partial list of 13 such political prisoners/abductees, and called on the just and influential Muslims within Pakistan to raise their voices against these gross injustices.

In addition to sending these messages to Pakistani Embassy and Consulate, the same open letter was distributed among Muslims residents the following Friday.

In light of these visits and open letter distribution, we call upon all Muslims to keep the pressure on the Pakistani authorities for the release of callers of Khilafah "Caliphate" (Caliphate) upon the method of the Prophethood whose biggest committed so-called “crime” according to authorities, is to spread the word of truth, and hold governments accountable for their injustices done to the people, and collaboration with the West in killing and harming Muslims, through intellectual and political discourse and without the use of force.
