Pakistan's repression of its overseas critics demonstrates how mass, unvetted Islamic migration affects free speech in the West.
Pakistan is one of the world’s most repressive regimes, as it systematically targets dissidents—critics as well as members of ethnic and religious minorities. Such targeting occurs in various ways, including through abductions, arrests, torture, and murders. As a result, many critics flee the country and seek asylum elsewhere, hoping for a freer and safer life. Yet, even in exile, they are targeted and persecuted by Pakistan’s Intelligence Services (ISI).
Host countries (the UK, Netherlands, France, Sweden, Germany, Canada, and the U.S., among others) have issued warnings, offered protection, and investigated attempted attacks on exiled activists. Activists and diaspora groups consistently allege that the ISI or other state-aligned agencies are behind these actions, citing tactics like threats, harassing relatives, intimidation through local embassies, and the use of paid operatives abroad.
Adil Raja, a Pakistani dissident journalist who now lives in exile in London, is facing a high-stakes defamation trial that began on July 22nd. This is a case he describes as a “strategic lawsuit against public participation” (SLAPP) designed to undermine his journalism and intimidate critics of the Pakistani state. Raja, who is also a former army officer, is accused by a Pakistani brigadier of “defamation” over his statements on social media. The statements in question include allegations of corruption, electoral interference, judicial manipulation, and human rights abuses by the Pakistani military. Raja has criticized the military establishment, particularly the ISI, for weaponizing the UK’s libel laws to silence dissent abroad. On August 21st, Raja’s car was attacked in north London, but reportedly nothing was stolen.
Raja is not the only example. Multiple exiled Pakistani dissidents—including Pashtun, Baloch, and other ethnic activists—have reported digital surveillance, threats, pressuring of relatives back home, passport revocation,

These are the people that refugee laws were supposed to protect. But the fake illegal invader “refugees” help track them down and the left does not care.
Pakistan should have been nuked off the face of the earth 20 minutes after we killed Bin Laden.
They can seek asylum in India.
China does the same.
You notice how ALL these refugees flee to western countries (and often times thousands of miles away).
For example: How many Palestinians seek asylum in Saudi Arabia, or how many Haitians seek asylum in Mexico? It NEVER happens. They always flee to a predominant White country.
Uhh, so F!#$in what? If someone does something bad and takes a runner, why would they expect their home country to not pursue?
So, is this why the UK has so many Paki grooming gangs? They got kicked out?
Yes, it is so terrible that the refugee laws, meant to protect people facing real persecution, have been abused by millions of fake refugees.
Now, it seems, people are fed up, so pretty soon they will be NO refugees, ever.
The the real refuges are being lumped with the fake ones!
Kind of sad, but the abusers and the politicians who let that happen have to be hold responsible.
Or Iran for that matter.
Pakistan should have a giant wall put around it. No one allowed out.
IF ALL THE “REFUGEES” ARE SO TALENTED-—INDUSTRIOUS-—WONDERFUL EMPLOYEES-—ETC-—
WHY CAN’T THEY CLEAN UP THEIR OWN COUNTRIES????
The problem is India is the nearest thing we have to Nazi Germany today, with Indian Hindu thugs running rampant against anyone who is not like themselves and the government constantly covering or cooperating with them. A Pakistani dissident might get asylum, but would face constant threats and harassment from the ignorant thuggees.
Convert to Christianity, denounce the religion of death, and work! Problem solved
