The Moment We Are In
Why the Pakistan Rights Movement exists
Pakistan is passing through one of the harshest periods in its political history. Power has become increasingly centralized, criticism is curtailed, and democratic institutions operate under visible strain. Recent laws have drawn concern from international observers, including the United Nations, as civic space continues to contract and fundamental rights grow uncertain.
The rule of law is weakening. Political detentions, drawn-out trials, and unequal access to justice have created a climate of intimidation and unpredictability. At the same time, corruption and cartelization flourish, while millions struggle with unemployment, inflation, and poverty. Governance appears adrift, institutions operate without coherence, and the space for the business community is shrinking by the minute.
Amid this environment, on 10 January 2026, Senator Mushtaq Ahmad Khan, together with concerned citizens, established the Pakistan Rights Movement (PRM), so that a struggle for social justice, fundamental rights, and global peace can be organized, principled, and peaceful.
