U.S. bill seeks to sanction Pakistani army chief.


On Monday, U.S. Reps. Joe Wilson and Jimmy Panetta introduced the Pakistan Democracy Act, bipartisan legislation that calls for sanctions on Pakistani Army Chief of Staff Asim Munir and other current or former officials who the bill alleges have suppressed democracy, including through the persecution of political opponents—chief among them imprisoned former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan.

The bill calls for sanctions to be placed on Munir within 180 days of its enactment. (It also stipulates that sanctions can be waived if Pakistan’s democracy is restored or if all political prisoners are released.) Regardless of whether the bill passes, it will unnerve Pakistan’s civilian and military elite. Pakistan’s army chief is considered the country’s most powerful figure, and one who successive U.S. administrations have seen as a critical interlocutor.

The bill also reflects the successful advocacy efforts of pro-Khan Pakistani Americans—efforts that have concerned leaders in Islamabad since a U.S. congressional resolution that decried assaults on democracy in Pakistan passed last year by an overwhelming margin.
