Inferno in Northwest Pakistan

The civilian population of Northwest Pakistan is in desperate straits. It faces horrific abuses from the Taliban-- an organization which has produced a virtual reign of terror in the region-- and from two other fronts-- the Pakistani security forces and the U.S. military. These are both in theory opposed to the Taliban but civilians regard them with justified suspicion. The Pakistani military has in the past funded and supported the Taliban and the U.S. government has tacitly supported it in the process.

Amnesty International is calling on the world to speak out on behalf of the people of Northwest Pakistan. They live in a hellish, lawless world and suffer drone attacks from the U.S. military, arbitrary violence from Pakistan security forces, and various abuses from the Taliban and local warlords.

Let these people know they are not alone. Send the world a message. Take action now!
