The United States Embassy in Islamabad released a statement on Tuesday after reports of violence in Pakistani surfaced following PTI chief Imran Khan’s arrest. The statement read, “The U.S. Embassy is monitoring earlier reports of clashes between demonstrators and police in Islamabad and also sporadic demonstrations underway or being planned elsewhere throughout Pakistan.”

The embassy advised Americans to exercise caution in light of the clashes and cancelled all consular appointments scheduled for May 10, 2023, citing potential traffic disruptions and restrictions. The statement also urged Americans in Pakistan to exercise heightened vigilance and avoid locations with large crowds, review personal security plans, carry identification, follow requests from law enforcement, and monitor local media for updates.

The clashes in Islamabad, which began today, were sparked by the arrest of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, who had been taken into custody by Rangers on charges of corruption. Supporters of Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party took to the streets to protest his arrest, resulting in violent clashes.

The US Embassy’s statement comes at a time of heightened tensions in Pakistan. The country has been plagued by political instability and violence in recent years, with frequent clashes between political parties, ethnic groups, and security forces. The embassy’s warning to Americans in Pakistan underscores the growing concern over the security situation in the country and the potential risks to foreign nationals. The embassy’s advice to Americans to avoid large crowds and monitor local media is in line with standard security protocols for Americans traveling abroad. The cancellation of consular appointments also reflects the embassy’s commitment to ensuring the safety of American citizens in Pakistan.

The US Embassy’s statement is likely to be welcomed by Americans in Pakistan who may be concerned about their safety in light of the ongoing clashes. The embassy’s prompt response to the situation highlights the importance of maintaining effective communication between foreign embassies and their citizens abroad.

The embassy’s statement serves as a reminder of the potential risks associated with travel to high-risk countries and underscores the need for travelers to take necessary precautions to ensure their safety.
