I am receiving life threats through different means – Moeed Pirzada

I am forced to inform all of you, and friends in media, that I am receiving life threats through different means; I am being made to realize that my whereabouts are known to powerful people back in Pakistan & I should not think that I am safe in Washington. This was continuing since March, but now it has assumed a more serious shape & intensity. Few days before Imran Khan’s arrest, a meeting took place somewhere in between Pindi & Islamabad and formations were asked to track me, my exact location. I had previously informed Washington police but decided not to give any names.

I am now giving names, with titles in writing, to US Police and FBI and will reach out to HR Organizations & International media. Such terror actions are always sanctioned from the very top. I still believe that sanity will prevail, and other responsible people around them will counsel them.

And that is why I am not giving any more facts & names here. But unfortunately Pakistan is being run by an irresponsible criminal mafia and they are desperate to silence all dissent & freedom of expression from any one of Pakistani origin anywhere in the world. While many world wide are speaking against their inhuman and illegal actions, I am being targeted because of my prominence as a media person. If needed, I will update you again.

I am forced to inform all of you, and friends in media, that I am receiving life threats through different means; I am being made to realize that my whereabouts are known to powerful people back in Pakistan & I should not think that I am safe in Washington. This was continuing…
