Pakistani expats, largely PTI supporters, protested in front of the Pakistan Embassy in Washington, D.C., believing Army Chief Asim Munir was visiting the US. Despite denials from the White House and Trump officials about any invitation, protesters insisted on Munir's presence, accusing him of human rights abuses.
Scores of Pakistani expat supporters of incarcerated PTI chief Imran Khan, many driving and flying in from across the US, gathered in front of the Pakistan Embassy in Washington to protest the purported visit of the country's army chief, Asim Munir, to the US - except he was nowhere to be seen. The White House and Trump administration officials maintained that no foreign dignitaries, including Munir, had been invited to the Trump-army parade, but PTI supporters insisted he was in the US, with one activist stalking the embassy yelling at him to come out. "Where is Pakistan Embassy hiding Asim Munir ?... Pakistani-Americans are protesting ag. General Asim Munir's visit: the perpetrator behind constitutional violations, stolen public mandate, and grave human rights abuses in Pakistan!" a PTI flyer said. PTI activists also deployed digital vans in the US capital, displaying videos and posters of Munir, calling him the "Butcher of Islamabad." Enhancing suspicion that Munir is indeed in the US but did not attend the Trump-army parade in Washington were pro-Munir billboards that surfaced in New York City's Times Square.
