US sanctions Rao Anwar for human rights abuse in Pakistan

[ASKardar]

The United States’ Department of Treasury sanctioned on Tuesday a former Pakistani police officer for his involvement in “serious human rights abuse” in Pakistan, it said in a statement on its website.

Rao Anwar, a former senior superintendent of police, was among 18 other individuals from six countries who were sanctioned for their roles in “atrocities and other abuses”.

The action was taken by the Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control on the International Human Rights Day.

It said Anwar was reportedly responsible for staging numerous fake police encounters during his tenure as an SSP.

He was “involved in over 190 police encounters that resulted in the deaths of over 400 people, including the murder of Naqeebullah Mehsood,” the US Department of the Treasury said in the statement.

“Anwar helped lead a network of police and criminal thugs that were allegedly responsible for extortion, land grabbing, narcotics, and murder.”

In his statement, US Secretary of the Treasury Steven T. Mnuchin said the US would not tolerate torture, kidnapping, sexual violence, murder, or brutality against innocent civilians.

“America is the world leader in combatting human rights abuse and we will hold perpetrators and enablers accountable wherever they operate,” Secretary Mnuchin vowed.

“Treasury’s action focuses on those who have killed, or ordered the killing of innocents who stood up for human rights including journalists, opposition members, and lawyers,” Deputy Secretary Justin G. Muzinich said.

The individuals sanctioned by the US also included four top commanders of the Burmese military forces for their involvement in persecution of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar’s Rakhine state.

The OFAC also designated six entities for being owned or controlled by one of these 18 individuals from Burma, Pakistan, Libya, Slovakia, Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Sudan.

Implications of these sanctions

As a result of these sanctions, all property and interests in property of the individuals named above, and of any entities that are owned, directly or indirectly, 50 percent or more by them, individually, or with other designated persons, that are in the United States or in the possession or control of US persons, are blocked and must be reported to OFAC.

OFAC’s regulations prohibit all transactions by US persons or within (or transiting) the United States that involve any property or interests in property of designated or otherwise blocked persons.

Clearly USA is showing that PTM drama would continue further with this move. More funding and more support for manzoor gashteen Expect more anti Pakistan propaganda by PTM in weeks and months to come

Meanwhile USA and alies would continue killing Pashtuns left, right and center in Afghanistan

[PakSword]

USA has no right to interfere in Pakistan's internal matters, however, I would like our security forces to take strong action against Rao Anwar.. US couldn't have done this if we had taken action against this shaitan rao anwar ourselves.

This is to be expected. Americans back PTM.

Why isn't US putting sanctions on Papa of this monster? Zardari and his Billo!!!

None of you are from Karachi it seems. US sanctioned a criminal, not Pakistan.

Rao Anwar has been responsible for 200+ extra judicial killings in Karachi. The criminal has so much power that an art work greiving the victims at Frere hall was removed within hours by men in black suits.

For fuks sake why do we fail to give justice only for the enemies of Pakistan to support illegitimate proxies that use such real issues to cover up their covert anti state activities?!

This is the fault of the stupid judiciary. Time to grab them by the collar first and then deal with external enemies like PTM

There is more to that, the US isnt doing this for human rights..

Let’s just accept the fact, all three prominent institutions of Pakistan have failed, miserably. Talk about government, army, or the court. How come this guy got away with heinous crimes ok his hand?
And as per the interface of US, we have given them this chance.

The sanctions should come from Pakistan’ Authorities. Or if USA want to be the judge everywhere then they should be fair with everyone which they aren’t. It means they have an agenda which is known by everyone.

Yes exactly. The judiciary is busy helping the corrupt escape the country. It's this filth that is bringing out society down in the eyes of god and creating unrest.

Because we have become a SoftState... a Nation that doesn't punish traitors is always at the mercy of others..

We cann't allow PakBlood to be spilt anymore... we need to Crush Traitors ... starting with MarasiMedia and political parties... then Babucracy!

Which is the biggest mistake ever.

Well then you can thank the security apparatus for giving the US a chance. Either way, it's perfectly valid malignancy because the criminal is still alive.

except in his own country-"In his statement, US Secretary of the Treasury Steven T. Mnuchin said the US would not tolerate torture, kidnapping, sexual violence, murder, or brutality against innocent civilians."

As a justification per such standards, the whole US governments since last 5 decades to be black listed.
