If you sincerely believe in calling for the restoration of democracy in Pakistan the please sign up for the petition at avvaz.org

Pakistan is on the brink. Unpopular president General Musharraf has imposed martial law, sacked the Supreme Court and shut down the media and basic freedoms. Now he is abusing the threat of terrorism to throw thousands of democrats in prison.

Elections planned for January 2008 should not be postponed, but must be free and fair — with opposition leaders freed, the constitution restored and the election independently overseen. The General depends on foreign military aid and international recognition. As world leaders decide whether to let Pakistan slide, our global outcry could make all the difference - add your name and spread the word today!

We, the undersigned, call on all nations to condemn the Musharraf crackdown, and to suspend military aid to Pakistan until the constitution is restored and free, fair elections are ensured.
