We ask that the government immediately halts drone strikes in Pakistan and other countries. These strikes are considered by many experts as war crimes and a breach of international human rights treaties. We urge greater cooperation among all nations to promote peace and coexistence on Earth, and to stop the needless killing of innocent civilians who are not our enemy.
Between 282 and 535 civilians have been credibly reported as killed in drone strikes in Pakistan, including more than 60 children. A three month investigation including eye witness reports has found evidence that at least 50 civilians were killed in follow-up strikes when they had gone to help victims. More than 20 civilians have also been attacked in deliberate strikes on funerals and mourners.
