U.S. lawmakers propose withholding $33M in aid to Pakistan until Dr. Shakil Afridi is freed and cleared.
A U.S. funding bill for 2026 proposes withholding $33 million in aid to Pakistan until the State Department certifies that Dr. Shakil Afridi, who helped locate Osama bin Laden in 2011, has been released and cleared of all charges.
The provision, part of a broader appropriations package, also bans U.S. aid to the Taliban in Afghanistan and imposes visa restrictions on Chinese officials linked to human rights abuses in Tibet.
Introduced by Representative Tom Cole, the bill reflects Congress’s use of foreign aid conditions to advance human rights and counterterrorism goals in South and Central Asia.
