Pakistan summons UK deputy high commissioner over threatening video against army chief Asim Munir
Pakistan summoned UK diplomat Matt Cannell after rally video showed woman threatening army chief's life
Pakistan summoned Britain's deputy high commissioner Matt Cannell on December 26, 2025, after a video circulated online showing a woman at a protest rally in Bradford, UK, threatening army chief General Asim Munir with a car bombing. The rally supported jailed former PM Imran Khan, whose party PTI UK initially shared the video before deleting it, citing precautionary measures. Pakistan's deputy interior minister Talal Chaudhry condemned the remarks as crossing legal boundaries beyond free speech. The UK High Commission stated that any alleged violations would be reviewed by police. This incident follows Khan's recent 17-year prison sentence in the Toshakhana-II corruption case and escalating tensions with the military, where army spokesperson Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry recently called Khan
