You are celebrating a crime committed in response to a crime.

This is not justice, it is vengeance.

And an admission of guilt.

[Absa Komal @AbsaKomal]

ماورائے عدالت قتل اور اس پر جشن منانا قانونی و اخلاقی دیوالیہ پن ہے۔ عدالتوں کی سست روی پولیس کو قتل کا لائسنس نہیں دیتی۔ آج ملزم کے نام پر قتل کی حمایت کرنے والے کل کسی بے گناہ کو مجرم قرار دے کر مارے جانے پر کس سے انصاف مانگیں گے؟

جب پولیس ہی منصف اور جلاد بن جائے تو قانون نہیں، جنگل کا راج ہوتا ہے۔

🚨🚨
اسلام آباد میں طالبہ خودکُشی کیس کا مُلزم مُبینہ پولیس مُقابلہ میں مارا گیا اور مُلتان میں کمسِن مُلازم کو گاڑی کے نیچے کُچل دینے کا مُلزم بھی مُبینہ پولیس مُقابلہ میں مارا گیا، پولیس مُقابلوں میں مُلزمان کی ہلاکت کے رُجحان کو آپ کیسے دیکھتے ہیں؟ رائے کمنٹس میں دیں

Termine the police investigation in Mir Reza case an 'epic failure' commission notes: 'ranging from negligent to criminally negligent, inexplicable, casual and unprofessional investigation. An acrtive cover up in initial stage of investigation cannot be conclusively ruled out.

[Absa Komal @AbsaKomal]

اسلام آباد میں باہر بیٹھنے کی جگہیں بند ہونے سے شہر انتہائی اداس اور بے رونق لگنے لگا ہے۔ آج دیکھ کر افسوس ہوا کہ انتظامیہ نے شہر کی رہی سہی رونق بھی چھین لی ہے۔ اس ملک میں پہلے ہی تفریح کے مواقع نہ ہونے کے برابر ہیں، اب لوگوں کا کھلی فضا میں بیٹھ کر چائے پینا، دوستوں سے ملنا اور خوبصورت موسم سے لطف اندوز ہونا بھی گوارا نہیں۔

اگر تجاوزات مسئلہ ہیں تو آؤٹ ڈور سیٹنگ کے لیے لائسنس اور اجازت ناموں کا نظام پہلے سے موجود ہے، اسے بہتر بنائیں، پیدل چلنے والوں کے راستے کھلے رکھیں۔ جن کاروباروں نے باقاعدہ اجازت نامے لیے اور فیسیں ادا کیں، ان کی جگہیں بھی کیوں ختم کی جا رہی ہیں؟ ہر مسئلے کا حل سب کچھ بند کر دینا تو نہیں ہوتا۔ لوگوں کو تھوڑا جینے بھی دیں۔

ایف 6 سپر مارکیٹ میں بیٹھنے کی مناسب جگہ بنی ہوئی ہے وہاں بیٹھے چاروں طرف موجود ریسٹورنٹس سے کوئی بھی چیز منگوا سکتے ہیں شام کو عمومی طور پر لوگ یہاں بیٹھتے ہیں
عوام کا اس طرح بیٹھنا بھی انتظامیہ کو ہضم نہیں ہوا ساری کرسیاں اٹھوا دیں گئیں حیران کن ہے

Justice Project Pakistan, in collaboration with @nchrofficial and with the support of the @EUPakistan, launched the Pakistan Prison Data Report 2026 and three prison reform action tools in Islamabad.

The report shows that Pakistan’s prisons now hold 110,513 people in facilities designed for approximately 68,832, with the system operating at 160.6% of authorised capacity. It also shows that 82,988 people, or 75.09% of the national prison population, are under trial, making excessive under-trial detention the largest single driver of pressure on prisons.

Launched alongside the report, the Gap Analysis of Provincial Prison Rules, Policy Brief on Reducing Prison Overcrowding, and Detention Monitoring Toolkit translate this evidence into practical reform.

The event brought together government representatives, prison authorities, human rights institutions, development partners, legal experts, civil society and the media for high-level discussions on overcrowding, overincarceration of under-trial prisoners, and women and children in detention, moderated by senior journalist and news anchor @AbsaKomal.

From evidence to implementation, the task now is to reduce unnecessary imprisonment, strengthen oversight and protect the rights and dignity of persons deprived of liberty.

Over many years, I have admired the Pakistani people: generous, resilient, compassionate & steadfast in the face of immense challenges.

I am deeply honoured by Pakistan’s recognition today of the work of @UN.

I am grateful & accept this award on behalf of the women & men of the United Nations – serving around the world & here in Pakistan.

An all-male, executive-appointed FCC is dismantling legal protections for women’s rights, most recently by restricting the scope of workplace harassment law.

The destructive consequences of the 26th and 27th Amendments continue. Once judicial independence is destroyed, no fundamental right is insulated from the consequences.

Interesting way for ISPR to counter this fake news by bringing on camera the man @ANI claimed was dead. Sections of Indian media need to stop making a mockery of themselves. It hurts journalism everywhere.

[ANI @ANI]

Mohammad Asif alias Hashim Moosa was born on 07 March 1980. He joined the Pakistan Army in 2000 under service number PA-3106947 and retired with the rank of Havildar.

@Advjalila My heart is so full. I can’t think of anyone more deserving of this recognition.
so, so happy for you. ❤️

[Minority Rights March @aqliyatihuqooq]

Junaid Hafeez is innocent!

Does anyone care?

The trial court which convicted Junaid under religious pressure after a prolonged trial spanning 6 years, didn't care.

The Lahore High Court which has lingered Junaid's Appeal for 7 years doesn't seem to care.

But we, the conscientious citizens do care! We implore the Lahore High Court to remember it's constitutional duty of ensuring "expeditious justice" tomorrow on 22nd September 2026 when it hears Junaid's Appeal.

We demand that the Appeal is heard and decided on merits without any further delays. We demand justice. We demand accountability for the 13 years lost of a young Fulbright Scholar under fabricated blasphemy charges.
