@vkc1000 I remember watching a young Aravinda hooking the great Imran Khan for 2 huge sixes in his first tour to Pakistan. All time great!

I took these images at a detention center in #Islamabad when these innocent children were brought there from their schools, still carrying their school bags, without their families being informed. Later, when their father learned what had happened to his children and came there,

Funding cuts have forced nearly 600 clinics across Afghanistan to close, leaving millions without basic healthcare. Remote communities have been hit hardest, struggling to access essential medical care.

[Amnesty International South Asia, Regional Office @amnestysasia]

The Pakistan Medical and Dental Council's decision requiring Afghan medical students in Pakistan to return to Afghanistan is patently discriminatory and arbitrary in nature. The consequences of this decision are especially severe for female students, many of whom have already been denied access to higher education in Afghanistan amid Taliban’s ongoing gender persecution and now face the prospect of losing one of the few remaining pathways to pursue their education and profession. Many of these students will have devoted years studying medicine, only to see their education brought to an abrupt and unjustifiable end, with little prospect of being able to resume their studies elsewhere.

Pakistan has obligations under international human rights law to uphold the right to education without discrimination on the basis of national origin. Amnesty International urges the authorities to adopt a humane and practical solution that allows Afghan students, including women and girls, to complete their education.

🔴 Day 1,815 since the Taliban stopped Afghan girls attending secondary school.

We need a total reversal of this discriminatory policy.

Humanitarian aid must be able to reach the thousands of Afghans in need.

And Afghan girls in Iran and Pakistan must not be forced back to a country where their education and freedom are denied.

You are not forgotten.

20 students have been expelled from King Edward Medical University because they are Afghan nationals. 7 of them were in final year. How cruel is that. If Pakistani students were treated in the same manner in any major US or British university, how would we react ? This is unfair. Can’t punish students for the policies of the Afghan government

@Sheromalik Shameful!

🔴 Day 1,814 since secondary schools closed to girls in Afghanistan.

The Taliban's five-year campaign to remove women from public life is not protecting Afghanistan - it is slowly tearing the country apart and eroding its reputation on the world stage.

You are not forgotten.

This is what oligarchy is:

Elon Musk, the richest man alive, plans to spend at least $100 million to help elect Republicans.

We must end this corrupt campaign finance system, get rid of Citizens United, ban super PACs and move to public funding of elections.

El Niño is being supersized before our eyes.

The science is clear: Sea surface temperatures are rising, temperatures keep climbing & the world is in the danger zone of extreme weather.

The race now is between rising risks & our commitment to take #ClimateAction & protect people.

We must win that race.

The UN warns we can no longer prevent global warming.

Climate change is over. This is Climate Crisis.

Indonesia is another devastating reminder.

Strong, independent women make a society. Afghanistan will suffer from their ongoing exclusion from public life.

🔴 Day 1,808 since secondary schools closed to Afghan girls.

The Taliban's rules do not reflect the position of Afghan society.

Denying Afghan women their rights today weakens their standing - and the country's - tomorrow.

You are not forgotten.

I've never seen anything like this Michigan race. The Democratic Party is attacking its own candidate! In an absolutely pivotal race! I've seen more Democrats on TV attacking @AbdulElSayed than I've seen Democrats taking on GOP. Dems are attacking him more than Republicans are!
