A PREGNANT CHRISTIAN MOTHER WAS THROWN INTO A FURNACE, AND PAKISTAN CALLED IT UNPROVEN
Shama Bibi was 24 years old and pregnant. Her husband Shahzad Masih was 26.

They were bonded brick kiln workers in Kot Radha Kishan, Kasur District, Punjab Province, and on November 4, 2014, a mosque loudspeaker announced they had desecrated pages of the Quran.
It was false.

A mob of roughly 500 to 600 people tore the roof off the office where the couple had taken refuge, dragged them out, beat them, and threw them into the kiln furnace while they were still alive.

Three children were left behind.
Twelve years later, on July 9, 2026, Pakistan's Supreme Court acquitted the last three men who had been sentenced to death for it.

The written judgment released on August 13 admitted the crime was shocking and brutal while ruling the evidence insufficient.

Not one person is now serving time for burning a pregnant Christian woman and her husband alive.
If a crowd of six hundred people does something in broad daylight and the courts still find nobody responsible, what does justice actually mean for Christians in Pakistan?

#WATCH | Kyiv, Ukraine: "...This conflict, which is today in its fifth year, will not be solved because somebody is buying or not buying oil or alumina or minerals or metals or fertiliser. This conflict will be solved by dialogue, diplomacy, and negotiation. That is why, it is something we would encourage," says EAM Dr S Jaishankar when asked if India plans to purchase less Russian oil if the US approves the sanctions on Russian-oil buying nations

MUSLIM PERSONAL LAW CAN’T BE A PRETEXT FOR MARRYING A MINOR: KERALA HC

PROGRESSIVE RULING CRIMINALISES PAEDOPHILIA IN THE NAME OF RELIGION

Kerala HC rules that if one party to a marriage is below 18, POCSO applies irrespective of the marriage’s validity under Muslim personal law.

The case concerns a girl who was 17 when she allegedly married the accused. The prosecution alleged that he took her to his residence and repeatedly sexually assaulted her between October 23 and 26, 2021.

The prosecution further alleged that her parents, despite knowing what had happened, neither took her back nor reported the matter to authorities.

PERSONAL LAW CANNOT OVERRIDE STATUTORY PROTECTION FOR CHILDREN

[The Forgotten ‘Man’ 👨‍⚖️ @SamSiff]

MP Sanjay Yadav just dropped a bomb in Parliament.🔥
Even peon-level government jobs demand competitive exams.

But judges of the higher judiciary?
Appointed without any exam. No transparent criteria.
No public reasons.
Just Collegium decisions behind closed doors.

He called out the system for what it is:

Nepotism.

Elite dominance.

Not merit.

His demand is clear:

Abolish the Collegium.

Create All India Judicial Service.

Transparent, examination-based recruitment.
And reservation in higher judiciary too.

Public has every right to know how judges who decide our lives, liberty and family cases are selected.

This is long overdue.

As India prepares to introduce new FCRA regulations to tighten oversight of foreign funding despite both internal and external pressure, the U.S. has announced a Major POLICY SHIFT. 🚨

The U.S. government says foreign aid will now be provided directly to national governments, rather than routed through NGOs.

"If the goal is to help a country, fund the country- not middlemen who turn aid into a business model or a vehicle for ideology."

VIDEO | Glasgow: The first person judoka Asmita Dey wanted to tell about her Commonwealth Games gold was the one person she no longer could do it. Her father, a cycle mechanic who earned barely Rs 300 a day and raised his family in a mud house in a small village in Tripura, died of a brain stroke seven months ago.

On Friday, as the 23-year-old became the first Indian judoka to win a Commonwealth Games gold in the women's 48kg category, the medal felt as much his as hers.

"When my father passed away, I thought everything had finished because he was the one who supported me," Asmita said, struggling to hold back tears after her historic triumph.

For a few moments, the celebrations gave way to memories of the man who had carried her dream long before it became India's dream.

"I am from a very small village in Tripura. People there don't dream this big. But Papa always supported me," she said.

He is Dr Nagendra from Bengaluru, Karnataka.

He reported the presence of two alleged illegal Bangladeshi immigrants in the city.

What happened then? Two criminal cases were registered against Dr Nagendra, and he was arrested.

Now, the Karnataka High Court has rebuked the Bengaluru Police over filing two criminal cases against him. During the hearing, the court reportedly remarked that the police should not indulge in "appeasement" while dealing with complaints of illegal immigration and must instead act strictly in accordance with the law.

The court also questioned why criminal cases were registered against the complainant instead of first verifying his allegations. It stayed further proceedings against Dr. Nagendra until the next hearing.

Well, if an Indian citizen who reports illegal immigrants is arrested, then who will come forward to report such cases in the future? Which citizen will be willing to stay vigilant and take that risk if they themselves could end up being arrested for reporting it?

Bangladesh: In Madaraipur district, Islamists abducted a 4 years old Hindu girl and raped her.

After the torture, Islamists left the girl in front of her home.

Her mother is crying in front of the local influential Muslim leaders for justice.

This is the condition of the Hindu minorities in Bangladesh. They have no right to get justice.

And all this was happening right under the nose of the Supreme Court, that punished NCERT for a chapter on judicial corruption.
