Another reason why @BBC genocide celebrators didn’t release the medic documentary is because each and every doctor or medical professional who has testified or spoken on Gaza has said ISRAEL IS SHOOTING THE KIDS IN THEIR HEADS AND HEARTS.

[Gaza Notifications @gazanotice]

🚨BREAKING: The Israeli army killed Yaqeen Hammad, a young girl known for her humanitarian work, in a missile strike on Gaza.

[Mosab Abu Toha @MosabAbuToha]

Still complicit.

[TIMES OF GAZA @Timesofgaza]

Her name is Yaqeen, Israel killed her today in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza.

An appeal for the courts to protect victims instead of putting them on trial, re: Noor Mukadam:

There was a stunned silence in the courtroom when SC Justice Ali Baqir Najafi responded to the prosecution’s appeal for the State to take domestic violence and femicide cases seriously.

Instead of acknowledging the systemic failures that enable men to brutalize women with impunity, he said: ‘The State should sensitize the youth on the consequences of live-in relationships.’

These remarks were not only baseless - both in the context of this case and beyond - but downright dangerous. If the so-called ‘consequences’ of live-in relationships warrant State attention, then by that metric, women must also be warned about the consequences of marriage, or of simply being born, since the vast majority of violence against women is perpetrated by their husbands and family members.

Noor was not murdered because she was in a ‘live-in relationship’ or because she willingly went to Zahir’s house. She was murdered because Zahir felt entitled to her life when he could no longer control her. The only moral failing here was in the courtroom, with this fixation on Noor’s behavior rather than her killer’s. With the clear implication that her murder was somehow the result of modern immorality. And of course Salman Safdar (Zahir’s defense counsel) latched on to this remark and asked the SC bench not to treat this as a matrimonial case, saying this is the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and a guilty verdict would ‘open the floodgates’ for similar cases.

Noor’s lawyer rightly pointed out that her repeated attempts to escape were clear evidence that any supposed consent to be at Zahir’s house was revoked. This was abduction. But instead of engaging with these facts, the Bench returned to the irrelevant notion of a ‘live-in relationship.’ And this victim-blaming mindset reflected in the verdict they gave: Zahir was acquitted of the abduction charge. The sentences of the gardener and chowkidar were reduced, despite glaring evidence that she was held against her will.

This proves one thing: even in death, the woman will be judged more harshly than the man who killed her.

While we all celebrate the (death penalty) verdict, let us also pray for the day when this culture of moral scrutiny and shame ends. Justice is fractured when a man can abduct, torture and kill… and still be absolved of part of it.

[Dr. Omar Suleiman @omarsuleiman]

What a despicable world.

[Osman Khalid Butt 🇵🇸 @aClockworkObi]

When discussing the Supreme Court ruling, it’s incredibly important you center the conversation on the perpetrator’s privilege, not Noor’s. The assumption that both parties were ‘equally powerful’, and that Noor’s background alone secured her justice, is not only incorrect, it takes away from a landmark judgment. That Zahir’s conviction was upheld despite his family’s reach and legal resources is the real story.

A powerful precedent has been set: that no matter how influential the criminal’s family may be, no leniency will be shown when it comes to gender-based violence.

As a lawyer friend said: in a majority of cases, it’s not the background of a victim that prejudices a case, but that of the perpetrator – who are then let off.

Also, unless you closely followed the proceedings or were present at the SC, it’s important to understand that this wasn’t a straightforward or inevitable verdict. The defense had prepared an exhaustive, well-prepared case – for Zahir’s acquittal, mind you, not for a reduced sentence – every legal loophole that could be exploited, was. I have strong objections to some of the statements made by the SC bench (which I’ll discuss separately), however, the court upheld the death sentence despite minor procedural and protocol flaws in evidence recovery. Justice prevailed over red-tape protocols.

And finally, this case will now cited as a source, referenced and used as precedent in all future cases of such a heinous nature. It is a roadmap for all victims who might be silenced or dismissed. Recognize and celebrate that.

@curlistani Thinking if her and all of her loved ones who went though hell and back these past 4 years 😭😭😭💙💙💙

[Faryal Haque Nawaz @Faryalhaque]

Ya Allah, teray insaaf se baalatar nahin koi 🙏 Allahu Akbar. Thoughts and prayers for Noor's family and friends. It has been a long and taxing battle for them.

[Justice for Noor @justicefornoor]

The Supreme Court of Pakistan has upheld Zahir Jaffer’s death sentence. After 4 years of struggle, we finally have #justiceforNoor. This verdict is a reminder that women’s lives matter and their voices will be heard.
This is not just for Noor - it’s for all women of Pakistan.

No hate to any political party but this is highly insensitive and unacceptable. If you will use these black dala’s to run circus ring in the name of election campaign then later on don’t complain about dala’s playing wild circus with you in the name of bla bla #Election2024
