It is deeply disheartening to see this happening. What has been done to Imaan and Hadi is not just a punishment of two individuals; it is a tragedy for an entire generation.
These are young people who were raised with hope for a better future, a better society, and a better Pakistan. A generation full of ideas, passion, and compassion that wanted to stand with those who were oppressed, marginalized, and unrepresented.
Imaan could have stayed in the West, built a comfortable career, and lived a secure life. Instead, she chose to return to Pakistan, to build something of her own, to fight for justice, and to contribute to the country she believed in.
It is young people like Imaan who shape a nation’s future. Progressive societies are strengthened by voices that challenge injustice, defend the vulnerable, and bring diversity of thought. Pakistan should be protecting such people, not sentencing them to 17 years in prison.
We can choose to stay quiet and become complicit in what is happening, or we can raise our voices and stand with the young people who still believe Pakistan can be more just, more democratic, and more humane. Silence will not build the future they dreamed of.

Amnesty International has called on Pakistan’s military dictatorship regime to restore Imran Khan’s rights at the 3rd anniversary of his unlawful incarceration.
Imran Khan, despite losing 85% sight in one of his eyes, has been denied medical attention from his personal physicians, and the last time someone from his family saw him was on December 2nd last year.
He has since been in solitary confinement.

Press and the nation rise and fall together because media acts as the 4th pillar of the state. @CMShehbaz like it or not but this BBC report points towards the collapse of independent media which is 4th pillar. Is it the collapse of just one pillar or the whole system?

What are they covering up? Pakistani authorities have imposed severe new restrictions on international media, including barring them from reporting in most of the country, in a move that has provoked a significant backlash from journalist organizations. https://t.co/sdKfyG518j
