Ashura happens every year.

Millions of people in black, in the streets, publicly mourning a death that happened fourteen centuries ago.

Western analysts look at this and see irrationality. Backwardness. The unproductive management of historical grief.

They are missing the function.

Ashura is not primarly about the past.

It is a yearly rehearsal of a moral framework.

A yearly renewal of the understanding that standing against unjust power, even when you will lose, even when the outcome is death, is not defeat but testimony.

Shaheed, martyr, does not simply mean someone who died.

It means witness.

Someone whose death is itself a form of speech that cannot be silenced.

A civilization that practices this framework annually, that embeds it in the bodies of its people through ritual and grief and solidarity, is building something the sanctions spreadsheet cannot model.

It is building a population for whom sacrifice has been pre-interpreted.

For whom the meaning of loss has already been decided before the loss occurs.

That is not a military capability.

It is something that military capability cannot defeat.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei appears in newly released footage for the first time.

A rare public glimpse into Iran’s new leadership.

Iran is not fighting this war only for Iran.

Understand that first. Absorb it. Because until you understand it, nothing else about this conflict makes sense.

Iran is fighting for the right of any nation on earth to exist outside the permission structure of Washington and Tel Aviv.

It is fighting for the principle that sovereignty is not something granted by empire, it is something inherent. And if it must be defended with blood, then blood is what gets spent.

Every country that has been sanctioned into poverty for daring to disagree.

Every government that has been coup'd out of existence for nationalizing its own resources.

Every leader who has been assassinated by a drone because he refused to make himself useful to someone else's agenda.

Every people told that their choices are submission or destruction.

Iran is fighting for all of them.

You don't have to like the Iranian government to understand what's at stake.

You don't have to agree with every policy, every ideology, every internal decision.

That's not the point.

The point is that a country of 90 million people has looked at the most powerful military and financial empire in human history, and said: no.

Said it for forty-seven years.

Said it under sanctions that would have broken most nations.

Said it while being threatened with annihilation on a weekly basis by countries with actual nuclear weapons.

The question this war is really asking is not whether Iran survives.

The question is whether any country is allowed to survive on its own terms.

That question belongs to all of us.

Prime Minister @andyburnham and Foreign Secretary @Ed_Miliband : how much longer will Britain remain silent?

For three years the father of my two sons, and Pakistan’s former Prime Minister, Imran Khan, has been brutally penalised by his political opponents, in a personal vendetta by Army Chief, Asim Munir,  which according to the UN,  amounts to torture and which  is now taking a potentially fatal toll on his physical and mental health. 

He has endured 3 years of solitary confinement. For nearly ten months now his family has been denied contact with him. He has been deprived of the most basic human contact, denied access to books, lawyers and doctors.

The international human-rights standards are unequivocal. Under the UN’s Nelson Mandela Rules, solitary confinement lasting more than 15 consecutive days is prohibited and amounts to torture.

He has endured this treatment not for 15 days, but for three years.

Pakistan’s own Supreme Court has now intervened: ordering comprehensive  medical treatment, access to his personal doctor, regular family visits and twice-weekly calls with his sons.

Yet those orders are being defied.

This is no longer simply a Pakistani political matter. It is a human-rights emergency.

He has deep and lifelong ties to Britain. He studied at Oxford University, captained Oxford University cricket and spent years playing county cricket in England. His relationship with this country stretches back more than half a century. His charitable activities were internationally recognised, and  include building the only free cancer hospital in Pakistan as well as a university.

His sons, my two boys, Sulaiman and Kasim, are British citizens. They have been forced to watch their father’s health decline from thousands of miles away, prevented from visiting him, denied visas, publicly threatened by government officials with arrest themselves, and even denied court-mandated regular phone calls. 

I have repeatedly appealed to the UK government to intervene. Purported attempts at back channelling have evidently failed. The previous Foreign Secretary @DavidLammy informed me in writing that Britain would not  intervene if my sons, British citizens, are arrested when they travel to Pakistan to visit their father. 

@FCDOGovUK: Britain must now speak out publicly and unequivocally. Demand that Pakistan comply with its own Supreme Court;  restore Imran Khan’s medical access, his right to see his family, end his prolonged isolation and uphold his fundamental human rights.

Pakistan is a Commonwealth country. Britain has a long and proud tradition of standing against arbitrary detention, inhumane treatment and the denial of fundamental rights. Those principles mean very little if we invoke them only selectively and neglect them when inconvenient.
This an appeal to the new Burnham government  to please now do the right thing.

Karbala will repeat every day
Pick your side:
"Son of Man" or "Epstein"?

[Sony Thăng @nxt888]

Karbala was not a defeat.

This must be understood. Without understanding this, you cannot understand anything about why Iran fights the way it fights, with the commitment it has, in the face of what it faces.

In 680 CE, Imam Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet, took a small group of seventy-two companions and family members to stand against the army of Yazid at a plain called Karbala. He knew he was going to lose. He knew most of them would die. His companions knew it too. He gave them every opportunity to leave. Some did. Most stayed.

They fought. They fell. Hussein was killed. His head was taken. The women and children were taken prisoner.

By every conventional measure: a defeat. A massacre.

And that defeat has been burning in the hearts of hundreds of millions of people for nearly fourteen hundred years.

Not as a wound to be avenged and then forgotten. As a permanent reference point. As the axis around which a certain understanding of justice and resistance and the willingness to stand for truth regardless of the odds has organized itself for fourteen centuries.

When an Iranian soldier goes to war, he understands himself in relation to Karbala. When an Iranian martyr falls, he understands his fall in relation to Karbala. When the movement suffers losses, it understands those losses in relation to Karbala.

The defeat at Karbala became the spiritual engine of a resistance tradition that has not stopped running since.

The empire has no historical reference point that functions like this. It has no equivalent depth of motivational infrastructure. It has soldiers who are paid and trained and equipped.

Iran has soldiers who believe. These are not the same thing.
