[Dr. Omar Suleiman @omarsuleiman]

The images from Gaza of the Rafah massacre by Israel last night look like a horror movie. Children dangling with limbs blown off, or crawling screaming with their dying breaths. Parents picking up the heads of their babies that are barely recognizable. The hundreds stacked like bodies in a slaughterhouse.

The fact that their stories will be erased in mainstream media while videos are being suppressed on social media tells you all you need to know. Any semblance of international law or standard for humanity is dead. Palestinian life under occupation never mattered to you before, so our deaths under genocide don’t matter to you now.

Don’t ever lecture us on morality again. Your hearts are dead.

🇵🇰 Pakistan: @Amnesty strongly condemns the arrest and detention of at least 20 participants of the Baloch march on 17 December in Dera Ghazi Khan, Punjab.

The protestors, many of them women and families of the forcibly disappeared, peacefully held a sit-in and, subsequently, started a long march from Balochistan to Islamabad demanding justice and accountability after the extrajudicial killing of Balach Mola Bakhsh and three others by the Pakistan Counterterrorism Department (CTD) in Turbat, Balochistan on 23 November 2023. Balach, a 24 year old Baloch man, was taken by law enforcement on 29 October and was in CTD custody on remand when extrajudicially executed.

The protestors have been released, however, 3 separate cases against the organizers and participants have been filed.

Amnesty International demands that the Pakistani authorities:
- Immediately and unconditionally drop all charges against all those charged solely for exercising their right to freedom of expression.
- Conduct an impartial investigation of all extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances, particularly in Balochistan, in line with international standards.
- Compensate families of victims of extrajudicial killings and those forcibly disappeared.

Came across Dr. Refaat Alareer's poem "If I must die" just a few days ago, I cried and couldn't help but translated it to Chinese without his permission. Now that he's gone.

[Husam Zomlot @hzomlot]

Israel media did not show the mass murder of Palestinian children and innocent civilians, or the mass destruction of Gaza. But Israeli media has no qualms about showing these savage images of Israeli occupation forces detaining and stripping civilians taken from a UN shelter in Gaza today. This evokes some of humanity’s darkest passages of history. It is well past time that the world speaks as one and demands - and enforces - an immediate and permanent #ceasefire.

Some unfortunate news: bigotry is also bad when we do it.

[lex @lexbyanyname]

do people realize that "evacuate to the south" keeps changing meaning? some families have been displaced more than 5x because "the south" keeps meaning further and further south. many people getting killed for "not evacuating south" have already moved south over and over again!

[omair @cubisticromeos]

Never has there been a time I've been so ashamed to be pakistani. The state is deporting children, Afghanis with documentation who were born and raised here, being sent to a country they've never even seen.

'when the Taliban...has banned education beyond grade 6 for girls, with economic sanctions & an infrastructure devastated by the ‘war on terror’, & the...earthquakes in Herat, deporting people who came...to seek refuge is deplorable.' ⁦@taniasaeed⁩ https://t.co/E4p7oBKeQp

[Mohammed El-Kurd @m7mdkurd]

Between 1947 and 1949, Zionist militias forcibly displaced 750K Palestinians and killed 15,000, in an ethnic cleansing campaign.

Since Oct 7—meaning, in just 22 days—the Zionist regime has displaced 1.4 million Palestinians in Gaza and killed over 8,000.

Think about that.

[Amnesty International South Asia, Regional Office @amnestysasia]

🇵🇰More than 1.4 million undocumented Afghan refugees are at imminent risk of deportation from #Pakistan after the government of Pakistan imposed the deadline of 1 Nov for the refugees to leave the country. This is a violation of their human rights and raises serious concerns regarding their safety, welfare, and access to basic services.
Join us in urging the Pakistan authorities @GovtofPakistan to immediately reverse its decision and adhere to international human rights law.

[Zoya Rehman @pind_wave]

while a genocide is happening in gaza, our government is packing afghans into deportation containers like they are cargo and not actual human beings. one container met an accident, resulting in the loss of lives.

let that sink in; evil walks among us.

[Change of Pace @ChangeofPace414]

Our cricketers have championed Pakistani sentiments today.

We echo their support for a Free Palestine and an end to the genocide of the Palestinian people.

Amongst the many attributes of Pakistan Cricket we take pride in, being synonymous with the Palestinian struggle is #1.
