Disciplinary action against students at FAST is another example of how students are policed by university administrations. Young people today are not viewed as assets. They are viewed as a law and order problem.
This approach is unjust & unsustainable. #ShameOnFAST
University admins dont respond when students say they are struggling financially & emotionally during a pandemic. Yet they are quick to take disciplinary action against students for making memes!
Our universities are becoming jails for young people. FAST admin should be ashamed!
Student Action Committee announced a nation-wide protest on 23rd June against online classes and nonavailability of internet for students in the current pandemic. As a consequence to those protests and more that followed, students protesting in Baluchistan
Women’s Collective condemns the arrest of innocent Baloch and Pashtun students in Quetta today who were protesting for their right to education. The barbaric state has put into jail the very youth they claim is the future of the country.
The irony is stark!

👉 Because organizing is the basis for defending ourselves, and if they attack our organizational spaces our response is to strengthen the connections even more. If we are together, they will not break our strength.
Two days ago, I was fired from the @citizensarchive, along with 12 other employees. We were told that the organisation won’t pay us until the #CoronaInPakistan situation dies down, and that we’ll be ‘welcome to apply again’ after that. This is a violation of our rights.
Today, volunteers of @Haqooq_e_Khalq went to distribute rations among workers residing in Chungi Amar Saddu. As usual, we heard tales of cruelty from factory bosses as both salaried workers & contract labourers have not been paid for the lockdown period. #LabourReliefCampaign
We have announced to #BoycottOnlineClasses all over the country. In the light of availability of internet facility in our country, online classes can only be available to privileged thus exclude the working class nd periphery students who cannot afford them.
Going for our first distribution drive as part of @Haqooq_e_Khalq’s #LabourReliefCampaign. Today we will distribute ration to workers committees in Gajjumata and Chungi Amer Sidhu, Lahore. #WorkersFirst

We are highly thankful to @PSCollective_ for taking an initiative of organising the students all across Pak, GB and Kashmir. This will not only strengthen the voice of students but will also become a ray of hope for all marginalized segments of our society. #StudentRightsNOW
Education Emergency meeting is being hosted by @PSCollective_ to build a larger student-workers alliance in Lahore. This meeting is a tribute to a veteran communist leader Comrade Manzoor Hussain, who tirelessly worked to unify all marginalized segments of our society
