My children are not allowed to speak on the phone to their father @ImranKhanPTI. He has been in solitary confinement in prison for nearly 2 years.
Pakistan’s government has now said if they go there to try to see him, they too will be arrested and put behind bars.
This doesn’t happen in a democracy or a functioning state. This isn’t politics. It’s a personal vendetta.

Congratulations on behalf of myself & PTI to @realDonaldTrump for winning the US Presidential Elections. The will of the American people held against all odds.

President Elect Trump will be good for Pak-US relations based on mutual respect for democracy & human rights. We hope he will push for peace, human rights and democracy globally.

[International Human Rights Foundation @IHRF_English]

#Pakistan 🇵🇰: The International Human Rights Foundation expresses deep concern over the recent decision, taken at midnight, to strip the most popular political party, PTI of its election symbol, thereby rendering the party without direction. This action speaks volumes about the apparent state-sponsored fascism and political engineering in Pakistan, orchestrated by the establishment operating under the military junta.

It is aptly being characterized as a "huge blow to fundamental rights," reflecting a disturbing trend in the erosion of democratic principles. This decision, akin to the regrettable events of 1971 when similar circumstances led to the disintegration of Pakistan and the creation of Bangladesh, will be remembered as a shameful and biased moment in history.

The International Human Rights Foundation urgently calls upon global bodies to intervene in Pakistan to stabilize the situation, which is rapidly escalating towards a humanitarian crisis. This is especially alarming in a nuclear-armed Republic with a population of 250 million people. The world can not afford to ignore such a precarious situation, and immediate action is imperative to safeguard fundamental rights and prevent further deterioration.

So you can't enter Bahria Town Lahore on a bicycle. We were invited as a guest there for a dinner at a restaurant. The guards stopped us at the main gate from Ada plot. He then after talking allowed us to pass through but in a very bad tune. When I confronted him that he should

@Nomanbahadur Get well soon Noman. I hope it is mild.

@immis89 @faizansharif @omar_quraishi I think the question of "which vaccine" needs quite a lot of data with different test-groups getting vaccinated with different jabs. At this point, it can be misleading when majority has either sinovac or sinopharm. Obviously 95% of severe cases will be either one of there.

[Asad Abdullah @_AsadAbdullah]

@Umme_Hala @umarsaif This report signifies the importance of second jab (any vaccine). It mentioned Pfizer BioNTech and AstraZeneca in particular. It must be mentioned the other vaccines were not studied in this report. We should be optimist about all vaccines. Crux: Make sure to get the second jab!
