Dr. Tanya Haj-Hassan, a volunteer who went to Gaza:
“I held a lifeless child in my arms—there was no equipment to save him. This isn’t a war, it’s a massacre of innocents.”
I’m sick of everything being pinned on October 7 and of the endless excuses and blame placed on Palestinians. This is a video I made years before October 7, yet people still act shocked that it happened. What occurred was not sudden or random — it was the result of long-standing injustice. The responsibility lies with governments and mainstream media that ignored the reality on the ground, not with a people who have been denied their basic rights for decades.
The government and the mainstream media must now do the right thing. They bear responsibility for what has unfolded, and they must hold Israel to account, confront colonial injustice, and stand for justice, dignity, and freedom for the Palestinian people.

The State Department condemns violence & restrictions on freedoms in Pakistan's election. Expresses concern "about allegations of interference." Calls for investigation. Relatively mild statement, considering the great scale of the rigging that went down. https://t.co/tjw5kMnMZO
I am deeply troubled by reports of interference in this week's election in Pakistan. The legitimacy of any incoming government rests on fair elections, free of manipulation, intimidation, or fraud. The Pakistani people deserve nothing less than a transparent democratic process and true representative government.
I call on the State Department to refrain from recognizing the results until credible, independent investigations have been conducted into the numerous allegations of misconduct.
I echo the @StateDept call for a full investigation of election interference and fraud in Pakistan. Now is the time for the international community to stand on the side of the people of Pakistan. We cannot recognize a new government until it is clear that democracy has prevailed.
I am continuing to monitor the election in Pakistan and in particular any findings made by independent election observers regarding reports of interference or harassment occurring at the polls. The U.S. must remain committed to ensuring that all our partners uphold the democratic principles we share, including the right of the people to vote in free and fair elections.
We recognise serious concerns over the fairness and lack of inclusivity of Pakistan’s elections.
Authorities must uphold fundamental human rights including free access to information and the rule of law.
I applaud all who voted.

This is an important moment in history to ensure that the people of Pakistan are heard in their national elections. It is also important that the election observers and the allies of Pakistan are allowed to ensure election integrity;
I’ve supported legislation in the House with both my Republican and Democrat friends expressing support for democracy and human rights in Pakistan.
Following Pakistan’s general elections yesterday there have been reports of interference and harassment at the polls...
#Pakistan🇵🇰 “Respect the Asian tiger”, an opinion piece by Jaume d’Urgell (@JaumedUrgell), Secretary-General of the International Human Rights Foundation (IHRF).
RESPECT THE ASIAN TIGER
Jaume d'Urgell, IHRF's Sec-Gen
In the pursuit of a harmonious future, I earnestly advocate for a Pakistan where democratic principles flourish, the military upholds the sovereign will of its citizens, and the nation moves together towards a prosperous horizon, ensuring a dignified and promising future for all its people.
is with a deep sense of urgency and concern that I address the international community about the grave situation unfolding in Pakistan. The ousting of Prime Minister Imran Khan by the country's military, in clear defiance of the democratic will of the Pakistani people expressed through the ballot box, is an appalling violation of democratic principles and human rights. This act of overthrow, allegedly at the behest of the United States government because of opposition to Khan's policy of maintaining neutrality in the NATO-Russia conflict in Ukraine, is a blatant interference in Pakistan's sovereign affairs and an affront to the principles of self-determination and democratic governance.
In the aftermath of this upheaval, there has been a worrying escalation of authoritarian measures by the Pakistani military establishment, including censorship, exile, illegal arrests and the appalling targeting of journalists such as Arshad Sharif, culminating in acts of violence and suppression of political dissent. The filing of numerous baseless cases, the attack on former Prime Minister Imran Khan, the harassment of PTI party members and the outright manipulation of the electoral process are indicative of a deliberate strategy to undermine the judiciary, silence the opposition and erode the democratic fabric of the nation. Such actions not only jeopardise the integrity of Pakistan's democratic institutions, but also pose a significant threat to regional stability and peace.
The international community, particularly the United States, the United Kingdom and the European Union, must reflect on the implications of their attitudes and policies towards Pakistan. The tacit acceptance or support of an emerging military dictatorship, at the risk of triggering civil conflict in a nuclear-armed state, raises profound questions about the commitment of these global actors to democratic values and human rights. The potential for such a situation to escalate into a wider regional or global crisis cannot be underestimated, and the costs, both human and geopolitical, would be catastrophic.
In the interests of peace, democracy, regional stability and the well-being of the Pakistani people, it is imperative that the international community, particularly those nations with significant influence in global affairs, reassess their approach to Pakistan. Respect for Pakistan's sovereignty, non-interference in its internal democratic processes and support for a peaceful and democratic resolution of the current crisis are essential. The future of Pakistan, and indeed the wider region, must be determined by the will of its people, free from external coercion or influence, in accordance with the principles of international law and human rights.◼️
