Not all those who wander are lost

[Kasim Khan @Kasim_Khan_1999]

My father has been under arrest for 845 days. For the past six weeks, he has been kept in solitary confinement in a death cell with zero transparency. His sisters have been denied every visit, even with clear court orders allowing access. There have been no phone calls, no meetings and no proof of life. Me and my brother have had no contact with our father.

This absolute blackout is not a security protocol. It is a deliberate attempt to hide his condition and prevent our family from knowing whether he is safe.

Let it be clear: the Pakistani government and its handlers will be held fully accountable legally, morally and internationally for my father’s safety and for every consequence of this inhumane isolation.

I call on the international community, global human rights organisations and every democratic voice to intervene urgently. Demand proof of life, enforce court ordered access, end this inhumane isolation and call for the release of Pakistan’s most popular political leader who is being held solely for political reasons.

The Palestinian struggle is for self-determination after our families were forced out of their homes through mass expulsion, murder, rape, and land theft.

You don’t solve colonialism by entrenching it. You stop the colonial entity that is shamelessly committing genocide.

Bringing back architects of the Iraq war that stole a million lives, and handing our destiny to the genocidal maniacs that stole a million more is stupid and sick.

[VERSUS @vsrsus]

Rest in peace to Suleiman Obeid. A legendary Palestinian footballer who was killed by Israeli occupational forces while waiting for humanitarian aid to feed his family.

The Pelé of Palestine was a symbol of pride in a place too often denied joy.

A thread.

@KhanMarria Yes especially the G word. Someone at Disney is getting sacked 😂

A must watch

[Audrey ⎕ @juneerso]

She said the word.
She said GENOCIDE.

I continuously state that this show is the most important piece of film/tv releasing. Some of the most jaw droppingly bold and important pieces of media like this ever released and especially in today’s world

The images of the genocide fresh out of Gaza, as the colonial bastard that is Israel carries out its favorite pastime of murdering Palestinian children in their holiest days.

Praying for our people, and against our enemies.

Just another day at the office for Alex Isak 🥶

The wait is over!
Many congratulations to @NUFC on winning its first domestic trophy for 70 years after defeating Liverpool in the final of the Carabao Cup.

It was wonderful to see the spectacular sight of #NUFC fans waving their scarves and inspiring the team to victory.

Mahmoud holds a green card, is a graduate of Columbia university and was merely a student protestor. His wife is a US citizen who is 8 months pregnant. He was abducted from his home and disappeared by ICE agents.

Trump is openly taunting him and the entire community by extension. Trump is trash. His fascism is quickly escalating. His foreign and domestic policy are unapologetically Israel first.

[Dr. Omar Suleiman @omarsuleiman]

Genocide is costly after all.

And those who responded to that agony with sheer arrogance are responsible for their own downfall.

The rest of us will keep fighting evil whether it’s wrapped in red or blue.

[Jemima Goldsmith @Jemima_Khan]

In the last few weeks there have been serious and concerning developments regarding my sons’ father, Imran Khan’s treatment in prison. The Pakistan authorities have stopped all visits to him by his family and his lawyers. They have also postponed all court hearings. In addition to cutting off in- person visits, and in defiance of a court order, his weekly calls to his sons, Sulaiman and Kasim Khan, who are British and who live in London, were stopped on 10th September. We have received reports that the authorities have now turned off the lights and electricity in his cell and he is no longer allowed to leave his cell at any time. The jail cook has been sent on leave. He is now completely isolated, in solitary confinement, literally in the dark, with no contact with the outside world. His lawyers are concerned about his safety and well-being.

These actions come in the context of ongoing targeting of Imran’s family, as well as his party (PTI) members and supporters in an attempt to silence them and all political opposition in Pakistan. Imran’s nephew, Hassan Niazi, a civilian, has been detained in military custody since August 2023. More recently, Imran Khan’s sisters, Uzma and Aleema Khan, who have continued to speak out on his behalf, have also been arrested as they made their way peacefully to a demonstration and they are currently being held in jail, despite there being no proper or lawful basis for their imprisonment.

In June this year the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention found that Imran is unlawfully and arbitrarily detained and called for his immediate release.

 As a matter of urgency , we are calling for Imran Khan’s release, and for the release of his sisters and nephew as well as for his sons’ contact with their father to be re-established, so that they may have assurance first-hand that he is well and not being mistreated.

Believe it, Nadeem.
You just became Pakistan's first ever athletics Olympic champion. 🇵🇰🥹

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

There is no other way to say this: the (lack of) reaction to the scenes of sheer carnage, burned refugee bodies, and decapitated babies coming out of Rafah tonight from the U.S. political and media establishments is nothing other than the normalizing, the banalizing, of genocide.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

If this were in Russia or Iran -- a police force of this size deployed against students protesting the state's war policies -- it'd be universally denounced as evil tyranny.

The problem for the protesters is they chose the one issue that could provoke police force of this kind:

[Bassem Youssef @Byoussef]

I am sure this generation will grow up to be soooo in love with Israel . You can arrest students , you can ban tik tok , you can buy the richest man in the world to be you simp (yes you @elonmusk ) but this charade is done . Israel has been exposed for what it really is : a murderous , racist lying entity .

[Aimaad A. Khan @aimaad22]

Respect the brave dissenting voices. History will remember, just as it will those enabling genocide.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

If you support how these folks voted, I can’t emphasize enough how important it is to let them know.

They will be under relentless pressure and attack. It is important to show support - on the inside, it can often feel like there isn’t.

Call, write, post. It makes a difference.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Yes, the arms that the West sold to Israel were used by Israel to launch an attack on an Iranian consulate in Syria which prompted a retaliatory attack from Iran on Israel which has brought the entire region to the precipice of all-out war.

So, yeah, stop selling arms to Israel.
