By imposing an emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the federal government has undermined the democratic choice of the people of KP and its provincial autonomy.
The authority of KP’s elected institutions flows from the people’s will, not from the dictates of the federal government.
They did to @ImaanZHazir & @AdvHadiali exactly what they did to @Aliwazirna50. It's a clear message to the highest courts that no matter what justice you give to those who serve humanity, they will rot in jail for speaking up for the wretched people of this country.We have arrived here because we were unable to protect our space & when the state is seen to be unreasonable,it loses authority. https://t.co/ZIE80VjS4j

Imaan and Hadi’s continued incarceration sends a broader, disgraceful message.
No court order makes a difference if the state wants you in jail.
This should be frightening for any person that believes in the rule of law.
If this overreach is accepted, the sword of the FCC will hang over every single case before the Supreme Court.
Every time the SC exercises its jurisdiction, there will be a constant possibility that it will be taken over by the FCC. The SC would be left exercising its jurisdiction under a permanent threat of intervention by another court.
Whenever the government anticipates an adverse SC order, it will rush to the FCC.
The case in which the two courts have been brought face-to-face over the boundaries of their jurisdiction is not some complex constitutional question. It is a straightforward case: the government is denying IK adequate medical facilities.
Every justification for the 27th Amendment stands exposed.
In Pakistan, violence against women and girls is a human rights crisis.
For many, a woman that asserts her autonomy is seen as someone who must be punished. On acknowledging and dismantling rape culture for Dawn today:

LAHORE AGAINST GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE
We come together this Saturday to remember Hina Javed, Hina Zareef, Ayesha Gilamana, Jannat Khatoon and countless others whom we lost to GBV. We also highlight that transgender women are uniquely targeted by patriarchal violence.

Punjab’s atrocious Anti-Terrorism (Amendment) Bill, 2026, passed by the assembly yesterday, has effectively abolished the right to a fair trial in all cases and “class of cases” that a BS-20 officer nominated by the Govt considers “special security” cases
Yet another example of our assemblies making a complete mockery of fundamental rights in the name of “security” and “extraordinary circumstances”

We’re living in a society where no one is willing to talk about why 14 children died at a tuition centre in Lahore, who is responsible, or how such tragedies can be prevented in the future. Meanwhile, a Revo (dalla) floating in water has been watched by over 20 million people.
We mourn the loss and tragic demise of Ghulam Murtaza, Naib Qasid, LHCBA and join in prayers for the departed and pray for his forgiveness. May he be blessed and rest in peace. Ameen.
Murtaza will truly be missed and surely it is an immense loss for us all at the LHCBA.
Today marks 13 years since Junaid Hafeez was thrown behind bars on blasphemy charges.
Thirteen years stolen from a brilliant mind.
Thirteen years of injustice and cruelty. How long will this injustice continue? #FreeJunaidHafeez
