Pakistan must immediately release human rights lawyers Imaan Mazari-Hazir and Hadi Ali Chattha and drop unfounded criminal and terrorism charges against them, UN experts said today. @SRjudgeslawyers https://t.co/Df61xtUDwX

Nusrat and Benazir were never shown ZAB's body to mentally torture them. Benazir told me she never got 'sabar' and quoted verse which says that seeing face for last time gives you 'sabar' closure. Bugti's body was returned to kith sealed with locks. Which dictator was the worst?

Is the new IAF tally accurate? This is hard to say. We obviously have imagery of damage to hangars. Of the six aircraft reportedly downed by the S-400, I believe there is weak circumstantial evidence of a crash site at Dinga (but no evidence of which airframe to my knowledge).

Hanifs piece send shudders down my spine made me remember the gentle voice of Sajid Hussain who spoke to me just a week before he disappeared. He had a lot of pain but also a lot of life in his voice. https://t.co/qdUBNiqGV2

“You were amongst that endangered species of Baloch men who, if educated & had some kind of compulsion 4 plainspeaking, were likely to get abducted, go missing 4 years and for their body to be found on roadside.” Sajid Hussain may your soul rest in peace https://t.co/qdUBNiqGV2

Pak military runs a multi-billion dollar business empire, controlling sectors from real estate to manufacturing.

This undermines civilian governance, stifles competition,& diverts resources away from crucial public needs!

@husainhaqqani At track 2s Pak delegations explain to their counterparts that if you do it we will do it to you. In the process they are gradually increasing their own problems. Jihad is a project
