Today, I sent a bank payment to a French painter whose work I admire. It was for a stunning abstract. He got a call:

‘Just now I received a phone call from my bank saying that they can not accept your money transfer… I asked why ? And they say because of your « opinions »… So I asked them to write down this on an Email… And they accepted the transfer.’

My opinions can only mean those on one subject: Palestine. Why is Europe going down this road to such an extent? Perhaps the caller from the bank was acting individually and read a text of mine he/she hated. In that case why make the phone call?
Another friend , but in London, hearing the story remarked: 'Lloyd Bank denied the mother of a Palestine Action prisoner a mortgage on account of her daughter's arrest'
Is every bank behaving like this? Why no boycott of Lloyds. Bigotry before profits? Amazing.

shameful how a former PM is being denied medical treatment even after a court has ordered it. Even more shameful, that leaders of both parties PMLN and PPP have spent the better part of their convictions in private hospitals, domestic and foreign.
Yet most shameful has been Law Minister announcing on national television that “authorities” have decided that SC order is outside “legal parameters”.

as hybrid defense minister loves to say:
کوئی شرم، کوئی حیا، کوئی گریس ہوتی ہے

#Lahore: #AccidentAlert 7/7/26 around 12pm
A 13-year-old, Subhan, died after two cars racing hit his bike in a street race at Lahore’s housing society Askari X. According to the details, the FIR initially lodged was inaccurate, as it incorrectly stated that two females were involved in a race, whereas Rana Hamza & Taha Khokhar were the actually involved. Subhan and Abubakar were involved in a tragic incident while waiting on a motorcycle outside a residence. Two vehicles, reportedly engaged in a race, collided with their motorcycle, resulting in the fatality of 13-year-old Subhan and leaving Abubakar in a coma. This incident has led to significant community unrest, with numerous residents protesting and demanding the apprehension of those responsible. Despite these calls, no arrests have been made to date. It has been reported that both individuals allegedly involved are underage and have been observed by residents overspeeding in residential area. #CAOTG #ChampAlertsOnTheGo

@Huk06 This has to be the slowest worst Brazilian midfield on display of the last 30 years, Ancelotti thought his proven counter attacking strategy will work but Brazilians lacked composure in final third barring Vinicius Jr …

The fact that someone is kidnapping girls in core Islamabad is unacceptable. The death of someone who is such at asset to the nation even more so.

Maybe instead of focusing on cutting trees, invest in basic safe city protocols like cameras everywhere concerning public spaces and predictive alerts based on suspicious activity by a sovereign algorithm running live on feeds

پی ٹی آئی کارکن افتخار جٹ جب شدید علیل تھا تو ( جج منظر علی گل ) نے ان کی حاضری معافی کی درخواست مسترد کر دی تھی،

افتخار کو ایمبولینس میں جیل لایا گیا اور وہاں سے انہیں Malik Pervaiz Iqbal Ahc کی گاڑی میں ڈال کر جیل کے اندر لے گئے اور انہیں اٹھا کر اندر کمرہ عدالت لایا گیا،

بے ہوشی کی حالت میں فرش پر لٹایا گیا، 3 گھنٹے بعد جج صاحب آئے تو اسی بے ہوشی کی حالت میں انگوٹھا لگوا کر جانے کی اجازت ملی۔

افتخار جٹ نے کم و بیش ایک سال جیل میں گزارا ۔ ۔۔گندا پانی گندی خوراک کی وجہ سے ہیپاٹایٹس ہو گیا اور اپنے خالق حقیقی سے جا ملا ، ،، یاد رہے Pkli ہسپتال میں زیر علاج تھا 5 لاکھ کا بل بنا تھا ۔۔ہسپتال والے باڈی نہیں دے رہے تھے ، خدیجہ شاہ کو پتا چلا تو فوری ہسپتال پہنچ
کر بل ادا کیا اور باڈی ورثا کے حوالے کی ،

Cruelty toward foreign PhD-qualified faculty in Pakistan by #HEC. Our top minds are being denied even their minimum rightful salaries. Is this how we treat those who dedicate their lives to education and research?Where are you, Prof. @betterpakistan SB? Your voice is needed.

A man earning 40k buys a 2k ticket to the PSL final. Arrives early. Queues two hours. Gets shoved out at the gate by the same institution that took his money.
If you have ever flown PIA, banked in Pakistan, paid an advance at a hospital, or sat through a passport office afternoon, you already know what happened next.
The empty stadiums will not fill until Pakistani institutions decide the paying customer is sovereign. New piece on what really empties a stadium.

Pls repost if you endorse the following statement prepared by civil society activists

*Demanding Justice for Adv. Imaan Mazari Hazir and Adv. Hadi Ali Chattha*

24 April 2026: We, members of the Civil Society of Pakistan, stand in unwavering support and solidarity with renowned lawyers, Adv. Imaan Mazari Hazir and Adv. Hadi Ali Chattha.

We strongly condemn the continued incarceration of both human rights lawyers. Despite urgent Petitions, 90 days have passed without court hearings or due process – after being unjustly sentenced to 17 years imprisonment and fines of Rs.36 million, following a sham trial – in violation of the Constitution, rule of law, fundamental human rights, and dignity of the legal profession.

*Human Rights, Health, Financial, Legal Implications*

Their imprisonment, including solitary confinement, has reached a critical threshold, with serious implications.

*Constitutional Violations, Unjust Punishment:* Their 17-year sentences, with huge fines on trivial charges, violate Pakistan Constitution Articles 4, 9, and 10-A, guaranteeing dignity and security of the person, due process, and right to a fair trial.

*Physical and Psychological Health:* Prolonged incarceration without due process imperils physical and psychological health, necessitating urgent medical intervention. The State’s imprisonment and separation of a married couple serves no purpose other than to inflict maximum emotional distress, violating their dignity and human rights.

*Financial Strangulation:* Imposing excessive fines, the State is effectively stripping them of their ability to sustain themselves upon their eventual release after 17 years.

*Silencing Voices of the Voiceless:* Both are renowned pillars as legal and human rights defenders – voices and bridges between the marginalized and the State.

*Grassroots Activism:* Both are at the forefront of social justice activism: protests, press conferences, media advocacy, conveying the voices of the vulnerable.

*Persecution of Rights Defenders:* Due to their brave work within the judicial system, a systematic strategy to crush the spirit of two young human rights defenders, legal professionals.

*Defending the Defenceless:* Both specialize in defending victims of *enforced disappearances* and false *blasphemy* accusations, taking cases on _pro bono_ basis to ensure legal representation.

*Breach of International Commitments:* UN Special Rapporteurs stated that charges of "cyber terrorism" are a blatant attempt to silence their professional work in Public Interest Litigation and human rights activism. Having ratified the ICCPR _(inter alia)_ Pakistan is thus in direct violation of its binding legal international commitments in this matter.

*Demands*

We call upon the Government of Pakistan and the Judiciary urgently to:
1. *Expedite Judicial Process:* We urge the judiciary to take up their Appeals and hear their cases on *merit*, releasing them on bail without further delay. *The State must not obstruct the swift dispensation of justice.*

2. *Withdraw Fabricated Charges:* The State must withdraw all "cyber terrorism" and "glorification of offense" charges under PECA 2016.

3. *Revoke Fine, Provide Compensation:* (a) Revocation of Rs.36 million fines; (b) Provision of relief and compensation for the physical and psychological trauma of their unjust incarceration.

4. *Comply with UN Obligations:* Ensure full compliance with the ICCPR and all recommendations of the UN Special Rapporteurs in this matter.

*A Plea to the Legal Community*
We commend the legal community for their strong Resolution (15 April 2026). We call upon Bar Associations and lawyers countrywide to also demonstrate solidarity and work jointly to obtain justice for their unjustly convicted, sentenced, imprisoned colleagues.
*If defenders of the law are not safe from misuse of the law, then no citizen is safe.*
