We are proud to announce Ehsan Ali, Chairman of the Awami Action Committee Gilgit-Baltistan (AAC-GB), and a leading comrade of the Inqalabi Communist Party (RCP) Pakistan has been freed from jail! Long live international solidarity!

The repression in Gilgit-Baltistan continues. Since Sunday’s three more supports of the Awami Action Committee (AAC) have been arrested in Hunza, Tehseen Javed, Suhail, and Fazal were subject to police raids following peaceful protests.
Ehsan Ali and key leaders of the AAC still remain behind bars in torturous conditions.
The AAC has spent ten years on the front lines, fighting for the people’s right to bread, health, education, and democracy.
We demand an end to this brutal crackdown! Join the movement for justice. Free Ehsan Ali! Hands off the AAC!
One of the most common questions we are asked is: ‘Why don’t you join the other far-left organisations to make one big revolutionary party? Isn’t it sectarian of you not to do so?’ Here, Daniel Morley explains the real, scientific meaning of sectarianism.

PAKISTAN: Seven members of the Gilgit-Baltistan Awami Action Committee (AAC) have been arbitrarily detained for over 45 days under Pakistan’s anti-terrorism law, solely for peacefully exercising their rights to assembly and expression. The charges stem from allegations that 13 AAC members made “anti-state” speeches during an Iftar dinner on 8 March and made plans to arrange a protest, all rights guaranteed under international human rights law.
Among those detained is 70-year-old lawyer and AAC chairperson Ehsan Ali, whose continued detention has raised grave concerns regarding his right to life and due process. Despite applications filed by his lawyers requesting hospitalization, Ehsan was denied appropriate medical care until his condition drastically worsened. He was transferred to the hospital only after developing pneumonia and losing consciousness while in police custody. Ehsan has been under police guard at District Head quarter Hospital Gilgit along with two other AAC activists, Ibrar Bahoro and Hasnain Ramal. His lawyers have raised concerns that given his underlying heart condition and current health, the care being provided at the current medical facility is inadequate.
In addition, other ACC activists named in the case have been forced to curtail their right to freedom of movement, association, peaceful assembly and freedom of expression out of fear of arrest and remain unable to campaign for the upcoming elections in Gilgit-Baltistan on 7 June 2026.
Amnesty International calls on the Pakistani authorities to immediately release all detained AAC activists and drop all charges against them related to their peaceful activism. Pending release, the authorities must ensure that immediate access to adequate healthcare is provided to all detainees. Arbitrary detentions of ACC members must not be used to curtail the rights guaranteed under international human rights law, including in the lead up to, during and after the elections in Gilgit-Baltistan.

@choeshow@DrKarlynB Jonathan, why did you look like such shit today? Do most successful journalists dress in dirty sweatpants and slides?
You yelled "I'm rich" at me today, but you looked like you were covered in dog shit. I don't understand.
Among the arrested are: Ehsan Ali (chairman), Waheed Hassan (media), Mehboob Wali, Ashgar Shah (youth wing), Masood Ul. Three of them are also members of @rcipakistan Inqalab Communist Party. There will be mass protests today, Friday.
