Did not realise how emotionally draining writing this would be for me. There was so much more to say, but words fail editors too sometimes. Thank you @prismdawndotcom for giving me the space.

Last man standing indeed. What a force to reckon with he was. Perhaps time for a woman to take the helm!

Zaffar Abbas has called it a day, after 16 yrs as Editor Dawn newspaper.
In many ways, he was seen as the last man standing at a time when Pak media has capitulated in the face of growing censorship, Dawn is being financially strangulated & the industry is in a meltdown.

Today on #WorldDayAgainstChildLabour, I commend Punjab's approval of a new Child Protection Policy. This is a step towards stronger systems to keep children safe. Proud that @ukinpakistan’s Aawaz II programme supported this effort with @UNICEF_Pakistan. #EndChildLabour 🇵🇰🇬🇧

Two months since X was blocked in Pakistan. From 'no one blocked X' to official acknowledgment of a ban following legal challenges, reasons remain flimsy and beyond the bounds of law. It's not ignorance, the government & PTA are deliberately misleading (disinfo alert!). A thread

I spoke to @ZarrarKhuhro about the way in September 1986, in just a few hours 295C was passed, despite the brave voice of Hamza sb who asked the legislators to send it for review by experts precisely because of the vague terms such as imputation, innuendo, insinuation and indirectly.

In 'exposing liberals and feminists', Muhammad Hijab claims that "feminism wasn't started in Lahore," and he's right.
Saw this while sitting in my office in LUMS on Friday, and it made me chuckle because... /n

"His face was like a flower but I couldn't recognize him. When I kissed his hand, all the fingers were broken."

Those were the words of Mashal Khan's mother when they murdered him. They should haunt every single citizen of this country.

It’s a moment to recognise that #hatespeech #disinformation #propaganda is a potent weapon. when laced with religion it kills with impunity & societal damage is irreversible.
Once again its been used for political gain to incite violence. Let’s be clear it will kill us all.

Dear @POTUS, I hope by now this letter has made it to your desk. It is soundly and thoughtfully written. There is a growing credibility gap between this administration’s stated core values vs actions, having a depressive effect on organizing and support around the upcoming election. It is the hope of so many here and around the world that you reconsider your unwavering military assistance for what is no longer a war, but an illegal and atrocious action exacted on innocent people. It is corrosive for any chance of lasting peace in the region. Your administration is filled with the best of the best. These resignations should give you pause. You are right. Democracy is indeed at stake.
