Uniformed armed personnel in green-plated SUVs allegedly rammed our vehicle on Murree Road today while driving at high speed. When we confronted them, around 15 uniformed men carrying AK-47s attempted to take our car keys and snatched our phones as we tried to film the incident.

When we said let’s call the police, they said we are the police as can be heard in the video.

They fled the scene once other vehicles began stopping and noticing what was happening.

This is deeply alarming. No citizen should face intimidation or violence from those meant to enforce the law.

If this is not abuse of authority, what is?

We demand accountability and a transparent inquiry. Citizens cannot be treated this way.

Deeply saddened and shocked to hear about the Air India flight bound for London that crashed just minutes after taking off from Ahmedabad. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by this tragedy.

Close to *200,000* Afghans have been forced out of Pakistan in the past 6 weeks, part of a mass deportation campaign run by the Govt

Many were born in Pakistan, their families having fled decades ago, & have never even been to Afghanistan

Clip from our report, by the border ⬇️

Critics of the Taliban - like Nadia, jailed for protesting for women's rights - risk being caught up in the deportations

They have valid visas but have to renew them each month & can be detained whilst waiting for the extension

But the West no longer prioritising Afg refugees

Just back from a visit to the Line of Control & Pakistani Administered Kashmir

Met the parents of a young man killed in his home by Indian shelling, just 2 weeks after his wedding

And an elderly retired soldier, so incensed he was ready to volunteer to serve again

Just out of a Pakistani military briefing in Rawalpindi

Seems clear the army is planning a significant strike on India - in response to India’s earlier missile / drone attacks

“They want to set a new norm,” the Army Spox told me, “will we allow this happen?”

Back in London from Pakistan

Report coming soon on the country’s mass deportation drive targeting Afghan refugees

Around 150,000 pushed to leave Pakistan in the past month - many were born in the country and have lived their whole lives there

Speaking to Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khwaja Asif amidst threat of war:

He said any Indian strike will be responded to with “full force”

Denies involvement in Kashmir attack, saying figures like Hafiz Saeed - leader of militant group Lashkar e Taiba - are “part of our past”
