Only 17% of Pakistani women reported workplace harassment to managers, according to our Dawn poll. Most said they wouldn't be believed; others didn't report harassment because of powerful perpetrators. My stories on women calling out sexual harassment https://t.co/h2SKBs5I1W

I miss the days when people were opposed to war and war-mongering.

“This is the biggest cohort of pediatric amputees in history,” a reconstructive surgeon who specializes in pediatric trauma said, of the record number of children who have been injured in the war in Gaza. https://t.co/rnvjztU2Gl

CPJ is grateful for the journalists and media leaders who stood together earlier today for a moment of silence and solidarity with journalists in Gaza at #ijf24 @journalismfest

“The Palestinian people have not lost their humanity. You wouldn’t find people who long for a normal life, like our people on Gaza.”The president of the UN Security Council was moved to tears during a speech by the Palestinian ambassador.

@StormFiberPK I have persistently complained about your terrible service-past 2 days- only to receive the same automated messages that you need to scrap. If your technical teams are weak, service useless and customer service non/existent, why bother being operational?

“Nothing is a substitute for a ceasefire. Delivering aid under bombardment does not stop the destruction... We cannot save people from hunger only then to bomb them to death.”

Queen Rania spoke with me about Jordan airdropping aid into Gaza, the humanitarian crisis, and more.

“If I speak, they will kill me, to remain silent is to die” @AsadAToor decided to speak and many others opted silence. Toor is in prison but he is alive. Those who remained silent are dead. #JournalismIsNotACrime @RSF_inter ⁦@CPJAsia⁩ https://t.co/qdrEGdm5Df

Unsung heroes ‘overlooked’ Johnson Tariq was the one who gave refuge to the woman in his shop when the angry mob outside was crying to chop her into pieces. He rescued the woman without the help of police for a long time. #WeldoneJohnsonTariq https://t.co/4jEFWBw3Zv

possible. What Asad is going through today is nothing new for him to the extent that he has already faced strategic litigation against public participation. The Constitutional Courts need to clearly rule on safeguards against SLAPP. Their failure or refusal to do so will only

[Imaan Zainab Mazari-Hazir @ImaanZHazir]

Asad Toor’s case has far reaching ramifications for the profession of journalism in Pakistan, which has in any case consistently been under attack. Journalists are taken off air; harassed and subjected to surveillance; forcibly disappeared; tortured; and persecuted in every way

[CPJ Asia @CPJAsia]

“We are appalled by the arrest of Pakistani journalist Asad Ali Toor in apparent violation of an order by the Islamabad High Court,” said CPJ Program Director Carlos Martinez de la Serna (@cmdelaserna).

A group of more than 50 journalists with @BBCNews @SkyNews @CNN @Channel4News and others have sent an open letter to the embassies of Israel and Egypt calling for “free and unfettered access” to Gaza for foreign media. https://t.co/bT1FTuxPeI

“I have never… seen a place… so bombarded for such a long time with such a trapped population without any escape. People are traumatized beyond belief.” Jan @NRC_Egeland of @NRC_Norway is in Gaza for the first time since Oct 7. “I’m pretty shaken, actually, from what I saw.”

[Salahuddin Ahmed @SalAhmedPK]

FIA has power to arrest for specific offences. Criticising judges or even contempt NOT one of them. Letting FIA do so chills free speech & inserts govt into matters of exclusive judicial discretion.@AsadAToor arrest not only bad for journalism but makes judiciary look terrible!
