In a presser HRCP said it sent a team to Adiala Jail to meet PTI prisoners, and found that Shah Mahmood Qureshi and Shehryar Afridi were being denied facilities given to prisoners, are being kept in isolation, which is against the jail manual, and denied visitations.

How are our television dramas manipulating the infamous phrase ‘Aurat hi aurat ki dushman hai’? @risham_waseem gives a breakdown of what #patriarchy is, how it operates regardless of one’s gender and how we can challenge the system.
