In a low-income neighbourhood of Pakistan’s largest city, 16 seemingly healthy children & three adults died suddenly within days of each other last month.
Explaining their mysterious deaths has become part of a heated tug of war, & there are two competing theories. 🧵(1/11)

Mahmoud is the kindest person I know and has been subjected to a vicious & racist campaign by campus zionists. Please sign this letter demanding his immediate release + that Columbia reverse its protocol permitting ICE on campus without a warrant.

Just to be clear, you are defending a Heil Hitler salute that was performed and repeated for emphasis and clarity.
People can officially stop listening to you as any sort of reputable source of information now. You work for them. Thank you for making that crystal clear to all.

Have to agree with @IttefaqM here, in all my years of reporting on climate justice in Pakistan for local and international outlets 2005 to 2023, I’ve only seen an increase in climate change general awareness & increase in local reporting that looks at the big picture & nuance.
Hi @farasG
I read your piece (https://t.co/oFQM2FtxIZ) in @AJR_English, and the premise of the article couldn't be more off. Hear me out—the title is both misleading and factually incorrect. Pakistani media is not ignoring climate change.
#Pakistan: CPJ expresses grave alarm over reports of the abduction of journalist Matiullah Jan (@Matiullahjan919) in the capital Islamabad following his coverage of protests by supporters of imprisoned former Prime Minister Imran Khan. Authorities must ensure Jan's safety and immediate release.
Journalist Saqib Bashir (@saqibbashir156), who was abducted alongside Jan, has since been released. We call for a swift and impartial investigation into the incident and accountability for all perpetrators.
Complete impunity persists for Jan's previous abduction in 2020:

Earlier today, we filed a writ petition in the public interest at the Islamabad High Court, challenging the government’s failure to mitigate Pakistan's catastrophic air pollution crisis at its source which has robbed millions of their right to breathe & live.

My response to the racism & incitement on Monday, to a CNN pro-Trump panelist telling me: “I hope your beeper doesn’t go off," because I said I supported Palestinian rights.
It was great to speak at The U.S. Military Academy at West Point about the history of the conflict, the current war on Gaza, and the need for a ceasefire and an end to the occupation.
