Another case shows a man with Pakistani roots caught trying to harm a young girl in Britain. Pakistan must face this truth. The country needs to teach respect for girls from a young age. 1/3

The state did not fail by accident. It was designed this way. A small group captured politics, wrote laws for themselves, and extracted wealth from the rest. That is not a conspiracy theory. That is the Nobel Prize-winning work of Acemoglu and Robinson. 2/2
In 1970, #SouthKorea & #Pakistan had almost the same per capita income. Today, South Korea is at $40,000 & Pakistan is at $1,700. Same era, different institutions. One built a system for its people. The other built a system for its power. 1/2
This is how it always works in our country. The small visible end of the chain gets arrested & paraded. People with access, with institutional cover, with the right connections, remain unnamed. The state calls it a success. I call it half a job done and a full story buried. 2/2
I want to talk about the hospitals. The placenta being processed in that house came from hospitals in #Peshawar, #Rawalpindi, & #Lahore. That means someone inside those hospitals was collecting & handing it over. Nobody is talking about the source. 1/2

Every day, Ahmadis live with this fear while the state stays silent. That silence gives extremists more confidence. I want our nation to be known for justice, not public humiliation in the name of religion. Pakistan must choose law over mob rule. #AhmadiRights 2/2
A #Sunni mob in #Sargodha demolished a 118-year-old #Ahmadi place of worship. A building can be rebuilt, but the message is far deeper. When mobs decide faith, no citizen is truly safe. #Pakistan deserves laws that protect every life instead of rewarding fear. 1/2

Senate Republicans blocked Democrats' bid to rein in Trump's Iran war powers. The President now has virtually unchecked authority over military engagement with Tehran. A historic check on Congress just failed.

Trump kicked off the Great American State Fair on the National Mall marking America's 250th birthday. Fireworks, concerts & patriotic pageantry, but.. is this celebrating the country or the president? https://t.co/QYDqTop3wU
To vote in Pakistan as an Ahmadi, one must sign a declaration denouncing the founder of their own faith. Most boycott elections entirely rather than accept a state-mandated identity. A 2025 court ruling also stripped them of the right to inherit property. #AhmadiPersecution 2/3
I want people to understand what the #Ahmadi community faces in #Pakistan. They are constitutionally declared non-Muslim. They cannot call their place of worship a mosque. They cannot say the call to prayer. They cannot even register to vote as #Muslims. 1/2

The most disturbing line in the data is this. Not one accused from the 2025 cases has been convicted. Not one. Pakistan has a working intelligence apparatus, a functioning court system, and a parliament. It chooses to protect perpetrators over children. This is deliberate! 2/2
Nine children are abused every single day in #Pakistan. That is the headline! Over 3,630 cases. An 8 percent rise. Gender-based violence up 34 percent. 1,546 murders, 877 rapes... in a single year. This state tracks the numbers and acts on none of them. 1/2 @Nasir_Amany
But I also cannot look away from what this moment means. In #Pakistan, children are not safe running simple errands in their neighborhoods. This state has never built the kind of accountability that makes a predator afraid. We keep paying that price in children's lives. 2/2
His family spent the night not knowing. They found him in a washroom. I cannot imagine what that moment felt like, & I do not want to. This is not a story from a distant place. This is a street in our own country. 2/3
NATO Secretary Rutte praises Trump's Iran strategy, saying he's doing exactly what's needed to degrade Tehran's nuclear capability and keep the alliance safe. Global tensions still high. https://t.co/QXwKOoSCEf
IAEA chief says Iran nuclear inspections WILL happen—but timing is "not essential." As US-Iran deal talks continue, the world waits to see if this fragile agreement holds together. https://t.co/q2IR9HygjN
A nation grows when it learns from its brightest minds, not when it reduces them to labels. Pakistan cannot fully benefit from its scientific legacy while an Ahmadi Nobel laureate is remembered for his faith more than his achievements. #AhmadiRights 2/2
Abdus Salam helped place #Pakistan on the world map of science. Yet decades later, many people know he was #Ahmadi to target him and insult him. They know little about the work that earned him a #NobelPrize. 1/2
@GillMarwan@ch_zahoorahmed
When innocence is confirmed only after months of suffering, this state should ask what failed at the start. Real justice is not only about correcting mistakes. Pakistan must also reduce the chances of those mistakes happening in the first place. 2/2
A court found insufficient evidence and freed a blind #Christian man after nearly 10 months in prison. That decision deserves respect. But it also highlights how easily vulnerable people can become trapped in serious legal battles in #Pakistan. 1/2
