For the past two and a half years, the UK government has armed a genocide as it was livestreamed around the world.

Now, some politicians are pretending they have always been against the crimes they enabled.

Too little, too late. Your complicity will never, ever be forgotten.

@JDVance I think you should concentrate on your own country and the Epstein files for now.

This was a tragedy. The police have been condemned for their part in it. The victim's father asked that it should not be used to promote hate, racism or any cause.
You, sir, are a rabble-rousing mangleweasel. Literally so, as the inflammatory words of you and others caused a violent riot.

You are privileged @CMShehbaz bec your children got speedy justice & xld spend Eid with family. My children, @ImaanZHazir & @AdvHadiali have been illegally incarcerated for 127 days now thru a sham trial & illegal conviction with not even a veneer of due process. IHC delib refused to give early hearing for suspension of sentence. For my children it's only been abt vengeance never abt justice. #ReleaseImaanAndHadi

Despite repeated requests by @ImaanZHazir & @AdvHadiali’s lawyers to urgently hear & decide their suspension of sentence application, IHC CJ Dogar has not fixed the matter. CJ Dogar’s bias ag Imaan - she has 2 petitions against him, one 4 harassment & one before SJC - has been crystal clear. In view of CJ Dogar's bias we have continuously insisted he shd not have anything to do with Imaan & Hadi’s cases on both judicial & administrative sides. Now bec of IHC’s conduct, we are left with no option but to directly approach SCP 4 suspension of sentence apps.

The Iran–U.S. Ceasefire terms are clear and explicit: the U.S. must choose—ceasefire or continued war via Israel. It cannot have both.

The world sees the massacres in Lebanon. The ball is in the U.S. court, and the world is watching whether it will act on its commitments.

@OmarIffat @AsadAToor You need to appeal.

So the final verdict from session court of Meesha Shafi vs Ali Zafar defamation case came out.I was not only a primary character witness, I knew both families and both children very closely. If I took a side, it was with 100% certainty and belief.

For me, Meesha Shafi’s issue ended the day every girl who supported her — including me — was dragged into criminal cases. I was told I could face three years in prison. And if that happens, I will go and serve those three years, because I do not step back from my truth — and anyone who knows me, knows this.

People were silenced, pressured, bought, and scared. The entire support system was broken. On top of that, we were accused of running a foreign agenda, of being paid huge amounts in dollars. I said it then, and I say it again — prove it in court. I am ready to open all my bank accounts, everything.

The truth is, every woman knows that at some point in her life, she has been physically harassed. Sometimes in a room full of people, someone touches you in a way you cannot even process, and you cannot even speak. We have all gone through this — as children, as young women, and even today.

So when a star of this magnitude, who needed no fame, who comes from a respected family, speaks up — is it for fame? Is it some personal enmity? What did she gain from this case? What did we gain except abuse, lies, and humiliation?

We did not step back because we knew that if we lost this case, then every woman who suffers this every day would lose with us. And from that day on, no woman in this country would ever be believed. The entire Lahore, the entire industry knows the truth.

This is not Meesha Shafi’s loss, or Saba Hameed’s, or Iffat Omar’s. And this five million penalty — we can pay it right now. It’s not about that.

It’s about the fact that women will continue to be touched inappropriately, even when married, even by men who are “friends” of their husbands. We all know this is the reality of a man’s world.

From today onwards, even I will not believe a woman in Pakistan — because surely, the man must be right.

And my honorable courts, thank you for proving this.

It’s a man’s world. Goodbye.

PESHAWAR: Afghan nationals have been approaching the Peshawar High Court in large numbers as law enforcement agencies accelerate the government’s illegal foreigners repatriation plan (IFRP). The court has been hearing various petitions, including bail pleas of Afghans arrested for staying in Pakistan without valid documentation under Section 14 of the Foreigners Act.

The high court has largely denied relief to those holding Afghan Citizen Cards (ACC) or Proof of Registration (PoR) cards, which are no longer recognized as valid for residence. Many of these individuals have no other legal grounds to secure bail.

A minor Hindu girl at the centre of an alleged abduction and forced marriage case in Sindh has told a local court that she married of her own free will, even as her family insists she is underage and was coerced — leaving the matter entangled in legal and factual complexities.

This is the moment Israeli forces hand over a small Palestinian child to the Red Cross

The Israelis had reportedly tortured him by extinguishing cigarettes (!) on his tiny body in front of his father in order to extract confessions

Israel is doing this with American tax money
