Guy who killed and beheaded a woman: Still free
Guy who rammed his V8 into two women, killing them: Still free
Drunk guy who rammed his civic into a biker and dragged him under the car: Still free
Lawyers who tweeted about human rights: Straight to jail
The message is clear.
According to PTA, this tweet is in violation of Pakistani law
A judge can misrepresent facts of a case, engage in victim blaming, and attribute a horrific crime to completely unrelated factors
Yet, what is objectionable is pointing this out and suggesting those with such a mindset are not fit to be judges
It is a message.
Now it is up to us what message we give as a society.
Anyone who speaks up is either in jail or forcibly disappeared.
This is not about us - it goes to something much deeper, a question we all must ask ourselves: how long will this go on?

Justices seek justice. Singularly tragic. Five judges of IHC file petitions seeking justice from the court. It had to come to this. What shame on the entire judicial dispensation!
Today, I have filed an addendum to my initial complaint lodged yesterday with the Supreme Judicial Council against Chief Justice Sarfaraz Dogar following the alarming development that took place yesterday where the Honourable Judge who was competent authority for harassment cases was arbitrarily and with mala fide altered just a few hours after i had lodged my complaint and a committee had been constituted to inquire into the matter.
Women Lawyers Association strongly condemns sexist & intimidating remarks by Justice Sarfraz Dogar against Advocate Imaan Mazari & the de-notification of Justice Saman Rafat Imtiaz. WLA Calls for accountability, respect, & gender equality within the judiciary. @FariehaAziz
