Pakistan: elected KP chief minister Sohail Afridi has been missing since governor's rule on 11 Oct. The Peshawar High Court has sent petitions on him and other PTI lawmakers to a larger bench. Hiding them is enforced disappearance. Free them. #HumanRights https://t.co/08wz7YdqX2

The radio silence and complete isolation of my father is unbearable.

Let us speak to him. Let us know he’s alive. Have some humanity.

Free Imran Khan.

It is a basic principle of American democracy that the government can’t selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs or what they say. But that’s exactly what the Trump Administration is doing to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.

To understand why this is so appalling, it’s important to know the facts. Congresswoman Omar came to this country with her father when she was 12 years old. Five years later, her father became a naturalized citizen. If Ilhan had been 18 at the time, she would have had to apply for citizenship separately. But because she was 17, she became a naturalized citizen automatically.

Congresswoman Omar went on to graduate from college, work as a community organizer, become the first Somali-American legislator elected to public office in the U.S., and win a seat in Congress. There, she has been one of the Trump Administration’s fiercest critics, which has led the president to repeatedly single her out as someone who he believes does not belong in this country.

Now the Administration is actively trying to deport Congresswoman Omar, seemingly based solely on the unsubstantiated theory that she was actually 18 when her father was naturalized, and therefore is not a citizen. Federal agents have raided her home, confiscated personal records, and seized her phone — all to try and uncover a nonexistent smoking gun from 20 years ago that will somehow make their case.

Think about that. The full weight of the federal government is being brought down on a law-abiding elected official because she has dared to criticize the president. And it’s not the first time this has happened. Under President Trump, the Justice Department has repeatedly gone after those he considers his political enemies — from the Attorney General of New York, to the former head of the FBI, to members of the Federal Reserve.

In those cases, the prosecutions either stalled or were dismissed for having no basis in law, and the same is likely to happen in this case. But not before Congresswoman Omar’s life has been turned upside down, her legal bills have piled up, and she’s been forced to spend time fighting unsubstantiated charges instead of serving the people of Minnesota.

The fact that any president, or any administration, is willing to engage in such transparent efforts to intimidate someone should outrage all Americans, regardless of how they feel about Congresswoman Omar’s political views. Because if this becomes the new normal, there’s no reason to believe it will stop with her — or that future presidents, in either party, won’t do the same.

Now, as Pakistanis have taken to the streets to protest my father’s release, Asim Munir’s regime imposes emergency rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (my father’s political stronghold).

Having failed to secure Balochistan or Azad Kashmir, Munir once again invokes terrorism to justify another military operation in Pashtun lands. Yet again sacrificing lives in an attempt to cling on to power.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s democratic mandate must be restored. My father, our detained family members, PTI representatives and all political prisoners must be released immediately. The people’s right to peaceful protest must be respected.

Pakistan belongs to its people, not its military.

You are so ignorant and racist that you consider her struggle, qualifications, hard work, and dedication to serving her constituency worthless. Why? Because all you can see is her hijab and the way she dresses. Your prejudice is so deep that you cannot recognise a woman’s abilities, achievements, or commitment beyond her appearance. This says everything about your narrow-minded mentality and absolutely nothing about her. You are a disgrace to rational debate.

Navi Pillay es una reconocida jurista sudafricana que ha dedicado su vida a perseguir la impunidad y defender a los débiles frente a los poderosos. Desde su país, desde la ONU y desde la Corte Penal Internacional.

Hoy, ha sido galardonada con el Nobel de la Paz.

Desde el Gobierno de España nos sumamos al reconocimiento, aplaudimos su labor y reiteramos, ahora más que nunca, nuestro apoyo a organismos internacionales que se encargan de velar por la paz.

@SecRubio Because you are all war criminals, should be arrested, prosecuted and jailed.

The UK stands with the International Criminal Court and we stand united with our partners in strongly disagreeing with sanctions imposed on the Court.

The ICC must be permitted to continue its critical work holding perpetrators of the most horrific international crimes to account.

عاصم منیر، بات سیدھی ہے، سرنڈر کرنا پڑے گا، ہر حال میں۔
سرنڈر کیسا؟ جیسے ڈھاکہ کے پلٹن میدان میں کیا تھا۔

تم کہتے ہو 9 مئی سے زیادہ خطرناک انجام ہوگا۔ عاصم منیر، تمہارے پلے کیا ہے؟ جو فیصلہ ایک گھنٹے میں ہو سکتا ہے، تمہاری کور کمانڈرز کی میٹنگ پندرہ گھنٹے سے چل رہی ہے۔

یہ عمران خان کے سامنے ہاتھ جوڑ کر معافی مانگیں گے۔
مذاکرات رات بھی ڈیڈلاک پر پہنچ گئے، یہ اپنی جان نہیں بچا سکے۔

میرا ستر سال کا تجربہ ہے؛ جو کچھ کہہ رہا ہوں، ایسے ہی ہوگا اور عنقریب ہوگا!
قوم خود اگر نہیں دیکھ سکتی، میں قوم کی آنکھوں سے سب دیکھ سکتا ہوں۔

عاصم منیر، نوکری چھوڑنی پڑے گی؛ سرنڈر کرنا پڑے گا۔
دوبارہ الیکشن ہوگا، جس میں فوج کا کوئی لینا دینا نہیں ہوگا۔

پاکستان کے ہر مسئلے کی وجہ تم ہو، اور اب!
تمہارا وقت قریب ہے، اس سے پہلے سنبھل جاؤ۔
اس سے پہلے کہ تمہارے پیروں کے نیچے زمین گرم تانبہ ہو جائے، توبہ کر لو۔
ابھی توبہ کا دروازہ کھلا ہے، قوم کے سامنے سرنڈر کر دو۔
