All the physical, psychological trauma aside, I feel more pain about my new laptop (a good teacher of mine gifted that to me after my MPhil Graduation),and the laptop of my wife, along with my Google Pixel phone that was stolen during my abduction
Total 4 phones and 3 laptops 😭

To civil society, journalists, and state officials:

I am writing as a grieving wife, seeking the immediate and lawful release of my husband, Muhammad Saad.

At approximately 3:30 AM this Monday, 12–13 masked men with guns forcibly entered our home and took him away without presenting any warrant or lawful authority. This was an unlawful deprivation of liberty and a direct violation of due process.

Only after legal pressure did personnel within CTD register an FIR on laughable grounds. This post facto action raises serious concerns of mala fide intent and abuse of process, where the law is invoked after the fact to justify an illegal act.

Saad is a journalist, researcher, and Political Science scholar. His work engages with complex subjects, including Balochistan, Kashmir, and international affairs. He has interviewed recognised public figures such as Former Prime Minister Anwar ul Haq Kakar, as well as senior journalists Sohail Warraich and Hamid Mir, and has introduced major international voices to Pakistan’s media space.

More importantly, Saad has worked with state institutions when called upon, contributing to areas aligned with the national interest. He was vetted, cleared, and entrusted by the State. Today, that same individual is being subjected to coercive action by its functionaries.

This contradiction is not incidental but structural.

If individuals who have been vetted and trusted by the state can be subjected to arbitrary detention and retrospective criminalisation, then the question is unavoidable: on what basis does the state expect trust from its citizens?

The actions of certain personnel within CTD constitute a clear overreach of authority. Powers granted for public safety cannot be exercised in violation of constitutional safeguards, including the inviolability of the home and the right to due process. The law does not permit enforced taking into custody followed by procedural reconstruction.

Saad has never engaged with any proscribed material nor been involved in any unlawful activity. His life and work have remained within the bounds of law and intellectual inquiry.

I call upon civil society, the media, and responsible state authorities to take immediate cognisance of this case. Ensure due process. Examine the legality of the initial detention. Hold those responsible accountable. And ensure his safe and immediate release.

This is not just about one individual. It is about law and dignity. It is about giving hope to others who have worked for the state and Pakistan whenever called upon, who have trusted the state against all odds. This youth must be protected and safeguarded within a shrinking demographic that believe in state and that is increasingly disillusioned and disenfranchised.

لاہور سے نوجوان سوشل میڈیا ایکٹوسٹ حافظ سعد ریاض @hafizsaadriaz کو ایک دفعہ پھر اٹھا لیا گیا ہے۔ آج کل وہ ایون پوڈکاسٹ کے ساتھ وابستہ تھے
اب اگرچہ ایف آئی آر درج کی گئی ہے اور الزام بھی لگایا گیا ہے، امید ہے کہ بذریعہ عدالت معاملہ حل ہو جائے گا۔ مگر الزام خاصا حیران کن ہے، القاعدہ سے وابستگی جسے یہاں ٹوئٹر پر ہی سعد نے کئی دفعہ دہشت گرد تنظیم لکھا ہے۔ اور اس لیے بھی کہ ایک عرصے سے سعد کو ریاستی بیانیے سے قریب بلکہ گاہے اس کی وکالت کرتے دیکھا، یہاں اس نے بین الاقوامی امور کے تناظر میں پاکستان اور ریاستی بیانیے کے مخالفین کو خاصا وقت ڈالا ہوا تھا۔ سوال ذہن میں ابھرا ہے کہ کیا اب ریاستی بیانیے کے حامیوں اور انڈیا سے مشرق وسطی تک ٹرولز کو پاکستان اور اسلام کی حمایت میں جواب دینے والوں کو بھی غائب کیا جائے گا؟

@KhawajaMAsif Pakistan is a sovereign country, and its defence minister is 100% right in his argument.
Everyone should join Pakistan.

@CMShehbaz Well done PM Pakistan Shehbaz Sharif

[Shehbaz Sharif @CMShehbaz]

With the greatest humility, I am pleased to announce that the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America, along with their allies, have agreed to an immediate ceasefire everywhere including Lebanon and elsewhere, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.
I warmly welcome the sagacious gesture and extend deepest gratitude to the leadership of both the countries and invite their delegations to Islamabad on Friday, 10th April 2026, to further negotiate for a conclusive agreement to settle all disputes.
Both parties have displayed remarkable wisdom and understanding and have remained constructively engaged in furthering the cause of peace and stability. We earnestly hope, that the ‘Islamabad Talks’ succeed in achieving sustainable peace and wish to share more good news in coming days!

میرے کسی فنکشن میں گفتگو کے دوران کہے گئے ایک جملے کو وائرل کیا جا رہا ہے جس میں یہ کہتا ہوا سنائی دیتا ہوں کہ پاپولریٹی کوئی اتنی بڑی بات نہیں، حسن بھی اتنے پاپولر ہیں جتنے کے یزید، یہ دوسری بات ہے کہ اچھے لفظوں میں کون یاد ہو رہا ہے اور برے لفظوں میں، میں بچوں کو سمجھا رہا تھا کہ حسینی قافلے میں شامل ہونا ہے یزیدی نہیں۔سہیل احمد کی وضاحت آ گئی

The meme war is currently bigger than the actual war between the US and Iran 😂

[Umer Farooq @umer_1990]

The goal of the war seems to have shifted to opening the strait of hormuz, which was open before the war.
