I like BIG COURTS and I cannot lie!

[Khalil Sayegh @KhalilJeries]

With a heavy heart I announce that my 18-year-old younger sister, Lara Sayegh, was killed today on her way from Gaza City to the south. She and my mother were reaching Egypt for safety. My angel collapsed as she was walking on the “safe route” past the Israeli checkpoint, in an area where the Israeli armed forces has long refused to allow any ambulances, cars, or other emergency response to enter. My mother, who was accompanying her from the Catholic church to Rafah, is currently in a coma as a result of the shock. She is in much need of your prayers. Lara is the second immediate family member I lost after my father, who died on December 21 2023 due to the prevention of medical care or ambulances to the church which they take refuge.

In the face of the enemy’s brutality that normalized all sorts of direct and indirect killings, we praise God as our judge and our refuge, even if we don't get much-needed justice on this earth, we will certainly do so in the afterlife when we all stand in front of Christ. Until then I will continue to fight for justice for my family and other victims of this genocide.

The Women in Media Association (WIMA) strongly condemns the defaming of Nadia Saboohi, a journalist from Geo TV, by PTI figure Mashal Yousafzeyi @AkMashal . Posting her personal mobile number on social media is not only unethical but also a violation of her privacy and safety.

[Human Rights Commission of Pakistan @HRCP87]

HRCP welcomes the Lahore High Court's ruling that has declared Section 2(a) of the Child Marriage Restraint Act 1929 unconstitutional on the grounds that the age for marriage should be 18 in the case of girls as well as boys.

This is an important judgement that recognizes the harmful impact of early marriage on girl children, which is liable to violate their right to education, freedom from violence, reproductive rights, employment, freedom of movement, and the right to consensual marriage.

HRCP urges the Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan governments to raise the age for marriage to 18 for both males and females and take concerted measures to enforce the law.

“I was the Prime Minister of Pakistan and I found that ISI officials approaching my parlaimentarians and asking them to vote against me.” This statement never came from ⁦@ImranKhanPTI⁩ it actually came from late Benazir Bhutto Sahiba 20 years ago. Now Khan saying the same.

BREAKING: SOUTH AFRICA FOREIGN MINISTER OFFICIAL STATEMENT

“Israel was not deterred by the decisions of the Court of Justice and the evidence is to continue its war in Rafah

The decision to stop the fighting in Gaza is in the hands of the countries that supply Israel with money and weapons

What concerns us is that Israel is allowed to ignore the ruling of the Court of Justice and not protect civilians

The actions of the Israeli government prove what we submitted to the Court of Justice regarding genocide

We condemn the targeting of journalists in general and Al Jazeera journalists in particular, and this is a criminal act.”

People in Gilgit-Baltistan are facing a severe power crisis, with major cities like Skardu, Hunza, and Gilgit experiencing up to 22-hours of power cuts daily. The shortage of electricity has been an issue for decades, especially during autumn and winter when hydro-power plants can't operate.
This situation is affecting the region's economy, creating obstacles for freelancers and online businesses, and making life more difficult for the local population.
The governments in the region have not been able to establish a sustainable solution for power generation and distribution. The existing hydro-power projects are poorly planned, prone to hazards, and not well-maintained, failing to meet the growing power demand.
Despite abundant natural resources like water, sunlight, and wind, both the federal and regional governments have not effectively utilized them for electricity generation in Gilgit-Baltistan.

Rest in peace, beautiful Sahib! 🌈

The 17-year-old tiger 🐯 has been living a peaceful life under the amazing care of TIERART Wild Animal Sanctuary since July 2020.
His health condition worsened very quickly and to spare him from further suffering, we had to let him go. 💔
