Greta Thunberg in Greece: I will never comprehend how humans can be so evil. That you would deliberately starve millions of people living trapped under an illegal siege as a continuation of decades of oppression and apartheid.

Just filled with RAGE after seeing this video. Traumatic to even see. This place is hell not just for women but for little girls. We live in a sick society.

Al Jazeera has published the names of every journalist killed since Oct 7th. 231 Palestinian journalists have been slaughtered in Gaza. A whole generation of reporters wiped out while many of their colleagues in the West simply shrugged.

“If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped.” Twelve international activists, including Greta Thunberg, recorded videos before being kidnapped by Israeli forces in international waters while attempting to deliver aid to Gaza as part of a Freedom Flotilla.

A renowned Ahmadi physician, Dr Sheikh Mahmood Ahmad is shot dead in Sargodha. Studied in UK, decided to serve his country & was working at Sadiq Hospital in Sargodha since 2002. The blood of an Ahmadi is cheaper in this land & the state itself has turned a blind eye. Tragic !

These images from Gaza today are beyond the most apocalyptic of imaginations. There are no buildings standing but the rubble keeps being bombed because among the rubble human beings are still moving and falling, with nowhere to go

India has gone completely rogue. It has escalated the conflict by attacking cities across Pakistan, including Islamabad, Pindi, & Lahore. It's increasingly clear that Hindutva ideology poses an existential threat to the region. Pakistan reserves the right to protect its people.

One thing is clear these past few weeks - the Indian rightwing has completely swamped all parts of the internet. A pandemic of underemployed young men deluded by nationalist fantasies.

Hope better sense prevails and peace can be maintained in the region. A war between two neighbouring countries would be disastrous! Other countries in the region and beyond should intervene and prevent this from escalation especially given the Modi regime’s war mongering.

I met @SammiBaluch over a decade ago, as her and Mehlab were looking for their father. It’s stunning to witness her rise as a political leader, her strength and beauty. She’s now arrested by a cowardly, violent state, and needs our support. Please share. #FreeBalochWomen

The State’s attitude makes it clear - peaceful protesters like Dr Mahrang, peaceful worshippers like Ahmedis praying… these are treated like the enemy but TLP goons serving as death squads are just fine, TTP are good/bad bhai depending on the season.

Been researching this area on the side for the last five years. At one point I wanted to change my PhD project to this but decided to delay it and that was the best decision. Shared some of the work this past Sunday with Dawn EoS. #first100pk #womenlawyers #HappyWomensDay
