An investigation that protects the real perpetrators is a facade and fakery. This petition is our resolve AND a warning to those siding with the criminals: if you do not side with the truth, and do not let us dream of justice, we will not let you sleep. #JusticeforHinaJaved #EndFemicideNow
We have attempted to let the investigators do their job and been consistent about this position. HOWEVER, there are serious inconsistencies. All we have asked for is a PROPER INVESTIGATION. Attached is the letter to the NCHR. CNTD in comments #JUSTICEFORHINAJAVED

This video may be distressing to some viewers. The brutal killing of Pakistani media professional Hina Javed has caused uproar over violence against women. Her cousin Sabah Malik tells Al Jazeera that Pakistan faces a femicide emergency.

In the latest #UNDPinPakistan’s Development Advocate Pakistan on the Future of Governance and the Social Contract, @AsmaHyder, Former Dean and Professor at IBA Karachi (@ibakhiofficial), highlights that Pakistan’s development challenge has moved beyond poverty reduction to rebuilding a social contract anchored in fair fiscal rules and accountable service delivery. She notes that while devolution expanded transfers, rising inequality and weak provincial revenue mobilization reveal structural limits within the current federal framework. 📖 Read the full issue: go.undp.org/5eJ #FutureOfGovernance #SocialContract

آج بلوچ قوم نے صرف ایک فرد نہیں کھویا، بلکہ اپنی تاریخ کا ایک زندہ، متحرک اور مزاحمتی باب کھو دیا ہے۔ ماما قدیر بلوچ محض اپنے بیٹے کی تلاش میں نکلنے والے ایک باپ نہیں تھے؛ وہ بلوچستان کے ہر اُس غم زدہ ماں باپ اور ہر اُس خاندان کی اجتماعی آواز تھے جو جبری گمشدگیوں سے لے کر ہر طرح کے ریاستی جبر کا شکار رہے۔ پیرانہ عمری اور کمزور جسم کے باوجود، ہمت اور عزم کے ساتھ انہوں نے سولہ برس تک کوئٹہ اور کراچی کے پریس کلبوں کے سامنے بھوک ہڑتالی کیمپ لگا کر بیٹھے رہے اور مسلسل دنیا کو یہ باور کراتے رہے کہ بلوچ کے ساتھ کس قسم کی ناانصافیاں ہورہی ہیں۔ انہوں نے ہزاروں میل کا پیدل سفر اس لیے کیا تاکہ دنیا مزید لاعلمی اور خاموشی کا سہارا نہ لے سکے۔ان کی جدوجہد ایک اجتماعی آواز تھی۔ انہوں نے ہزاروں بلوچ خاندانوں کے کرب، دکھ اور تکلیف کو اپنی ذات میں سمو کر اسے انصاف اور وقار کے ایک واضح اور مسلسل مطالبے میں ڈھال دیا، ایسا مطالبہ جو انصاف، انسانی وقار، اور بنیادی حقوق کی بحالی سے کم کسی چیز پر راضی نہیں تھا۔ ماما قدیر بلوچ کا انتقال ایک ناقابلِ تلافی نقصان ہے، مگر ان کی جدوجہد یہاں ختم نہیں ہوتی۔ وہ ہر اُس ماں میں زندہ ہیں جو اپنے لاپتہ بیٹے کی راہ دیکھ رہی ہے، ہر اُس بہن میں جو سڑکوں پر احتجاج کر رہی ہے، اور ہر اُس نوجوان میں جو ناانصافی کو مقدر ماننے سے انکار کرتا ہے۔ بلوچ قوم کے لیے ماما قدیر بلوچ ہمیشہ ایک استعارہ اور مزاحمت کی علامت رہیں گے، اور ایک یاد دہانی کہ تاریک ترین حالات میں بھی ایک پیر مرد نے کھٹن حالات اور رکاوٹوں کے باوجود صبر، ہمت اور مستقل مزاجی، کے ساتھ مزاحمت اور جدوجہد کو زندہ رکھا۔

We often fail in weighing words and looking inwardly before pontificating & giving moral lecture. In Mukaddam case the Hon J SC didn't realise the weight of his words, didn't look inwardly. Moralising, sprinkling salt on wounds of victim family was uncalled for, avoidable
Whether asking protocol by judge for his son is not a societal evil of elite society ??
