Experts and community representatives discuss personal laws affecting Pakistan’s Hindu, Sikh and Christian minorities at the roundtable “Justice at the Margin: Religious Minorities and Personal Laws”, organised by AGHS Legal Aid Cell with the European Union in Islamabad. The experts said legal reform and implementation was urgently needed to protect minority rights and close personal law gaps. @Asma_Jahangir @xarijalil @syedanidaaly

I hope a #MittiDeBaway Phajja ki jawani spinoff is already in the works. It would be cool to meet his ‘one that got away’. This whole drama is so brilliantly written, all morally messy characters virtue signaling each other. Nothing could be more human.

A brilliant take down of Zionism. “Zionism is finished.”
Piers Morgan: What was it you were smirking about? Moser: I was actually laughing... A recently founded settler colony, Israel, which was founded in living memory... ranting at an Iranian, saying that his country is fake, Iran, one of the most ancient countries in the world.

I will not lose sight of the fact that the root issue is not the judiciary but the constitutional amendments that paved the way for such a justice system. Parliamentarians ought to be answerable for what they have done in the name of 26th and 27th amendment + related laws.

Replying to @MohsinnaqviC42
@MohsinnaqviC42 order for a fresh investigation into Hina Javed’s murder must lead to real accountability, not another formality. Hina Javed’s family has also met @AseefaBZ , and the family’s plea for justice must translate into concrete action. No influence, position or connection should stand in the way of justice. • Demand an independent investigation by a senior, impartial officer under higher-authority oversight. 
• Secure and preserve ALL forensic, medical, digital and circumstantial evidence, CCTV footage, phone records and witness statements. 
• Investigate every person named in the FIR and pursue all leads without favour or interference. 
• Make this a high-priority case for swift, transparent investigation and prosecution based on evidence. 
• Protect Hina’s family from further distress, keep them informed and ensure their concerns are heard. Hina’s family deserves truth, accountability and justice not delays, premature conclusions or a compromised investigation. @Beentherella @mohammedhanif @Benazir_Shah @OmarIffat @RwpPolice @Rporwp @TheCurrentPK @HasnaatMalik @unwomen_pak @TFT_ @NayaDaurKSA @Razarumi @wpc_pak @AmberRShamsi @FatimaRazzaq20 @lok_sujag @muneebqadirmmq @Mehmal @yazdanifauzia @BBCUrdu @MaryamNSharif @SaimaFarooq @GovtofPunjabPK @OfficialDPRPP @shazbkhanzdaGEO @HRCPakistan @nchrofficial @JusticeforHina @alizanaqvee @AaminahQ @MarviSoomro_ @ShahramAzhar @ShaziaKasi @WomenInLawPk @NidaUsmanCh @DrSueTariq @nadyajay @MisbahFahd @rabiaziauk @Mercy_4people @MunizaeJahangir @AsadAToor @AzazSyed @Shehzad89 @ZarrarKhuhro @Shahidmasooddr #RawalpindiPolice #Accountability #RuleOfLaw Justice delayed is justice denied. #JusticeForHinaJaved

Imaan Mazari’s court testimony: “I am a prisoner of conscience who has been at the receiving end of state persecution since at least 2022 for my human rights and legal work. It is deeply painful for me that while my work on human rights has received recognition abroad, even today, my family and I continue to suffer reprisals for the same in my home country. I have not committed any crime and my track record attests to my deeply-held commitment to the rule of law. I also want to categorically state that standing against oppression, injustice and tyranny entails personal cost and suffering. This is a universal truth but history remembers those who resist injustice while those who perpetrate it are condemned for all times to come. We have been tried in a cage, in violation of our basic human dignity and our right to due process and fair trial, but we have complete peace of mind in the knowledge that God exalts who He wills to exalt and disgraces who He wills to disgrace.” #ReleaseImaanAndHadi
