As we ring in the new year, may it be one that delivers Pakistan from the yoke of military rule, and ushers in an era where people can peacefully protest/speak up for their rights without fear of being disappeared, tortured, and killed. Pakistanis deserve better!
General Kurilla awarded Nishan e Imtiaz (Military) by DG ISPR for his exemplary role in the Palestine Genocide. The same patwaris who barked over "pork and fork" and labeled Imran Khan’s sons Zionist sympathizers are now completely silent. Pure hypocrisy.
As protests grow across Pakistan, the unelected regime of dictator Asim Munir just awarded CENTCOM chief Gen. Kurilla a top honor A reminder: this is a U.S.-backed dictatorship, clinging to power through repression, rigging, corruption — and American political-military support
The Government of Pakistan has conferred the prestigious award of Nishan-e-Imtiaz (Military) upon General Michael E. Kurilla, Commander of United States Central Command (USCENTCOM), in recognition of his exemplary service and pivotal role in advancing enduring military…
Hum log itnay khushaamdi kyun hain?
After nominating Trump for Nobel Peace Prize, the junta has now awarded Nishan-e-Imtiaz (Military) to General Michael E. Kurilla.
Dar wants to talk about “due process” in Aafia’s case. Here’s a lesson for him — the same one that I have given to high school students on Aafia’s case since we clearly need to start with the basics: Aafia and her 3 children were kidnapped in 2003. She was held & tortured at CIA…
To justify Imran Khan’s illegal and unconstitutional incarceration, Ishaq Dar defends the arrest and conviction of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui , despite the lack of a fair trial. This is exactly why I always say: “PML-N is the worst thing that has happened to Pakistan.”
Not only did @MIshaqDar50 pretend that due process exists in Pakistan in his response to a question about @ImranKhanPTI, he took the opportunity to betray Aafia Siddiqui as well. And this took place just hours after Aafia's sister, @drfowzia, met with @CMShehbaz @mariakari1414
Ishaq Dar just spoke at the @AtlanticCouncil where he justified Aafia Siddiqui’s decades long brutal imprisonment as following “due process” to justify his government’s illegal incarceration of Imran Khan. Disgusting from 🇵🇰 govt. @Aafiamovement @CliveSSmith @SenatorMushtaq

WATCH NOW | Pakistani Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister @MIshaqDar50 joins @dandeluce for an #ACFrontPage conversation on India-Pakistan tensions, regional stability, and the future of US-Pakistan relations. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
The civilized world strongly rejects your statement @SecRubio. Your reckless words only serve Israeli propaganda and set back peace. It is a slap in the face to the Palestinian victims of Israel's U.S.- backed genocide.
The United States strongly rejects @EmmanuelMacron’s plan to recognize a Palestinian state at the @UN general assembly. This reckless decision only serves Hamas propaganda and sets back peace. It is a slap in the face to the victims of October 7th.
France recognizing a Palestinian state is encouraging. Hopefully, other European nations will follow suit. Let the U.S. face increasing isolation for its unwavering and immoral support of Israel. Who will Pakistan recognize: Israel or Palestine? politico.eu/article/france…
People who are outraged by Sulaiman and Kasim meeting pro-Israel congressional reps are the same people who feel no outrage when their government nominates Trump (genocide-enabler) for a peace prize. Also, meeting pro-Israel reps like Joe Wilson on the House Foreign Affairs…
It's funny that those expressing outrage over the Khan boys allegedly eating pork—a personal choice that harms no one—remain completely silent about the Pakistani government/military's far graver actions, such as extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances, and torture. .
So glad US Congress members are hearing directly from the Khan boys regarding their father's illegal incarceration. Let's hope these reps use all diplomatic tools at their disposal to call for IK's release & an end to U.S. support for fascism in the country.
Sulaiman and Kasim Khan meet up with Congressman Andy Harris and Congressman Ted Lieu to speak about the fascist regime in Pakistan holding their dad in prison for 2 years.
Precisely.
The role of intellectuals is to challenge authority, not serve it.
79 people shot in Gaza over the weekend: There is no excuse for starving people and then opening fire on civilians desperately lining up for food. None. Congress must not give Netanyahu another penny of unconditional military aid.
Great to see @Kasim_Khan_1999 and Sulaiman in the U.S.! Excited for their meetings with administration officials—looking forward to the impact they'll make!
Welcome to California, my friends. I loved hanging out with you today. Sulaiman and @Kasim_Khan_1999, you must stay strong. There are millions of people around the world who are sick of political prosecutions. You are not alone. #freeimrankhan
Which leaders is the Lemkin Institute referring to? The world is only made of impotent, gutless cowards (especially those in the Muslim/Arab world) who would rather see every last Palestinian starve than challenge the genocidal duo @netanyahu and @realDonaldTrump
The @LemkinInstitute is calling on every leader in the world to step in immediately with measures that ensure food and water gets into Gaza right now. No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits. GET FOOD AND WATER INTO GAZA NOW. IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU…
Hero!
جب اللہ تعالیٰ نے آپ کو پر دئے ہیں تو آپ کیوں رینگتے ہیں وقت آچکا ہے کہ پاکستانی عوام اس نظام پر مسلط بدمعاشوں کے خلاف کھڑی ہو جائے ۔ ثابت کرو کہ آپ انسان ہو کیڑے مکوڑے نہیں۔
The Pakistani state, by wrongfully imprisoning Dr. Yasmin Rashid, is not humiliating her—it is humiliating itself before the world
A cancer-stricken woman. A mother. A sister. A patriot. Dr. Yasmin Rashid is being humiliated by the state — while criminals roam free. This isn’t justice. It’s vengeance. Time doesn’t stay the same. We will remember. #خان_کی_پُکار_پر_انقلاب #freeallpoliticalprisoners
