Videos are out — Islamists raping, murdering, forcing people to leap from high-rises. They’ve even ordered their fighters to wipe out every last Druze. That’s a real genocide. But not a single damn protest. Told you — the whole movement was a fraud from the start.

He learned from Pakistan…
Al-Julani has adopted a new-old strategy: tell the West what they want to hear — speak of peace, prosperity, and a Syria for all Syrians. Meanwhile, he sends his forces to target Alawites and Druze. And when atrocities are committed, he blames ‘rogue factions,’ promises…
First, these young and elderly women were denied a tent in the pouring rain. Then, they were made to sit under the scorching sun, and now, they are being barred entirely. They came for answers but now they are not waiting for answers anymore. They are waiting to see what the…

History is being written in this video: a father, Ghaffar Baloch, and his daughter, Beebow Baloch. both imprisoned by Pakistan’s secret agencies, embrace each other, proud and unbroken, standing tall as the brave soul of Balochistan. #StopBalochextrajudicialkilling…
Each time an opposition leader joined our rallies, wiped tears from our mothers’ faces, condemned the ruling government, and promised reform, we held onto hope even when we knew we were being used for political theatre. But today, I want to ask CM Maryam Nawaz what changed for…
CM Maryam Nawaz is now preparing to deport the same Baloch women she once sat beside in 2021, when she said at D-Chowk: “When you’re out of power, you make grand promises. But when you’re in power, you become powerless. No matter how you got elected, how can these constraints be…
Musharraf was cooperating too…
2/3 In my private conversations in Washington, when I asked people bluntly why the US were still allowing Pakistan to get away with providing a safe haven to terrorist organisations, I was pointed to Pakistan’s alleged cooperation with the US on counter-terror operations, notably…

We condemn the continued repression of peaceful protestors in Islamabad. Blocking access to the sit-in site and denying shelter to families of the forcibly disappeared is a blatant violation of their fundamental rights to assembly and expression. #ReleaseBYCleaders
The Pakistan Foreign Office needs to tell the said terrorist groups they’ve been dismantled, because they social-media-ing away quite happily, and not from the badlands of Afghanistan.
Pakistan’s Foreign Office says that the country has “effectively and comprehensively dismantled” terrorist outfits. The test now is whether other major countries accept that assertion. dawn.com/news/amp/19250…
Enforced Disappearance of Baloch Women At least four cases are recorded in the first half of 2025. These include: • Asma Baloch – Forcibly disappeared by members of state-backed death squads on 6 February around 1 PM from Police Line area of district Khuzdar. She was released…
Shocking! @Cambridge_Uni stopped @TheAcademy nominated student @RoshaanKhattak’s research after serious threats by Pakistan over his work exposing its genocide in occupied #Balochistan No risk assessment, no protection; asked to immediately leave uni accommodation.…
Protest is being led solely by the families of victims whose members—Mahrang Baloch and other BYC leaders—have been arrested. These families are holding a peaceful demonstration demanding the release of the BYC leaders. A video shows a large presence of police, seemingly arrayed…
State repression cannot silence the truth. Families of BYC leaders and victims of enforced disappearances have set up a sit-in camp in Islamabad. They demand accountability, transparency, and freedom for their loved ones. Stand with them. #ReleaseBYCLeaders
That is a crazy way to report on 250 Druze being murdered by Syrian Islamists.

Dr. Mahrang Baloch @MahrangBaloch_, Beebow Baloch, Gulzadi Baloch, Sabghatullah Shah Ji, Beebrg Baloch & Abdul Ghaffar Baloch, Basheer Ahmed are being held by Pakistan’s brutal agencies. No contact with families. Constant torture. Their lives are at risk. The world must act now…
Bangladesh is acting like the Taliban. Now they want to demolish the ancestral home of Satyajit Ray. They have already trashed Tagore's home. The Yunus regime appears very regressive. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/india-te…

Taha is a dissident in exile, and what Pakistan do or tries to do to dissidents abroad is well documented. This is their ultimate resource before actual threats.
