BUITEMS came out in solidarity with its teachers and staff members. The participants chanted slogans against corruption, intimidation of faculty and release of Sohail Anwar & Akram Baloch. We are thankful to all stud organisations for standing with their teachers.

My friend Dr Adnan Al-Bursh was beaten to death by the Israeli prison guards.

The spokesperson for the Baloch Yakjehti Committee has expressed deep concern over the fencing of Gwadar, labeling it a colonial project aimed at displacing indigenous populations from their ancestral lands. The spokesperson further said that soon protests and a resistance…

Consistently raising voice for Palestinians doesn’t come without a cost; platforms like Twitter often limit the reach. Salute to those I know who tirelessly work on Twitter for this cause. Here are a few I know: Zarrar Khuhro, Nida Kirmani, Zebunnisa Burki, Natasha, Ushna Shah. Follow…

In 2002, Edward Said gave a lecture at UCLA. There's a moment near the end which I've always loved. Said gets frustrated with a heckler and says 'I don't feel like answering the question for you, you lout.' As uniformed louts swarm the campus, don't answer their questions.

Spoke to the protest rally arranged by BUITEMS Faculty and student organisations against the illegal detention of Sohail Anwar & Akram Baloch on fabricated charges by police. We demand immediate release of faculty members and fair inquiry. We can’t be silenced. Nida Kirmani

This boy lost his life today in a landmine blast in Duki, Balochistan, while 18 others were injured.
As always, Pashtun blood remains cheapest in this land of pure.

Never have I felt more heavier at heart being a teacher and seeing my friends, my colleagues in handcuffs. Never have I felt so hopeful, witnessing teachers and students standing up against injustice.
Long live resistance

Students at GCU, Lahore, are banned from protesting against the scheduled concert featuring American singers, funded by the American Embassy. Shockingly, their student cards have been forcefully confiscated by GC security. This suppression of student voices is unacceptable.

مشکے تنک کے لوگ گزشتہ ایک مہینے سے ریاستی جبر اور فوجی مظالم کا سامنا کرکے ایک اذیت ناک زندگی گزارنے پر مجبور ہیں ۔

The FC in Balochistan are thugs employed by a colonial state.

One of the dumbest takes is 'why do people criticise the West when they're desperate to go there?!' People from the Global South migrate because colonialism, which never ended, has completely f-ed the world. They have every right to go wherever they want to secure a better life.

If someone asks, 'do you support Hamas?', turn the question around & ask, 'do you support genocide?'. Racist Islamophobes don't deserve answers.

Not surprising that a nation-state created through genocide is now arresting & beating up those who are protesting genocide.

There are academics on here who write about Islam, Muslims, who have been completely silent and who now have critiques of student protestors and comments about where attention is being paid. We see you.
