This isn't about civil liberties and freedoms. Few in thus country have them, if any. This is about an authoritarian state and the murderous terrorist cult they propped up for 20 years, no judicial system is equipped to deal with them

The state has been killing its own youth for decades. The only new thing is that its targeting not just civilians but an orgazation who was founded on blasphemy killing. Well new-ish thing, they also eventually killed Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, the sectarian murderers

The same brutality HAS been used in the rest of the country, 5,000 to 7,000 enforced disappearances, extra judicial killings, mass displacements, mass surveillance. What exactly is about to change? Other than the targets this time being a murderous mob instead of just civilians

I went to cover Shama and Shahzad Masihs horrific burning in Kasur. There was an urs for a pre-partition blasphemy murderer days earlier, and the police told us most of the small village participated, only five were found guilty. So what was that about collective punishment again

In short this country belongs to the blasphemy brigade, every law enacted since the 70s has made sure of it, and the majority of this country is Barelvi, the custodians of blasphemy killings. The army can't shoot millions, nor do they want to, they've Barelvis in their ranks too

Does anybody else refuses to ever attend a phone call, unless you think its a life or death situation. Screw that even if it IS a life or death situation, just message first? Let me prepare for the conversation if at all necessary? I can't just pick up a phone and start talking

Technically Lal Masjid was built and administrated by the state too. So this doesn't quite solve the extremism problem unless there's continued oversight over every one of them, and the Auqaf Department is clearly understaffed for that

Last minute I know, but anyone interested in buying a couple of tickets for the Kaavish concert tonight? A friend got them but she can't go anymore, so selling them on

I am so not a morning person, I don't have breakfast, I don't make any sense and I often try to get in the wrong car

It's me. I'll forget to eat an entire day then late at night I'll have to force myself, I blame it on the years of opioid overuse courtesy of the American unhealth care system, lost 20kgs while on those, became skeletal ☠️

I hope the Qataris can make the first decent cafe at Lahore airport 🥲

Does Pakistan even have a foreign policy other than the army chief taking tours and vacations around the world

Love me some cat meme shirts

Talk about misinformation. The Bondi Beach attackers were Indian, the BBC reported that

This is brillian, Anoushka Shankar features on sitar in literally every single track of the new Gorillaz album. Also helps that Black Thought is dropping bars on a couple of those tracks youtu.be/fQE0FnpfqQo?si… via YouTube
