A must-read explainer from my colleague @samannf

My father has been under arrest for 845 days. For the past six weeks, he has been kept in solitary confinement in a death cell with zero transparency. His sisters have been denied every visit, even with clear court orders allowing access. There have been no phone calls, no meetings and no proof of life. Me and my brother have had no contact with our father. This absolute blackout is not a security protocol. It is a deliberate attempt to hide his condition and prevent our family from knowing whether he is safe. Let it be clear: the Pakistani government and its handlers will be held fully accountable legally, morally and internationally for my father’s safety and for every consequence of this inhumane isolation. I call on the international community, global human rights organisations and every democratic voice to intervene urgently. Demand proof of life, enforce court ordered access, end this inhumane isolation and call for the release of Pakistan’s most popular political leader who is being held solely for political reasons.

This girl in the uk copied the “calling churches and mosques for baby formula experiment” I’ll let you figure out how it went

'It's not a time for us to be ashamed of who we are.' @TheGreenParty co-deputy leader @MothinAli spoke at #HyphenFestival2025 about facing extra press scrutiny as a Muslim politician, and why British Muslims should be proud of their contributions to society.

#HyphenFestival2025 continues with a panel discussion on Muslim contributions to the world of sport. Rugby player Zainab Alema, football referee @jj_Roble, founder of the Sunnah Sports Academy Trust Nalette Tucker and @TheMSF's Sahiba Majeed share their experiences and insights with Hyphen reporter @samannf.

I’m looking to speak to Muslim women who have faced public harassment on the #TFL tube. I’d like to hear your experiences for a @onlinehyphen story.🚇 My DM’s are open or you can email me at Nylah.salam@hyphenonline.com. #JournoRequest
