Washuk, Balochistan: 2 Fitna al Hindustan BLF terrorists were eliminated by Pakistani security forces.
This article presents a dangerously selective, one-sided, and misleading interpretation of international law. We firmly reject it. Pakistan has already committed serious violations of international humanitarian law. On 16 March 2026, the Pakistan Air Force carried out an airstrike on the Omid Addiction Treatment Hospital in Kabul — a civilian medical facility — killing between 400 to 408 people, the vast majority of them patients. This attack on a hospital is a clear war crime. Under international law, this article fails completely: Article 18 and 19 of the Fourth Geneva Convention and Article 12 of Additional Protocol I strictly protect hospitals and medical facilities. Attacking them is prohibited. Rome Statute Article 8(2)(b)(ix) classifies intentionally directing attacks against hospitals as a war crime, unless they are being used for military purposes which was not the case here. Additional Protocol I, Article 51 protects the civilian population and prohibits indiscriminate attacks. Additional Protocol I, Article 52 states that civilian objects shall not be the object of attack. Additional Protocol I, Article 57 requires the attacking party to take all feasible precautions to spare civilians and civilian objects, and to respect the principles of distinction and proportionality. The article conveniently ignores that Pakistan has already violated Afghanistan’s airspace, bombed civilian areas, and struck a hospital. Its attempt to shift all responsibility to one side while whitewashing these crimes is legally dishonest and morally unacceptable. This is not a serious legal analysis — it is propaganda disguised as law.
Urgent humanitarian appeal to govt of Pakistan: Afghan cancer and other critical patients are losing their lives because Pakistan visa restrictions are disrupting lifesaving treatment. I personally know two patients who died after they could not return to Islamabad to complete remaining session of chemotherapy/radiotherapy at Shifa International Hospital. Patients traveling legally for medical care should not suffer because of regional tensions or the actions of militant groups. Humanitarian medical visas for Afghan patients must be facilitated urgently. Every delay can cost a life. @Mushahid @HamidMirPAK @NawazSharifMNS @CMShehbaz @PakinAfg @MIshaqDar50
52 Pakistani civilians have been martyred and 84 injured since Eid ul Fitr (March 26) due to cross-border shelling and indiscriminate targeting of civilians by the Afghan Taliban regime and Kharijis, according to MOFA. Pakistan termed as “one-sided” remarks by the #UK Special Representative Richard Lindsey @rlindsayUK who had shown concern at strikes in #Kunar and called for deescalation between Pakistan and the Taliban govt. In response to media queries regarding a social media post by the British Special Representative for Afghanistan, the Spokesperson, Tahir Andrabi, @foreignofficepk stated “We have seen the social media post by the British SRA regarding developments along the Pakistan–Afghanistan border. The one-sided remarks are devoid of a deeper understanding of the situation along the border. Cross-border aggression and terrorist infiltration attempts from the Afghan side have continued unabated despite Pakistan’s goodwill gesture of a temporary pause, announced in March 2026. Since then, indiscriminate and unprovoked cross-border attacks by the Afghan Taliban, and terrorist activities by Afghan Taliban-supported Indian proxies inside Pakistan, have resulted in the shahadat of 52 civilians and 84 injuries. Pakistan, while exercising restraint, has responded effectively by precisely targeting Afghan Taliban posts and terrorist support infrastructure, while also thwarting multiple infiltration attempts from the Afghan side. Afghan claims of civilian casualties due to Pakistan’s responses lack evidential credibility. Such unwarranted remarks, without linking them to the root cause of terrorism, do not offer a balanced and objective perspective. We urge a better understanding of regional dynamics, Pakistan’s principled stance, as well as the unparalleled sacrifices rendered by the people of Pakistan in the fight against terrorism.”
