PECA court sentenced human rights lawyers for 17 years, but Islamabad High Court has not fixed hearing for appeal of their sentence since February 7.
& now changing the bench after 3 hearings of nothing.
Why delay & deny justice?

I would say it’s important to provide the source when lifting materials from elsewhere #ethics #credibility.

@TheDavidBergman @PrdpBhandari I visited a few weeks ago and really liked the idea of turning the burnt building into an exhibition space. My heart broke seeing the burnt books and preserved archives were destroyed completely.

If you are in Dhaka — or can easily travel there — go now to visit the remarkable exhibition housed in the burnt-out Prothom Alo newspaper building in Karwan Bazar.
The decision to stage an exhibition inside the very building that was set ablaze — targeted by anti-India and anti–free media extremists just a few months ago — is both courageous and inspired. Whoever conceived the idea deserves the highest praise, and the artist who brought it to life merits the strongest possible recognition.
I visited today, and I cannot overstate how intelligent, inventive, and deeply thoughtful the exhibition is. It transforms destruction into reflection, and damage into meaning. You are unlikely to see anything quite like it.
The exhibition has been open for some time, but closes at the end of Saturday — so you have only this afternoon and tomorrow to see it

Agree. But this is not “journalism”. This is someone who has worked as a journalist using words and images on social media in the most unethical way.

Disgusting, gutter “journalism” so many people who should know better are gleefully participating in Just because the CM of Punjab is a woman, criticising her and her Government is never enough - sexual innuendo and misogynistic filth always dominate campaigns against her Clearly, the objectives are character assassination and feeding the sexual perversion of internet trolls, not holding the Punjab Government accountable

Criticism of any government is a democratic right but misogyny and character attacks are not journalism. Hold leaders accountable on policy, not on gender. Political debate must rise above personal and sexist smear campaigns.

Reports of children & women killed in Afghanistan by Pakistani strikes are deeply disturbing. If terrorists are killing our innocent people, the solution can’t be to kill more innocent people across the border. This cycle of violence should end through pressure on Taliban regime.

“Famous Sindhi songs, poetic verses, and melodies should be performed using instruments from the region as well as from other parts of the world. I have always believed that work should be done on such kinds of fusion.
For example, Sindhi melodies should be played on African American jazz styles, on the banjo used in the country music of Kentucky and Tennessee, on the Western piano, and on our own subcontinent’s instrument, the sitar.
I have noted that there are many instruments, including the violin, on which Sindhi folk melodies have not yet been performed. Coke Studio has carried out this kind of experiment wonderfully.
Here, a Sindhi tune, ‘Munkhe Jogi Hani De Tun Dharo,’ has been presented on Balochi instruments in a very delightful and mesmerizing style.
Mushtaq Rajpar@MushRajpar
Folk Sindhi tune on Balochi musical instruments, loving this fusion مونکي جوڳي ھڻي ڏي تون ڍارو سنڌ جا مشھور گيت، ڪلام ۽ ڌنون علائق توڙي دنيا جي ٻين سازن تي ۽ ساڻ پيش ٿيڻ گھرجن. منھنجو اھو خيال رھيو آھي ته ان ڪسم جي فيوشن تي ڪم ٿيڻ گھرجي. مثلن جي افريڪن امريڪن جيز تي، ڪيٽڪي ۽ ٽينيسي جي ڪنٽري ميوسز جي ساز بينجي تي، مغربي پيانو تي ۽ اسان جي ننڍي کنڊ جي پنھنجي ساز ستار تي سنڌي ڌنون وڄائڻ گھرجن. ڪوڪ اسٽوڊيو اھو تجربو شاندار ڪيو. ھتي بلوچي سازن تي سنڌي ڌن مونکي جوڳي ھڻي ڏي تون ڍارو” تمام مزيدار ۽ جھومائيندڙ ڪيف ۾ پيش ڪئي وئي آھي. #Sindhi #Balochi #Balochistan

Pakistan gave women the right to vote in 1947 - the year of its inception — about 24 years before Switzerland.

Iran under the Shah gave women the right to vote 8 years earlier than Switzerland.
