This is a comprehensive analysis amplifying Soch Media's Pakistan Election Integrity Report on the February 2024 Karachi elections. Their meticulous documentation, Form 45 comparisons, polling-station datasets, and video testimony highlights systematic irregularities affecting…


Thank you so much! So glad our hard work and sleepless nights paid off and people loved the finished product, especially how we showed our work, relied on public documents and let people see for themselves how their mandate was stolen.

His face is my reply. It’s insulting enough.

Asma Jahangir or Hina Jilani were/are brilliant human rights lawyers - judges like Justice Dorab Patel and Justice Fakhruddin Ebrahim will also always be remembered for their clear and unequivocal stance on the issue of human rights - let’s not equate these giants with 30…

No. You admit you’re wrong and haven’t been able to prove how he got “a Polish eSIM”. You are still a nameless faceless coward by the way, Your identity here is a lie.



How is her activism aligned with western mining interests? She takes cases for people who are directly in their line of fire including Baloch activists speaking about exactly how they’re being genocided by faujis for their mining interests.

The reason of my anger is that it felt like a slap. When that ambassador showed up at that trial, it personally felt like a slap to me. As if he were laughing and saying "Look, this was always possible, we could've done this for anyone. We could have done it for the lawyers of…



Talk about tone deaf. Imaan did the right thing by reminding the establishment that prosecuting human rights leaders in kangaroo courts is not without cost. You should think about why youre pissing yourself over a rare win for someone dedicating their life to human rights in Pak.

For a very brief moment I felt bad about Iman Mazari but that phase is over again. She has incredible privilege and access, she has foreign governments and ambassador backing her. Yet instead of using that access and privilege to question why these people enabled the Pakistani…



Question for stooges is what are they so afraid of if a diplomat comes and observes legal process in Pakistan. Maybe anxious about the precious export rents coming in from GSP+ which would be jeopardised if Paks ground realities were acknowledged

The Norwegian ambassador appearing in court for Imaan Mazari’s hearing is a breach of diplomatic norms. This case has no link to Norway, yet his presence looks like a pressure tactic. Who allowed this intrusion, and why is a foreign envoy circling someone facing serious charges?

بلاسفیمی بزنس گینگ اور آرمی چیف کی کی کرپشن پر رپورٹنگ کے بعد میرے خاندان کی خواتین کو کس طرح سے اٹیک کیا گیا؟ ملک بھر میں جسم فروشی کا کاروبا پھیل رہا ہے، حکومت آنکھیں بند کیے کیوں بیٹھی ہے۔ جسم فروشی کے اڈوں پر پیدا ہونے والے بچے بعد میں معاشرے میں بگاڑ پیدا کرتے ہیں۔ کیسے؟…


But Zardari and Munirs life time pardons are totally legitimate.

Benjamin Netanyahu's request for a pardon for corruption charges is nothing but a desperate attempt to evade accountability. His role in the Gaza genocide, which has resulted in the deaths of thousands of innocent Palestinians, is a far more heinous crime that demands justice.…



Another case of fraudulent triumphalism when govt celebrates fake crypto deals that are advertised with buzzwords like democratising and exports and growth, but in reality is another satta pitch directed at elites. Without edu all Pak will do in crypto is have its rich gamble $$$

Bilal bin Saquib is the new generation of fraudsters imposed on the poor state

SHC Bar Secretary called convention in SHC bar room to protest 27th Amdmt. President Sarfraz Metlo cancelled it. Then SHC Registrar issued notification barring convention from being held. When lawyers collected in bar room anyway, electricity disconnected. So they held it outside

This is just absuuuuuurd. I’m almost glad everything is so nakedly out in the open. Imagine being stupid enough as a thief to turn on the lights yourself mid-robbery.

میلو: میں اس ترمیم کے حق میں ووٹ دے رہا ہوں لیکن میں حکومت اور سیاسی قیادت سے پر زور اپیل کرتا ہوں ایسی ترمیم منظور نہ کی جائے جو سیاسی ڈھانچے اور جہموریت کو کمزور کررہی ہے 😂😂😂😂

Marr: How can you know I’m self censoring? Chomsky: I’m not saying you’re self censoring. I’m sure you believe everything that you’re saying. What I’m saying is that is you believed something different, you wouldn’t be sitting where you’re sitting.
