Why is the state arresting a 70 year old woman for showing solidarity with Gaza? Release Tahira Abdullah and Samina Omar Asghar both of who have been arrested for exercising their basic democratic right.

HRCP strongly condemns the arbitrary arrest of human rights defenders Tahira Abdullah and Samina Omar in Islamabad, who were taken into custody outside the National Press Club ahead of a protest in solidarity with the people of Gaza. Given that neither of them was part of any

Tahira Abdullah politely saying to Police “Dhakkay na dein” (don’t push) & “kyoun arrest kar rahay hein?” (Why are you arresting us) while police arresting her & Samina Omar Khan outside Islamabad Press Club where they arrived in solidarity with Palestine. This is outrageous.

Tahira Abdullah was categoric in saying they were told it was a S. 144 violation but they did not commit one and it was just the two of them (S. 144 applies to 3 or more). She insisted this should be publicly known so no fabricated charges are cooked up. x.com/nayadaurpk_urd…

Tahira Abdullah repeatedly asked to meet Hadi Ali Chattha who was outside the thana gates but was told no. Thanas are meant to be open for reporting at all times. You cannot prevent those detained/arrested from meeting with counsel. But this is done routinely. x.com/AdvHadiali/sta…

Growing up, in Pakistan, it was all about solidarity with Palestine. And today, those protesting against the atrocities in Gaza are being arrested left, right and centre. x.com/AsadAToor/stat…

Does the state like to make a spectacle of everything? What is the purpose behind these arrests? In acting in this manner against citizens, you project the issue even more and extend more coverage to gatherings which otherwise may not even receive as much attention (tho should).

Issue is nothing but the control mindset. Last time at the Baloch students protest officials proudly claimed whether it was the Aurat March, Gaza protests or any other, uniform policy to allow no one, register FIRs and take action. Nothing to be proud of. x.com/ayeshaijazkhan…

While the federal government has yet to formally move ahead with the 27th Constitutional Amendment, murmurs of discontent and debate have already taken root within the legal fraternity. tribune.com.pk/story/2549584/…

Tomorrow at 7pm (Friday June 6), I will be joined by Sara Malkani & Rida Hosain to discuss the usual responses every time a woman is killed: harsher punishments, more laws. We'll discuss the systemic issues that remain unaddressed each time this happens. facebook.com/BoloBhi
