Zainab Janjua & Imaan Mazari are fiercely independent and well-respected lawyers that are being punished for their views. It is shameful that the President IHCBA is weaponising the law, and suppressing independent voices. Statement by female lawyers demanding withdrawal of FIR.

Shrinking civic space is affecting us by putting the safety of women and girls everywhere at risk. Globally, anti-rights narratives in public discourses are leading to rollbacks of hard-won women's rights. 📷: Cornelia Kästner-Meyer, Lutheran World Federation.

De-escalate. Now. To the Indian left: be louder in your calls for de-escalation. The backlash you’ll face from warmongers now is not as bad as the effects of war we will both suffer from. Be louder. This is for all of us. De-escalate. Now.

In 2016, a woman was raped by her brother’s friend. A trial court convicted the man. The decision was upheld by the LHC. But in July this year, the Supreme Court ruled 2:1 that it was not a case of rape but instead of fornication. Justice Ayesha Malik dissented. Thread:

Pakistanis spent £5.3 million on rejected #UK visa applications, with close to 40 per cent applications rejected from Pakistan in 2023. In the same year, around 50pc of Schengen visas from #Pakistan were also rejected, with €3.344m spent on applications. dawn.com/news/1839140

Disrupting or shutting down the internet or any social media platforms bleed online businesses and commerce and adds to the misery of an already fragile and struggling economy. It also infringes on people's right to democratic decision making, information and expression. This…

Genuinely believe that the lack of accessibility to public place and general lack of mobility is a contributing factor in mental illnesses being very common among Pakistani women.

Futile proposal, I’m afraid “International courts” don’t have the jurisdiction to adjudicate over such matters Also, “crimes against humanity” have a different legal definition than what we hear on television and social media

5. Pakistani case law on S. 496 is underdeveloped, but you can see Indian judgments on this provision to see how it is interpreted It really boggles the mind how IK and Bushra bibi can be prosecuted, let alone convicted and sentenced, under S. 496

4. S. 496 relates to fraudulently going through a “marriage ceremony”, knowing one isn’t actually married This relates to deceiving the person you’re “marrying” (or deceiving people at large), and making them believe you are married when you know you are not

1. You will find a lot of judgments that say marriage during iddat is irregular, not void 2. An irregular or even a void marriage isn’t a crime in Pakistan 3. IK, Bushra Bibi have been convicted under S. 496 PPC, which has been in the penal code since colonial times

One can see just how less the State cares to protect women when women’s rights are arbitrarily harmed on a whim just to achieve political agendas. The State doesn’t care. The IK fans now begging for Aurat March support don’t care. Nobody cares, unless it’s for your pol agenda.

2. By making a woman’s menstrual cycle the subject of criminal inquiry (as well as public debate), this case has cast a blow to women’s right to dignity and privacy, as well as their freedom to make decisions about divorce and marriage without fear of being dragged in court

1. The proceedings + convictions in the “iddat case” (or specifically, “going through a marriage ceremony fraudulently without being lawfully married”) are a damning blot on our justice system Horrifying the State stooped this low seemingly just to humiliate IK, Bushra Bibi

From Maneka’s statement that his wife was “absolutely normal” in her menstruation to Judge Qudrat Ullah questioning whether “any sort of meeting in isolation” by namehram male and female is permissible in Islam - this judgment is shameful and a travesty of justice, human rights

The verdict in the #Iddat case is an assault on women’s privacy, bodily autonomy and the inviolability of dignity as protected by Art.14 of the Constitution. The judgement has no legal basis and should be condemned by all as a punitive measure aimed at humiliation & intimidation.
