The prime minister said that during Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) and SCO plus summits in Astana, he had raised a strong voice for the rights of the oppressed people of Palestine. He called for a just solution of the Palestin...

Banished from Pakistan: Islamabad Moves on Afghan Refugees

BY BINOY KAMPMARK Photograph Source: Paul Keller – CC BY 2.0 Across the globe, refugees, always treated as the pox of public policy, continue to feature in news reports describing anguish, despair and persistent persecution. If they are not facing barbed wire barriers in Europe, they are being conveyed, where possible, to third countries to be processed in lengthy fashion. Policy makers fiddle and cook the legal record to justify such measures, finding fault with instruments of international protection such as the United Nations Refugee Convention of 1951. A very dramatic example of roughing up and violence is taking place against Afghans in Pakistan, a country that, despite having a lengthy association with hosting refugees, has yet to ratify the p...

Imran Khan is exactly what the US hates in a Pakistani politician: principled

Peter Oborne Lack of condemnation from the US over Khan's politically motivated imprisonment only confirms Washington's long history of preferring dictators pliable to its interests Lawyers in support of Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan denounce his arrest during a protest outside the high court in Lahore, on 7 August 2023 (AFP). Last week, the Russian dissident Alexei Navalny was sentenced to 19 years in a penal colony - accused of financing "extremism" and "rehabilitating the Nazi ideology". Quite rightly, the United States and Britain instantly denounced the move, with the US State Department describing the conviction as "an unjust conclusion to an unjust trial". Britain's Foreign Secretary J...

Imran Khan: India drawing inspiration from ‘Israel’ in Kashmir

Pakistani prime minister tells MEE threat of conflict over disputed territory is the world’s most dangerous ‘nuclear flashpoint’ Imran Khan speaking to MEE in Islamabad last week (MEE/Huthifa Fayyad) By Peter Oborne and David Hearst India enjoys the same kind of impunity within the international community over its attempts to change the demographic balance of Kashmir that Israel has in the occupied Palestinian territories, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan has told Middle East Eye. He accused his counterpart Narendra Modi, the Indian prime minister, of copying Israel’s playbook by allowing settlers to acquire land in the disputed territory, which has been claimed - and fought over - by both Pakistan and India since 1947. 'Once two nuclear armed countries get into th...

Pakistan political crisis: Why Imran Khan’s enemies want him out

Peter Oborne The prime minister has been vulnerable to attack - both domestically and externally - since coming to power in 2018 Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan watches Pakistan's Air Force fighter jets perform during the Pakistan Day parade in Islamabad on 23 March, 2022 (AFP). Prime Minister Imran Khan’s decision to dissolve the Pakistani parliament to head off a vote of no-confidence has been greeted by global shock and bemusement. That bemusement is misplaced. I’ve covered Pakistani politics over two decades. As a long-term student (and admirer) of the country, I can state with confidence that the real shock is not that Pakistan has been struck by political crisis; it’s that it has taken so long. Khan's honesty makes him fundamentally unsuited to the...

Muzzling the Media: Witch-hunting Against The Kashmir Walla

FacebookTwitterWhatsAppEmailTelegram On August 20, the website and social media handles of The Kashmir Walla, a Kashmir based media platform were restricted in India by the government without any notice. Soon after, the organisation was asked to vacate its office in Srinagar by the landlord. Earlier in February 2022, the editor-in-chief of the organisation, Fahad Shah was arrested by the police and charged under draconian UAPA and PSA. Sajad Gul, who worked as trainee reporter at The Kashmir Walla is also behind bars under PSA. The pattern clearly reflects the attempts by the central government to intimidate and harass independent journalists and press in Kashmir to muzzle the truth.
