Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

It was only through international pressure – including interventions by British MPs – that my brother was released after 100 days of illegal detention. But the threats did not end there.

Shortly after his release, I began receiving encrypted messages warning that “we are not done with you.”

Weeks later, on the evening of 26 November 2023, I was attacked at my UK residence.

When I answered the doorbell, a man dressed in biker gear and wearing a helmet and gloves threw an acidic liquid at my face.

My four-year-old daughter stood behind me as I was rushed to the hospital. The police arrived at the scene, collected evidence, and provided me with protection.

But despite the severity of the attack, there was no public outcry, no expulsion of Pakistani intelligence officers from the High Commission, and no official condemnation.

Instead, I was privately informed that a “strong message” had been delivered to the Pakistani authorities.
