Politics of pakistan

00:00Welcome to today's podcast. We're diving into a deeply troubling issue, the escalating human

00:06rights violations and lawlessness in Pakistan. The current situation seems to be reaching

00:12unprecedented levels. Absolutely. The government's actions are getting more and more extreme.

00:19Law enforcement is forcibly entering people's homes, and there's no accountability. Even more

00:25disturbing, it's women, mothers, daughters, who are being humiliated in public with no one

00:31questioning it. It's shocking. I mean, dragging women through the streets, pulling their hair and

00:36uncovering their heads. That's just unimaginable. How is this even happening in 2025? And what's worse

00:44is that the legal system is turning a blind eye. Multiple FIRs can be filed for a single event,

00:50yet courts blindly approve physical remands. Victims seeking justice aren't even able to get their

00:57petitions heard. It's mind-boggling. And when human rights cases reach the Supreme Court,

01:03they're dismissed with comments like, how far will human rights take us? It's almost as if they're

01:10shutting the door on justice altogether. That's the alarming reality. Take Yasmin Rashid, for example.

01:16She's 90 years old, suffering from cancer, and has been stuck in jail for two years without bail.

01:23Every time her hearing is set, something falls through. Either the bench is dissolved,

01:28or the police don't submit the necessary records. That's horrific. A woman in her condition is just

01:34being left to rot in prison, with no consideration for her health or age. And yet, this seems to be the

01:41norm. Exactly. And then there's Imran Khan, who's been subjected to some of the most

01:46extreme conditions in prison. Over 200 fabricated cases have been filed against him, many of which

01:53are for incidents that happened when he was already in custody. Yet, the courts continue to convict him.

01:59How does that even make sense? He's been convicted for events that happened when he was in government

02:05custody. It's like the system is stacking the deck against him at every turn. And that's just the

02:11beginning. In just three days, he was sentenced to 31 years in prison, with no fair trial, and hearings

02:17were even held late into the night. Rushing verdicts through, the entire process feels like a farce.

02:23It's chilling. And now he's been in solitary confinement for nearly two years. No family visits,

02:31no books. And even worse, he hasn't had a medical checkup in months. It's like they're trying to break

02:37him down mentally and physically. And it gets even worse. His phone calls with his children are

02:43blocked. His cell's electricity is cut off for hours at a time. And he's locked in a tiny cell

02:49for 22 hours a day. These are conditions that violate not only human rights, but basic human

02:55dignity. What blows my mind is that even when a court orders his release or calls for better treatment,

03:02the jail authorities completely disregard it. There's a complete lack of respect for the rule

03:08of law. That's the tragic irony, isn't it? A system designed to uphold justice is now actively

03:14contributing to the injustice. No one is being held accountable. The government, the courts, the police,

03:22they're all complicit. It's hard to fathom how far things have deteriorated. And I think this raises a

03:29broader question. How far can a country go before it reaches a tipping point? How long can this

03:35continue without serious consequences? It's a terrifying thought. And it's crucial for the

03:42international community to take note, because the silence is only making matters worse. Without

03:47pressure from outside and within, this cycle of lawlessness may only deepen. Absolutely. And as

03:54listeners, we need to keep asking, how much longer will this injustice persist? And what will it take

04:02for change to come? These are not just questions for Pakistan. They're questions for the world.

04:09Well said. Let's hope that awareness grows and that the voices of those suffering are heard.

04:14The world must stand up before it's too late. That's all we have for today. Thanks for tuning in.

04:21Stay informed, stay engaged, and remember, justice is a right, not a privilege.
