آن لائن جوا کمپنیوں کا پاکستانی کرکٹ پر قبضہ کون کروا رہا ہے؟ نجم سیٹھی کو کیا سٹا کروانے والی کمپنیاں ہی پی ایس ایل کے سپانسر کے طور پر ملی تھیں؟ سٹیٹ بنک کے کرپٹو کرنسی کےپابندی کے حوالے سے واضح احکامات کو نظر انداز کر کے کرپٹوکرنسی کمپنی کو سپانسر کیوں بنایا؟

@AmirMateen2 برانڈنگ، مارکیٹنگ اور لوگوز کی اہمیت اور اس معاملے میں حساس کرکٹ بورڈ کو جوا کمپنیوں کے اس دھوکے کا پتا نہیں چلا یا پھر اس معاملے پر اپنی کارکردگی دکھانے کے چکر میں چشم پوشی کی گئی؟ نجم سیٹھی نے پی ایس ایل کو جوا کمپنیوں کا قمار خانہ کیوں بنا دیا؟
@AmirMateen2 ارشد شریف کے ماسک پہن کر آنے پر شائقین کو پولیس سے پھینٹی لیکن جوا بازی میں ملوث کمپنیوں کی تشہیر پر کرکٹ بورڈ کا معمولی غلطی نطر انداز کرنے کا مشورہ کیوں؟

2/He has 3 children under the age of 10. His family struggled to meet basic needs while he was in prison. Even though out on bail he can’t return to CSD & has difficulty finding other work. Crt has ordered them to pay back loan with interest, which they don’t have ability to.
3/He is likely to lose his land (his only asset) as part of debt settlement, in which case they will be homeless.
Most of ppl arrested under #PTA are economically deprived, & marginalized. In addition to emotional stress, their imprisonment pushes families further into poverty.

The #PTA is an affront to #lka's judiciary.
The judiciary has a crucial and time-tested role in being the guardian of individual liberty.
Sri Lanka's ordinary criminal law, and the constitutional safeguards that underpin it, recognise that judicial role.

First, when a person is arrested, they have to be brought before the nearest judge as soon as possible. A judge must ensure the suspect is being treated humanely.
Our constitution and our criminal procedure law embody this principle.
It is a safeguard against #torture.

But the #PTA undermines that principle by permitting EXECUTIVE officials to prevent a suspect from being produced before a judge.
They can do so by getting a detention order issued against the suspect.

Si le rendez-vous avec le docteur @FranGoehringer a été porteur comme toujours (🙏) les conditions de prises en charge des malades touchés par les #SFPI #SFPV (syndromes de fatigue post infectieux viraux) sont indignes d'un pays comme la 🇫🇷.

1/ My thoughts on support for the (role played by) LTTE.
PS: I have been attacked on social media, news websites as well as certain Tamil diaspora media & called traitor, anti-Tamil & pro-military. At the same time govt affiliated ppl have labeled me traitor, anti-natl & LTTE.

2/The fact I have to first show my bona fides, as it were, by saying I was attacked by “both sides” to show I am being objective illustrates the challenge Tamils face when calling for a nuanced understanding of & means to deal with the violent past, which spills into our present.
3/ As a Tamil who knows & works with people from different social groups within the Tamil community, it is impossible not to know persons who at one time supported LTTE &/or believe in the necessity of the role played by LTTE. The support is complex & takes many forms.

Yesterday's travesty in Hejaaz Hizbullah's case exemplifies why the Prevention of Terrorism Act in all shapes and forms MUST BE REPEALED.
The decision by the trial judge to refuse bail, despite the AG consenting to bail, flows from s. 15(2) of the #PTA.

@Justice4Hejaaz
S. 15(2) becomes relevant once the indictment is received by the High Court.
It makes it mandatory for the judge to remand the accused until the conclusion of the trial (note the distinction in Ahnaf's case - where no indictment was served).

So despite the AG consenting to bail, the trial judge went for a strict application of s. 15(2).
S. 7 of the PTA makes reference to the AG consenting to bail, but only when the matter is still before a magistrate.

6 UN rapporteurs & the working Group write to #srilanka president saying prevention of terrorism act (#PTA) is not compliant with #lka's international law obligations: spcommreports.ohchr.org/TMResultsBase/… - Government response at spcommreports.ohchr.org/TMResultsBase/…
They complain about vague legal definitions - esp. regarding INTENT to cause communal disharmony & say language needs amending. Also say PTA might allow 4 unlawful detention, confessions thru #torture + concerned about who can arrest and if law can be retrospectively applied.
Also that official recognised places of detention need to be used with proper registers & families informed.
We Sri Lankans have a memory of a goldfish (I know it's a myth).

The debate around #schoolsreopening during #Covid19 has been largely grounded in conjecture to this point - we're proud to contribute DATA to the discussion - a thread from our experiences testing an entire K-12 school population from August thru December.medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
2)Kids do contract+transmit #COVID19, but rates of illness when they are IN school are LOWER than when OUT of school. Suggests that children/communities may be at lower risk when in school -poss due to mitigation measures +controlled environment not possible when out of school
THREAD: The international response to the anti-Tamil pogroms of 1983, specifically the Tamil diaspora mobilization during this time, is often left out of our narratives. This resistance should be remembered and commemorated. #Tamil #lka #BlackJuly
The 1983 genocide of the Tamil community was a wake-up call to the rest of the world. The Sinhala-Buddhist chauvinism demonstrated by the Sri Lankan state was finally starting to be seen and condemned by the rest of the world. #BlackJuly
Tamil Nadu demonstrated the most consistent and continuous protests since July 25. MPs, Madras students, school children and women, and even police officers, joined the marches wearing black bands in solidarity and mourning with Tamils in SL. #BlackJuly
THREAD: The following details the acts of violence inflicted on the Tamil People throughout the #BlackJuly Genocide. Readers are encouraged to practice caution while reading and reflecting.
Note: While we’re unable to provide full accounts of the violence by piecing together different incidents we hope to provide a better understanding of how the events unfolded.
The period of July 24-July 29, 1983, known as “Black July” in Sri Lanka, is considered to have galvanized the Tamil People behind the armed movements fighting for a separate state against the Government of Sri Lanka (GoSL).

The regulator‘s special page to report online blasphemous content is state’s owning of blasphemy laws and contrary to the claims made in meetings.where the claim that the law is never enforced. We don’t punish people to death.
