A note of gratitude and reflection on our time in Adiala Jail. A thread.
It has been an emotionally overwhelming week on both a personal and political level. We were without any contact with the outside world there but can now tell so many of you have put your sweat, tears and creativity into securing our freedom.
It is hard to express sufficient gratitude for the support & solidarity of our families, friends & allies, from my incredible partner-in-life @jaquelintzin, to the brilliant legal team that argued our case, to my relentless AWP comrades, the leftist, progressive & nationalist..
One of the critiques of PTM that I've come across is that the PTM is exclusively Pakhtun.
This is a problematic categorization for many reasons but before getting into that: I want to share my personal experience & interaction with PTM, as someone who is not Pakhtun.

When I met Manzoor Pashteen for the first time, I was in awe of his commitment to his cause. There are very few people in Pakistan who can tell you, at the drop of a hat, in great detail each case of enforced disappearance that has occurred. Manzoor knew every case by heart.
He explained so many cases in such great detail and with such immense compassion that anyone listening would have been moved. As I was in that moment.
I have attended PTM protests in Islamabad. Once, we were at the Press Club and I was sitting with BG, MD, AW & others.

The Afghans leadership on both sides of the Durand Line are equivocally condemning the arrest of the voice for peace in the region PTM leader @manzoorpashteen shows the voice is getting more momentum through a peaceful mean using non-violent strategies #ReleaseManzoorPashteen
@ManzoorPashteen PkMAP chairman Mahmood Khan Achakzai, Pres @ashrafghani, ANP president Asfandyar Wali Khan, ex-Afg Pres @karzaih, QWP chief @AftabaSherpao have all put forward their stance to condemn the arrest of @manzoorpashteen #ReleaseManzoorPashteen
@ManzoorPashteen @ashrafghani @KarzaiH @AftabaSherpao This all comes after the Pashtuns across Pashtunkhwa were going to arrange the pan-Pashtun jirga to work for a joint agenda on the issues of Pashtun nation, in which comes terrorism and extremism, racial profiling, resources, equity at the top #ReleaseManzoorPashteen
1/ Thread: I was initially supportive of Manzoor Pashteen, but not anymore. While we are at the topic of #ReleaseManzoorPashteen, lets go through some facts and you can see for yourself if he is indeed just about Pashtun rights.
2/ I originally liked him because I thought he was fighting for justice in case of Naqeebullah, as well as for the missing persons who are allegedly picked up by security agencies. But it gradually became clear that he was just using them as stepping stones for his larger agenda.
3/ As you will see in a bit, the agenda is to incite hatred against Pakistani state. Not some security agencies. Not army. Not rogue police officers. They hate Pakistan at its core. Throughout their rallies they have been "dogwhistling" anti-Pakistan innuendos to their audience.
A clearly double standard: one justice for constitution debating #ReleaseManzoorPashteen and another for the article 6 offender General Pervez Musharraf
Every individual of the country has right to debate the way #ReleaseManzoorPashteen did but none should violate the constitution the way General Zia and General Musharraf did. These courts are never new for the civilians but surely for the sacred cow deep-state
It is seemingly the state z taking test of the non-violent mammoth and cross-sectional movement of the Pashtuns who're children of a lesser God in Pakistan, but grains pushed in the ground are always raising again didn't Khan Shaheed and Bacha Khan proved #ReleaseManzoorPashteen
د آئين تبصره کول هيڅ جرم نه دي، او په هم دغه آئين کي نيمګړتياوي په ګوته کول د هر وګړي اختيار دي، منظور پښتين هيڅکله د آئين خلاف ورزي نه ده کړې بلکه هغه ورباندي تبصره کړيده ـ داسي تبصرې په پارليمان کي هم ورباندي رواني وي ـ #ReleaseManzoorPashteen
منظور دا ويلي چي د خان شهيد او باچا خان ذکر په نصاب کي نه وي او د نورو تاريخ په موږ د نصاب د لاري تپل کيږي نو دا خو له موږ سره ظلم دي ـ #ReleaseManzoorPashteen
بل يه دا ويلي چي په آئين کي د بدلونونو ضرورت دي، ځکه دغه آئين څنډي د انساني بنيادي حقوقو سره په ټکر کي دي ـ بايد چي لري کړل شي ـ نو دې کي د آئين خلاف ورزي چيري ده؟

اگر ایف آئی آر کی زبان کو دیکھا جائے: منظور پشتین نے آئین کو ڈیبیٹ کیا ہے؛ وائیلیٹ نہیں کیا ہے۔ پھر منظور جب پوچھ رہا ہے کہ مجھے میرے آئینی حقوق نہیں دیے جارہے؛ تو وہ کسی اور نہیں اسی 1973 کی آئین پاکستان ہے؛ جو جرنیلوں نے بارہا پامال کیا ہے۔ #ReleaseManzoorPashteen
جب جنرل پرویز مشرف کو پاکستان کے معزز عدالت نے آرٹیکل 6 کے تحت سزا دی کیونکہ انہوں نے اس کی پامالی کی تھی۔ تو انہیں کس نے بچایا؟ اور معزز عدالت کو کس نے فیصلہ کرنے سے روکا؟

#ReleaseManzoorPashteen
آئین کو ڈیبیٹ کرنا اور آئین کو وائیلیٹ کرنے میں فرق ہے؛ ہر آئینی ترمیم سے پہلے اسے سیاسی رہنما اور منتخب اراکین ڈیبیٹ کرتے ہیں؛ اگر منظور پشتین نے ڈیبیٹ کیا تو اس کو ہم پامالی کا نام کیوں دے؟ #ReleaseManzoorPashteen
Just got the FIR from DI Khan where they've mentioned that @manzoorpashteen has violated the 1973 constitution of Pakistan where mentioning that Punjab is given priority on population base while Pashtun aren't heard, these are the version of all provinces #ReleaseManzoorPashteen
@ManzoorPashteen On the other hand the same constitution was practically violated by the then army dictator General Pervez Musharraf and the honorable Pakistani court sentenced him under article 6 who gave him way to undo the court decision? #ReleaseManzoorPashteen
@ManzoorPashteen The same Punjab violated the population of Bengal and didn't they separated, wasn't that a case study for us?
Second: social contract or the constitution can be debated by every citizen, the debate is never an abrogation of the constitution #ReleaseManzoorPashteen
