Mohammed Khadeer Khan, 35, died on Thursday while receiving treatment at the Gandhi Hospital in Hyderabad after being detained by the Medak Police on suspicion of theft. The 35-year-old had been subjected to third-degree custodial torture. #MuslimLivesMatter ?
On January 29th, Mohd Khadeer Khan was apprehended by Medak Police in Hyderabad from Yakutpura as a suspect in a theft case. He was illegally detained for 5 days while being subjected to third-degree torture before being placed under house arrest without access to medical care.
His doctors advised him to check into Gandhi Hospital as he had sustained many fractures, a dislocated spine, and renal failure as a result of police abuse. He managed to escape house arrest somehow and check himself into Government Hospital, Medak.

Since 2018, @joyopal and a team of researchers studied Twitter discourse by Indian public figures. They found how BJP succeeded in cultivating goodwill among a large number of them using a carrot-and-stick approach. A thread.

Compared to their US counterparts, Indian sportspersons seldom take positions on political and social issues. When they do, it’s often to endorse the PM or the government’s initiatives. The Twitter activity spikes most on PM Modi's birthday.
Two-thirds of the defence-related accounts examined showed a moderate to strong bias towards the BJP. This included military veteran, defence experts and journalists.

Govt policies meant to achieve #genderequality cater to the monolithic woman, overlooking a range of sexual minorities, who face extreme exclusion, violence, ghettoisation! Support their struggle to fight 4 dignity and rights! @vqueeram @meeracomposes @thirunangai @ifwedonotrise Image

I would have never wished for Allah's wrath or curse to be upon anyone but to see so many hearts grieving today, people around the world who are oppressed and fighting for their life.. I recollect this dua against all the oppressors.

Ils furent deportés, ils sont privés de leur culture, de leur identité, leurs organes sont vendus, les hommes emprisonnés dans des camps de rééducation etc.

Chez les cerveaux normaux, on appelle ça de "l'épuration ethnique".
Mais auj, on détourne les yeux.

Dans le Turkestan occupé (oui le territoire fut annexé par le Chine en 49), les Ouïghours vivent dans la répression et la peur.

Et n'en doutez pas, si ils sont pris pour cible de cette manière c'est à cause de leur religion.

Ils ont le tort d'être musulmans. ImageImageImageImage
Alors je sais bien qu'un simple hashtag ne changera pas grandement les choses mais bon... on le fait quand même.

J'en profite pour penser à la Syrie, aux peuls, aux somaliens, aux Rohingyas, aux libyens, aux afghans, aux palestiniens, aux yéménites etc etc

Tant d'autres... ImageImageImageImage

Soon after the #USRIOTS, #Islamists in #India have given a call for similar riots in India. They are trending #MuslimLivesMatter. Shame they didn’t say that #LivesMatter, & not the religion.
In this thread, I would like to prove that #Islamophobia_In_India is a MYTH.

India was partitioned on the grounds of religion twice. First in 1905 and second in 1947. But the 1947 Partition is significant to the current scenario. All of us know the demographical condition of India at that time. It was a #Hindu majority and it still is.

Despite this fact, #India has always been a secular country. The basics behind this #Secularism is in the ethics of #Hinduism. NO religious text in #Hinduism promotes hatred on religious backgrounds.

#GeorgeFloyd's murder exposes the dark underbelly of US that has abrogated on itself the right to export democracy abroad -Iraq,Afghanistan,etc. This self proclaimed harbinger of world peace perpetuates systemic injustice against blacks at home.
#BlackLivesMatter
2/7, It shows little has changed in US over decades. But we in India, the self-proclaimed world's largest democracy, shouldn't be surprised. We have a Constitution that promises equality to all irrespective of caste & religion, but our system denies it everyday.
#blacklivesmatter
3/7. George Floyd's murder reminds me most of Pehlu Khan, Akhlaq, Tabrez Ansari, Alimuddin Ansari. In India, lynching of Muslims has become so normalized that it doesn't even lead to outrage anymore. Its openly celebrated& murderers are garlanded by ministers.

Have you ever thought about what goes through each muslim's mind everytime their life, their dignity, their very existence, is challenged. Muslims who live knowing they might at any moment, be arrested for madeup charges of sedition or such.
#MuslimLivesMatter
Are they calculating the possibility of bail, or preparing themselves for a lifetime of lock-up? Do they find solace in the belief that those on the outside will rally for their release with posters and protests?
Is this what went through the minds of Sharjeel Imam, Kafeel Khan,Khalid Saifi, Chengiz Khan, Meeran Haider, and all the others?
As day by day the number of hashtags, each for a cause, keeps increasing, what do we tell ourselves?

A #thread on whether it's wrong to call Delhi violence a #pogrom. I request 🙏🏾 liberal friends, journalists, citizens, to please read with patience. I'm not looking to label, ridicule, but to clarify. Making this point at @YoungIndiaRises March for peace, justice, democracy also
So, it's a FACT that Muslims and Hindus have been killed in the violence. Every drop of blood shed, every life lost, is equally precious - and it is the Home Minister Amit Shah & Narendra Modi who have that every drop of blood on THEIR hands, on the hands of Delhi Police
Were you tempted to say there are "two sides"? Be honest, many feel this way. But the thing to note is that only ONE side had the Delhi Police, the State machinery on its side. Only ONE side cd hear Court say that "it's not the right time to file an FIR" +
