Climate Action Pk is cognizant that social activism, including climate activism, would draw the ire of defenders of the status quo. We also recognize the urgent scientific & moral necessity of confronting the current power structure that is destroying our communities & our planet
Our fellow climate justice activist from Islamabad, Ammar Rashid, Nawfal Saleemi, Saifullah Nasar, Shahrukh Alam and over a dozen other protestors were arrested outside Islamabad Press Club for peacefully protesting against extra judicial arrests.
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.
