We are back wd same zeal & enthusiasm, tragedy of #KharQamarMassacre will be known in history as example of a State's brutal response to peaceful protest. In its aftermath, this State piled up even more violations of human rights & decency in its treatment of Ali & myself-1

From May to Sep we were kept first at Peshawar jail & then at Haripur. During this transition the State decided to further increase its pressure as in Haripur we were kept in cells marked for terrorists. There was no mobility in jail, we had no access to news & other facilities-2
The most hurtful in all of this was the allegation of violence against us preachers of non-violence. But all of this will not deter us from our goal, which is to win peace & equal rights for our ppl & it will also not deter us from our path, which is the path of non-violence-3
We are willing to lay our lives for our ppl, jails are a very small price. I would like to thank all of those who raised their voice for our release. There are too many names but one that I must mention is @BBhuttoZardari for his unwavering support both in & out of parliament. -4
Ours is a long struggle, and it is not only for the benefits of Pashtuns but for every victim of state oppression in this country. Pakistan's biggest weakness is the silence of its good people. This status quo will end only when when enough good people speak up. -5
We are also thankful to our legal team, my mentor Lateef Lala my two friends like brothers @SangeenKhan & @afghan_tariq who fearlessly fought our case in trial court and the high court-6
