🚨INJUSTICE 💔

2-1 The Supreme Court of Pakistan has ruled to free Omar Sheikh, Fahad Naseem, Salman Saqib and Sheikh Adil in Danny Pearl’s kidnapping and murder.

Will America move to extradite Omar Sheikh? @POTUS @TheJusticeDept @State_SCA @GovChristie @jaketapper
I’m in shock. What a betrayal. How could you let this this happen on your watch @ImranKhanPTI? First Danny Pearl is murdered on your soil. And now justice is slain.

How can this be @sufisal?
world, please must help us
From @JanjuaHaroon the first to awaken me in the early morn of April 2, 2020, to the decision by Sindh High Court judge KK Agha to free Omar Sheikh and the 3.
From @SaeedShah at the @WSJ:
The 2-1 order. supremecourt.gov.pk/downloads_judg…
The order. Extradite Omar Sheikh.

If Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh is freed by a Pakistani court, he must face American justice. And it shouldn’t be up to the family of one of his victims to demand it, writes @GovChristie wsj.com/articles/extra… via @WSJ
2/ @GovChristie makes a critical argument: The US indicted Omar Sheikh for Danny Pearl's 2002 kidnapping AND the 1994 kidnapping of a US tourist Bela Nuss in India. Christie was there and says: he faces the DEATH PENALTY in America. nbcnews.com/id/wbna3067249
3/ Writes @GovChristie @WSJopinion: "I was sworn in as U.S. attorney for the District of New Jersey on Jan. 17, 2002. Six days later, Daniel Pearl, South Asia bureau chief for The @WSJ, was kidnapped in Karachi, Pakistan."

Here is looking at you @TJAlumniAG @FairfaxNAACP @Keys_Gamarra @Ricardy4Mason @tjpartnership @TJAnnB @FCPSSupt @VASecofEdu @GovernorVA.

You stoked fake Twitter mobs calling Brown + Black families at TJHSST "segregationists." "racist," "toxic" and "pay-to-play" cheaters. #Shame
Thank you @SarahTheHaider for being a champion for our school and its kids. They are amazing, amazing kids. And it's broken my heart this year to see them used as the scapegoats for years of failures by all of the groups who have stoked the woke agitation against our school.
Before COVID, I did hall monitor duty on Mondays when teachers would be in collab meetings. The kids? They'd congregate on the floors of places like Gandhi Commons. Their greatest infraction? Maybe skipping down the hall. They don't skip out of school. They are GOOD KIDS.

1/ NEWS FLASH. From @SaeedShah @WSJ: “Pakistani authorities were seeking new legal means to continue to detain the man convicted in 2002 as the mastermind of the kidnapping and killing of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, officials said.”
wsj.com/articles/pakis…
2/ “...Faiz Shah, the prosecutor general for the southern province of Sindh, where the case was heard Thursday, said that Mr. Sheikh would remain behind bars. He said that an earlier ruling by the Supreme Court would be used to ensure that.” The order: drive.google.com/file/d/189W34o…
3/ Writes @WSJ @SaeedShah:
“He will be detained,” said Sindh prosecutor Faiz Shah.

“Pakistan, which faces possible intl financial sanctions over lax controls on terrorist groups in the country, has been embarrassed by the resurfacing of the Pearl case...analysts say.” Image

ALERT In hours starting 12 PM ET Fri night / 9 AM Karachi time, Omar Sheikh + 3 men convicted in Danny Pearl's murder will try to walk out of jail. Ruth + @YudaPearl ask the govt of Pakistan to stop this miscarriage of #JusticeforDanielPearl. cc: @imrankhanpti @realdonaldtrump
1/How did we get here? Born in 1973, Omar Sheikh, a British-Pakistani dropout from the London School of Economics became radicalized at Salafi mosques in London in the early 1990s. He vowed to become a jihadi. He went to Pakistan to wage jihad. And kidnap. theguardian.com/world/2005/feb…
2/ 1994, Omar Sheikh went to India for a militant group, and he used the fake name "Rohit Sharma" to kidnap four tourists, including an American, Bela Nuss, from Connaught Place in Delhi. He was caught by Delhi police and sent to Tihar Jail. nytimes.com/1994/11/01/wor…

1/ Christmas Eve, Sindh High Court Judge KK Agha shocked us by issuing get-out-of-jail-free cards to the 4 men convicted in Daniel Pearl's murder. The govt of Pakistan is fighting that ruling. This is what Danny's brave parents, Ruth and @yudapearl say...
2/ From Ruth and @yudapearl: "We refuse to believe that the Pakistani government and the Pakistani people will let such a travesty of justice tarnish the image and legacy of Pakistan."

The new judicial decision ⬇️ Download here: drive.google.com/file/d/1uAoZhQ…
3/ We believe our sons murderers should remain in jail because of the Supreme Court Appeals, and we are also heartened to hear the Government of Pakistan is filing an appeal against the latest release order so that our son's murderers will remain in jail and justice will prevail.
