In a disturbing escalation of Paki establishment’s repression, occupied-authorities have launched a full-scale crackdown against the Pashtun National Jirga/Court and members of the Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM) over the past three days. This coordinated assault by the Punjabi Pak Army aims to silence voices advocating for justice and peace within the Pashtun community.
The Pak Army has resorted to intimidation and mass arrests, undermining democratic processes and stifling dissent. Among those detained are prominent activists and organizers, including Abdul Waris Spinda, Ali Hassan, Jahangir Khan, and Muhammad Khan, among others—totaling over 50 individuals.
The current actions reflect a series of systemic assault on the Pashtun people by the Pak Army for decades. The Paki establishment’s ultimate goal is to frame the Pashtun community as insurgents, using these incidents to justify their ongoing military operations under the guise of counter-terrorism.
The Pashtun National Court, a significant political event, is set to take place on October 11, yet the occupied-state is already targeting PTM workers to disrupt any organized efforts for Pashtun self-determination.
