What a time to be alive. As a global pandemic, an economic crash and despair are sweeping the world, so too are anti-racists movements inspired by the reawakening of Black Lives Matter following the brutal murder of George Floyd by US law enforcement. At such a time, I can’t help but be compelled to think ...

In memory of Sajid Hussain I remember well the first time you came to my office. It must have been in the early autumn of 2017. You were a bit shy. Taj did most of the talking. Would I be OK with you applying for political asylum in Sweden? “Yes, of course, it is your ...
The protests in the US and across the world have once again highlighted the age-old debate of just how racist our societies are. The African-American man that was murdered by the police in Minneapolis deserves to get justice, and the minorities have every right to be treated as equals in practice and not just in ...

We are living in a strange world. A pandemic ravages through communities across the globe. We witnessed a repeat of police brutality against African-Americans in the killing of George Floyd by the Minneapolis police which sparked protests throughout the USA and around the world. This sounds gruesome enough, but on May 26 I received news ...
Even by Balochistan’s standards of chaos, Tuesday’s incident with four-year-old Bramsh in Dannuk, Kech, was particularly gut-wrenching. The baby girl was shot and injured, and her mother, Maliknaz, killed at their home reportedly by members of a state-backed local gang of robbers in the middle of the night. One of the thugs caught by ...
A terrible Hamen Gohar does not remember her father. She was no more than 4 years old when the Waba (the epidemic) came and killed most of her family. Her memories of her father and the Waba are the stories passed on to her by her mother and grandmother, the stories of horror, trauma ...
