Mahira Khan, Adnan Siddiqui express concern over chaos at Zaman Park

A number of Pakistani celebrities have expressed their concern over the chaos at Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan’s residence at Zaman Park in Lahore, Pakistan.

PTI workers and police engaged in a standoff outside the home of PTI leader Imran Khan in Zaman Park for nearly 24, with the law enforcers trying to get through the supporters and arrest Khan, who was voted out as the prime minister last April.


The Legend of Maula Jatt star Mahira Khan tweeted about the ongoing situation and wrote, “This is absolutely ridiculous!”

She also wished for everyone's safety. “Praying for everyone’s safety and for some sanity to prevail!” she added.

Celebrated actor Adnan Siddiqui, on the other hand, felt the support for Khan, in the form of people taking to the streets, was incredible to witness.

"It's incredible to witness people from all walks of life coming together with a shared sense of purpose, fuelled by their passion and dedication," he wrote.

He termed the support for Khan on the roads as "unprecedented" in the country's history. "Such an outpouring of support for a leader is unprecedented in the history of our country," the actor wrote.

What Britain’s ban on strangulation porn really means and why campaigners say it could backfire

Highlights:

  • Government to criminalise porn that shows strangulation or suffocation during sex.
  • Part of wider plan to fight violence against women and online harm.
  • Tech firms will be forced to block such content or face heavy Ofcom fines.
  • Experts say the ban responds to medical evidence and years of campaigning.

You see it everywhere now. In mainstream pornography, a man’s hands around a woman’s neck. It has become so common that for many, especially the young, it just seems like part of sex, a normal step. The UK government has decided it should not be, and soon, it will be a crime.

The plan is to make possessing or distributing pornographic material that shows sexual strangulation, often called ‘choking’, illegal. This is a specific amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill. Ministers are acting on the back of a stark, independent review. That report found this kind of violence is not just available online, but it is rampant. It has quietly, steadily, become normalised.
