The Freedom of speech is shattered and silenced once again. Sabeen Mahmud, a NGO and more than that a champion of piece who always tried to bring entire world under one umbrella of piece.She always wanted to challenge discrimination and injustice. Her brave voice always spoke against civic problems.She was an icon of solidarity among all underprivileged people for whom her fight was restless. She wanted and strongly believed to change the entire world through internet.
Her famous cafe TF2 at Karachi, has seen assembly of all intellects for forum discussion, poetry, telling,taking part in live theater etc since many years. Her TF2 was designed to bring people from different discipline to brainstorm ways to solve different civic problems. She never hesitated to bring in her cafe The second floor controversial author like Ayesha Siddiqa who penned the controversial book like Military financing. This was the cause that fetched ISI authorities in her second floor for interrogation.
Sabeen Mahmud always believed that security would never solve any problem. So, she never kept any security for her cafe.She believed that things what will happen cannot be controlled by fear and in public domain. And she had to pay the price for that. Once again the voice of people, voice conscience has been gagged by some brutes who will be answerable to this world for their misdeeds in days to come.
