Adeeba&#8217;s [Name Changed] Facebook post and she is acknowledging it. She says humanity doesn&#8217;t have borders, such inhumane acts need to be condemned as they not only happen across the border in our country itself. And she says, Hence as an extension to the protests happening around India and abroad, SOAS, London, which is the School of Oriental Studies, tomorrow on 28th June, defending against the action of casteist Hindu violence perpetuated on the Muslim community of India, we are organising one in Karachi. Can you imagine this? So there will be a parallel protest that is being organised, taking inspiration from Junaid&#8217;s lynching, and this is going to be amplified and will also become a vector for protesting against such activities in Pakistan. Now, we got to know about this because&#8230;..&#8221;<\/em> He goes on to explain how they learnt about it after seeing the Karachi event listed on the \u2018Not in My Name\u2019 protest page.<\/p>\n<p>The tweet and the video have now been deleted by Times Now but not before Alt News archived a copy which you can access here. <\/p>\n<div class=\"important\"><strong>Video withdrawn upon Adeeba&#8217;s [Name Changed] request<\/strong><\/div>\n<p><strong><em>Is there a \u2018Not in My Name\u2019 protest in Karachi?
