That was my mistake, my source was basically just the overall atmosphere of the first chapters of Elysian Realm and how she was referred to as a traitor. Thank you for correcting me I did not mean to spread misinformation

Apology accepted! It's alright, you just got a bit carried away at the end of the day, but it's good to remember that most folks won't question "facts" if they have no prior reason to doubt them. We can't count on others to fact-check. Spreading speculation as fact is unfortunately VERY VERY EASY even when we don't mean to!

Adding stuff like "I think" or "My guess is" helps tamper credibility a little bit (though it's not anywhere near foolproof with word of mouth quoting instead of linking...). What I often do is that I go back and look for my sources mid-rant to make sure I'm not making anything up from half-remembered blurbs, when it's my own post I'll even add proof in the form of quotes or references.

Obviously there's no need to always go that far, no one wants fifty asterisks in your ask to source every statement and it's not too serious when it's just a fictional character, but do pay extra attention if you're talking about an actual person. Speculating about a fictional character ultimately just results in grumpy fans (usually). Making shit up about a stranger can have harsh consequences! Keep speculation to an absolute minimum there, even if they have rancid vibes, okay?

Keep in mind also, when you don't like the character (or person), you will subconsciously paint them in a less favorable light. Even neutral or kind acts may seem bad from a certain angle. They're just helping this grandma cross the street to make themself look better!

The inverse is also true, we will be inclined to trust and agree with people if they go along with what we already believe, like or feel is right. Everyone's point of view in the world is subjective, we will see what we want to see if we're not thinking things through, and gravitate towards an echo chamber that reinforces existing beliefs.

To circle back to the original point, you sent someone who hates Elysia information that made her out to be originally written as murderously narcissistic (admittedly less boring than what we got) which was not founded on actual facts, but very difficult to verify since it's scrapped content. Now, I know that this was an accident, a mistake on your part. That's okay! However.

Some people exploit this implicit trust maliciously for their own ends (like trying to cancel someone, or a character/ship they don't like). These people know that if they sound like they know their stuff, an audience won't think twice about it, all they need is a platform to spread their ideas even with no basis.

For example... they can send an anon ask to a relatively well-known blogger. They know they can even make themself sound innocent from planting the idea by asking it as a question. As long as people hear it, it doesn't matter if it's true in the slightest.

My point is, I will believe you in particular just made a mistake, but from what @cloud-ya's told me, there was an ask in her inbox doing that exact thing to the extreme. Specifically bringing up wild speculation about what Elysia would think of real-world events, framed in such a way as to make her sound like a terrible person. Elysia is a fictional character, she doesn't have opinions, any speculation thereof is projected onto her according to your own personal agenda.

Needless to say that's not appropriate in the slightest and highly manipulative. Deleted immediately. Asks like these should never see the light of day!

So, let us take it as a warning both for folks like you who send their thoughts, and folks like me who receive them, that we can all accidentally contribute to hatred and misinformation, even if it's an accident...

Let's keep everyone safe by paying attention to what we platform!

I’m not writing this as a psa nor do I honestly expect foreigners to care much (I’ve reconciled myself to it so like…it’s fine i guess) other than me communicating just how much i despise gringo lefties offering their brainless takes on mexico and what they consider a “Mexican left.”

There’s no real leftist Representation™ at a high institutional level here because of how deeply entrenched government corruption is across all parties—like sure, people can bring up a few states legalising abortion and gay marriage, and some strides made towards lgbt rights, but a lot of those are not because our politicians are suddenly becoming better, more conscientious people lmao. Politicians are generally more interested in enriching themselves, having power, and handing out benefits to their friends, families, and followers.

To put it simply, this post is actually about shit-idiot brained gringo lefties rallying behind amlo. Because of their stupid binary “one side good, other side bad” mindset, they’ve somehow got it into their heads that the man is a leftist icon. This to me is the most damning indictment of their being easily fooled by words and later not bothering to actually look into people’s actions, because a man who actively sabotages domestic green energy in favour of keeping the state-owned fossil fuel industry afloat, calls his critics enemies of the state, turns a blind eye to the record levels of journalists and environmentalists assassinated during his term, cozies up to the military (to the point of bailing out a general credibly accused of drug trafficking!) is reluctant to address organised crime, and keeps cutting public funding…a leftist. All it took was for gansocacas to say he’s against “neoliberalism” and “conservatism,” and those gullible tools swallowed his shit unquestioningly and asked for more.

Tomorrow the March 8th protest will see women of all ages, economic statuses, orientations, and more take to the streets to protest against a country that has for years condoned a culture of misogyny and femicide. They’ll be out bravely wearing purple (symbolising feminism) and green (symbolising the call for fully legalised abortion and protected reproductive rights), easily identifiable to many citizens still hostile to women. They protest because it’s their constitutional right to do so against people deriding them for it as “feminazis” and “ugly hairy fat man-hating lesbians” (yeah, that stereotype exists here too), where even a hint of going against the flow can net them all sorts of risks. They protest because it’s important.

They do not protest out of any personal hatred towards the president; but this senile fool, who is convinced that he’s somehow not as selfish and corrupt as all his predecessors have been, takes their legitimate criticism as an insult to his pet project of proclaiming himself as a reformer (lmao) and that his sexenium is going to see him lifting Mexico out of poverty and violence.

So instead of taking their criticism as necessary feedback, he goes on national television to call them enemies of the state; that they’re violent shock troops sent by conservatives (LOL) to make him look bad and interfere with his party; that their only form of dialogue is throwing molotov cocktails and beating up officers and vandalising (often historic) buildings.

This man cut funding to women’s shelters and programmes, forcing many to close and shut down their operations. This man constantly went on national television (he gives an hour long televised address every singly damn morning) to downplay femicide and misogyny despite the daily reports of violence committed against women and girls. This man has been in politics since the late 70s/early 80s, yet feigns ignorance of the common government tactic of sending in actual undercover shock troops to break up and sow chaos in protests and then conveniently disappear their participants after beating them up. This man insults the worth of human lives by feigning more concern for vandalised historic buildings, when he has also continued the tradition of previous governments constantly defunding the historical societies and state organs meant to look after their upkeep (to the point that students and faculty from the National School of Anthropology and History are on strike).

This man is a coward, so afraid to face legitimate protest that he deploys heavily armed police, rooftop snipers, and barricades himself in the National Palace (a historic building whose maintenance costs taxpayers millions, and is his residence despite him saying he would eschew the traditional presidential house of Los Pinos to save the citizenry their money and keep staying in his usual house…which he did…for a few months into his term, anyway!) behind three meter high plate metal fencing against women who just want to stop being endangered by misogynist violence.

This is the man gringo lefties—and I absolutely specify lefties, because at least we know right wingers are more openly racist and stupid instead of pretending they care and pretending they’re not wholly ignorant about mexico)—are stanning. It’s not enough to stand by their absurd binarism, but to engage in a very embarrassing American attitude of treating politicians like favourite celebrities instead of people who, by virtue of their power and taxpayers footing their bills, should instead be regarded as your employees who should move heaven and earth for you to make your life better in exchange.

So: to bloggers like zvaigdelasas and their entire circus of smug, moronic armchair specialists…I hope you keep this in mind as you undoubtedly share posts tomorrow about the march. Your sincerity is as hollow as your heads, your smirking posts throwing your weight behind amlo an insult to every woman who will be out on the street in protest. Your politics are nothing more than a thin smokescreen for the ignorance you so proudly uphold to the detriment of Mexicans who’ve learned they cannot count on building international leftist support if gringos like you are at the forefront of that supposed leftism.

And finally, from the bottom of my heart: eat shit.

#radikewl politics are exhausting #welcome to sunny mexico #damn…this is a long rant #Terfs don’t fucking touch this

LIGHT OF LIFE 183

John 1:4

THE LIGHTED SOUL 12 – DO YOU WANT FREEDOM 3

Psa 112:4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous. KJV

We are still talking about PRESSING/FIGHTING your way through to liberty from all strongholds that could prevent you from being purely reserved as a vessel of honour in God’s hands alone.

Samson is a mouthful beloved, you can’t finish calling his name in a session.

So he loved a woman in a valley (Jg 16:4). These presents two (2) steps of vulnerability for “Macho Man” Samson.

First, he LIKES women. Second, he LOVED one in a valley. The best he did with any other woman was when he was “well pleased” with the one he had wanted to marry before (Jg 14:3).

Jdg 16:5 The Philistine rulers went to Delilah and said, "Trick Samson into telling you what makes him so strong and what can make him weak. Then we can tie him up so he can't get away. If you find out his secret, we will each give you eleven hundred pieces of silver." CEV

Now he had set himself in such a precarious position, his enemies, who had tried too often to bind him, saw better chance to get him and they now patiently took good time to plan it all out.

May your enemies never see you in a precarious situation, in Jesus name.

Did you wonder with me that he was being monitored and everywhere he was, they knew and always tried to get him?

Jdg 16:1-2 One day Samson went to the Philistine city of Gaza, where he met a prostitute and went to bed with her. The people of Gaza FOUND OUT that Samson was there, so they surrounded the place and waited for him all night long at the city gate. They were quiet all night, thinking to themselves, "We'll wait until daybreak, and then we'll kill him." GNB

So, I thought with all the muscle in Samson’s head, there was enough brain to tell him that this SEASON with Delilah that all oppositions suddenly died down must mean something was cooking.

Pro 9:16-18 "WHOEVER IS GULLIBLE turn in here!" She says to a PERSON WITHOUT SENSE, "Stolen waters are sweet, and food eaten in secret is tasty." But HE DOES NOT KNOW that the souls of the dead are there, that her guests are in the depths of hell. GW

The truth is that Valleys limit Visions: you can’t see much going on around you till it comes tumbling down on you when you are in a valley. You hear distant noises but can’t see what’s coming.

Anyways, we are talking about those who really might want to be free but probably don’t know how to go about it.

It is evident that Samson never wanted freedom from his “free and easy” sex.

Jdg 16:15-16 Then Delilah said to Samson, "How can you say, 'I love you,' when you don't even trust me? You refuse to tell me your secret. This is the third time you made me look foolish. You haven't told me the secret of your great strength." She kept bothering Samson day after day. He got so tired of her asking him about his secret that he felt like he was going to die. ERV

This part that makes me afraid for Christians the most: Samson seem to be “resisting the devil here”, he was so fed up of her “request” that he felt like dying, but why have to hear her again?

Why didn’t he simply stop going to her in the valley; if he was bold enough to lie to her about his source of power, why not lie about not ever coming again?

There was now “attachment”: LOVE!

Rom 7:23-24 But in every part of me I discover something fighting against my mind, and IT MAKES ME A PRISONER of sin that controls everything I do. What a miserable person I am. Who will rescue me from this body that is doomed to die? CEV

Christians will fool themselves that they are fighting against sin but they are only bargaining for sins that permit less “scruples”.

You see, Samson was saying: “let’s just have the sin of illicit sex but not the sin of toying with divine secrets”.

How is that possible please?

Gen 39:10 She kept on talking to him like this day after day, but he wouldn't listen to her. Not only would he refuse to have sex with her, he refused even to stay around her. ISV

My beloved Joseph knew that as far as Potiphar’s wife was concerned, if we can’t have an affair, then even friendship will definitely be wrong, so he kept a distance from her.

That is a good FIGHT.

Since she also kept pressurizing him daily, and before things got out of his hand, God must have organized the shameful ordeal that followed to save His son from corruption of adultery.

Gen 39:19-20 And hearing his wife's account of what his servant had done, he became very angry. And Joseph's master took him and put him in prison, in the place where the king's prisoners were kept in chains, and he was there in the prison-house. BBE

This is another point where Christians fail with sin: the consideration that “if I’m trying to live above sin, then God should only bless me and let good things happen to me”.

They don’t want the prison.

Well, not everyone who confronts temptations end up in prison but there is no promise that you get “smooth” after you resist the devil.

The devil that left Jesus came back later, and eventually killed Him. He always comes back.

Mat 4:10-11 Then Jesus said to him, “Go away, Satan! For it is written: ‘You are to worship the Lord your God and serve only him.’” THEN THE DEVIL LEFT HIM, AND ANGELS CAME AND BEGAN MINISTERING TO HIS NEEDS. NET

Yes, angels may come and minister to you after you resist a temptation, but it could be in prison.

Gen 39:21 The LORD was with Joseph and continued to show his kindness to him, so the commander of the prison guards began to like Joseph. ERV

The strength you need to resist and be free, the Lord will grant you in Jesus name, Amen.

Let’s meet again on Friday for more on this subtopic.

Keep Shinning!

This is Sprout, a character for the upcoming Sentinel Comics RPG! She exists entirely because of my tendency to say “aw beans” whenever anything goes wrong. (You can blame Brian from the Letters Page Discord for this.)

Character notes, lies about publishing history, character backstory, and game mechanics (?) under the cut, with deepest apologies to mobile users.

Character Notes

Sprout’s real name is Jacqueline Stock. She was originally created in the 1960′s as a child character for children, then disappeared from comics for a long time before being “rebooted” as a young adult for modern comics. Sprout has no innate powers of her own, but she does have a slew of magic beans which she uses to solve problems and (eventually) fight crime. Most of them just grew vines really fast (and as a kid that was all they did), which she uses to trip, tie up, or otherwise incapacitate bad guys. She can get creative with these, such as using the vines as a climbing rope or a bridge, and they’re the type of beans she uses the most. Other types of beans include explosive beans, smoke beans, slippery beans, and sticky beans.

As a child, Jacqueline’s identity was kept secret via Clark Kenting: Jacqueline had hair that hung straight down, whereas Sprout had pigtails. Sprout also always had a bright green bandage on her somewhere. As an adult, Jacqueline keeps her identity secret by virtue of not having any friends in Megalopolis that aren’t also superheroes.

Publishing History (lies)

Sprout was originally a character created by a different comic publishing company. During her original run, she was a nine-year-old child and her comics were aimed at young children. She mostly solved “mysteries” (such as Someone Has Stolen The Class Pet) and served as a PSA/morality character (with such stories as Nobody Is Going To Her Favourite Candy Store Anymore And They Might Have To Close Because There Is An Untrue Rumor Being Spread About The Owner And This Is Why You Should Not Spread Rumors Kids). Seeing as they were comics aimed at young children, the language and plots were fairly simple. They were generally well-liked and popular among kids of the era.

Eventually she went from grade three to grade four, but her stories stayed mostly the same. Once she hit grade 5 (ten real-world years after her original release), she started actually fighting crime. Most of it was either low-level street crime (purse snatchers, cat burglars, etc.) or the occasional costumed supervillain. Her most notable supervillain was the Ant King, notable mostly because he was the only one who showed up more than once. (He’s a whole other story.)

During this time, Jacqueline’s backstory was never explained. The most the audience got was “she reads a lot and is very smart and also has magic vine-growing beans.” Her home life was mostly glossed over, as her comics tended to focus more on problems at her school and in her (fairly generic) community.

Around the mid-seventies, the company that published Sprout’s comics was going out of business, and Sentinel Comics bought the rights to Sprout, her comics, and her supporting cast. They didn’t really do anything with her right away, and Sprout sort of faded from the public consciousness up until Vengeance. There was a background shot where a character that looked like a mid-teen Sprout, straw hat and sundress and all, throwing something vine-like at a guy wearing a terrible ant costume and a crown. The people who grew up with her freaked out, thinking Sprout was back.

She was not.

Sprout wasn’t really seen in Sentinel Comics again until OblivAeon, where she was part of the Really Big Group Shot of Every Hero Ever and even got a focus panel during a montage of minor and alt-universe heroes fighting Aeon Men. In this one, she was throwing beans that appeared to be exploding. Again, the people who grew up with her (and the huge comic buffs) wondered if this meant she was coming back for real, but they’d been wrong once before, so they weren’t expecting much.

This time, however, she did actually come back. When the Freedom Plaza book(s) were announced, the release discussed some of the characters that would be appearing in the book, and one was Sprout. There was an Issue 0 for the book she would appear in, giving a basic overview of each character’s backstory and where they sit in Sentinel Comics as a whole. As Sprout didn’t have a backstory before, this was the first place her backstory was ever published.

Character Backstory

Jacqueline’s backstory in her original run wasn’t talked about. She was a cool kid who solved problems and captured criminals with her smarts and her beans.

In her Issue 0, she was given a full, fleshed out backstory. It was something of a riff on the story of Jack and the Beanstalk, playing off her name and magic beans.

Jacqueline Sprout grew up on a farm with her mom and older brother Jackson. They lived in a fairly small town, the sort of place where everybody knew everybody else. Every Saturday, Jacqueline’s parents took her and her brother down to the farmer’s market. Jacqueline’s job was to put people’s purchases in bags, but when she was in third grade her parents started letting her handle transactions (with supervision, of course).

One week, Jacqueline was handling a customer by herself while her family was busy with other customers. He was an old man with a funny hat and a nice smile. When she told him his total, he looked sadly at the few coins in his hand and said “Ah, it seems I’m a little short. But I’ll tell you what.” He pulled a small pouch from a pocket of the long coat he was wearing. “In this pouch are some magic beans. I’ll give them to you in exchange for your fine produce.”

Jacqueline, being a fairly gullible child and having read the story of Jack and the Beanstalk, immediately accepted. By the time her parents realised what she had done, the old man was long gone and Jacqueline was gushing proudly about how she was going to climb to the sky and fight a giant. They flipped out, she was lectured for a very long time, and she wasn’t allowed to handle purchases by herself until she was sixteen.

When they got home that day, Jacqueline immediately planted the “magic beans” in a pot next to her bedroom window. By the next morning, they had already sprouted, and while she was disappointed that they hadn’t grown to the sky overnight like in the story, that was still incredibly fast. They were producing more kidney bean sized beans within a few days. Jacqueline started harvesting them, and accidentally dropped one on the ground. Upon impact, vines started to grow from it. She freaked out, but they stopped fairly quickly, and she destroyed the evidence before her family found out. She kept the harvested beans in jars under her bed. After a while, she started using them to solve problems at school and in her community under the secret identity of Sprout.

As she got older, Jacqueline started to wonder if there were other things she could do with the beans. She began to experiment with them. She did research into genetically modifying plants, and when that turned out to be not viable from home she turned to alchemy. She set up a basic, makeshift alchemist’s lab in her closet, keeping it locked when not in use. After a lot of trial and error (a lot of error) she managed to create several different types of beans with different abilities.

After graduating from high school, she moved to Megalopolis to attend university. She was going for her Bachelor of Science in Agriculture. Jacqueline said it was so she could take over the Stock family farm one day, but mostly it was to find new and interesting ways to improve her bean alchemy. Sprout used her beans to help fight against Aeon Men, and when she heard about the Sentinels of Freedom and Freedom Plaza, she jumped at the chance for more ways to learn about the beans she grows and how she can use them to help people.

Game Mechanics (?)

Since we don’t currently have access to full character creation rules, I’m just throwing things around based on what we do know about character creation. Full character sheet stuff will be put here once we have access to the rules.

Power Source: either Nature, Mystical, or Experimentation

Archetype: Alchemist

Personality: Cheerful

Background: Farmer?

Principle of the Alchemist: The first law of alchemy states that to gain something, something of equal value must be lost

Principle of the Green Thumb: You grew up taking care of plants to the point where you know almost everything there is to know about them.

50 or 55 for sonuckles!

send me a number and a ship! - #50: “Be you. No one else can.” [REQUESTS CLOSED]

I chose 50! This one got a bit long and I decided to go with second person because it’s been a while.

You are, of course, not used to being mortified. Usually, you’re in control of everything, and if you’re not, you can shrug everything off with a shrug of your shoulders and a smile. It’s the Sonic way, to refuse to let anything bother you. And it’s made your life a lot easier, especially now that you find yourself all knotted up with Knuckles in this weird, new territory. It’s all warm, mushy feelings and raw openness—just the other day Knuckles left you alone with the Master Emerald, which is the biggest gesture of trust that you’ve ever experienced. He just, left you, trusted you not to break it or lose it or do anything to it, and that’s huge; the Emerald is Knuckles’s most important thing, and he leaves no one alone with it. Ever.

So, you’re dealing with that with all the grace of a drunk elephant in a glassblower’s workshop. Which is to say: poorly. You’re used to whirlwinds and speed, but this feels different, feels like a tornado or a hurricane in this devastation—the realization that someone loves you that much, that you love him that much (because when he left you alone, you felt the weight of that responsibility so heavily that it sat you down. You realized you would have died for the Emerald just then, or perhaps you would have died for Knuckles’s hard-won trust, this admittance of how much he loves and respects you, to leave you with what amounts to his child)—because something like love, something that’s this hard and fast, it feels devastating in its natural force.

But the mortification? That’s different. That’s something newer, something that blindsides you as you appear in the Workshop for the first time in a week (sandstorm in Shamar, got you lost, got you finding an ancient treasure, got you keeping it safe from Eggman, got you returning it to the local museum after you fought off a burrowing sandworm, got you a few headlines), and there’s Knuckles and Tails, in the middle of what looks to be spring cleaning (windows open, smells of lemon, books organized, things scattered into trash and donate piles), with the TV on, a DVD in, the DVD paused, and there’s your own younger face, smiling, one hand held up, with subtitles that say: Grass is crass! Say no to drugs!

(Distantly, you realize that Tails found the old DVDs shoved deep, deep, deep under your bed. The only artifacts from a time when you were desperate for money and agreed to film a few anti-drug PSAs for the United Federation. They played in gym classes across the world eventually, but you only ever watched them once before you shoved your copies are far into the nether realm under your bed as possible.)

Instant mortification. It’s just a snap of the fingers and you’re red hot with shame and humiliation. It’s not because of Tails, or because you had a good reason and a good cause; it’s because of Knuckles, sitting so nicely with his legs crossed, looking back at you with this wide-eyed expression. He probably doesn’t know what anti-drug PSAs are, possibly doesn’t know what drugs are, because he didn’t grow up on the surface, which makes it so much worse because either Tails explained it to him in the blunt, crass way of the intelligent, or you are about to have to, painfully, clarify exactly what he’s watching.

“I thought I imagined this,” Tails says brightly as he moves to hit the play button on the remote. You panic and zip across the room, snap it from Tails with all the speed you can muster, and, with only a bit of hesitation, throw it out the open window.

“Sonic!” Tails cries, disbelieving, while Knuckles’s face breaks into a huge grin, the type of grin that he usually wears when you’re being particularly indignant, panicky, or stupid.

“Oops,” you say, deadpan, as you cast a weary glance toward the window. “Tails, could you go get that?”

Tails knows the game, knows that he’s gone too far this time in his eternal brotherly quest to embarrass you at every opportunity, and he knows he’s been had. Quietly, he disappears outside, going the long way around as penance for his misdeeds. Knuckles, meanwhile, looks smug, and you refuse to look at him until you hear the door close as Tails heads outside.

Here's the thing about mortification: you don’t let it survive for long. Instead, you turn it into something constructive, like a speech, or a learning opportunity, or, in this case, damage control.

“How much did you see?” you ask as you put your hands on your hips. It’s a typical Sonic-move, standing tall and proud in the face of adversity, even if the adversity this time is just your gullible, unforgetting boyfriend finding out about something embarrassing you did the past.

“Enough,” Knuckles answers and he leans forward to press the play button the DVD player. On the screen, your mouth begins to move, but you refuse to listen. Instead, you blitz forward again and smack the stop button. Two can play that game.

“Do you like to watch me suffer?” you demand dramatically when he tries to push forward again to play it. He’s stronger than you, so he easily beats your swinging, straining arms, and the DVD starts over. The first PSA is one about individuality, something something there’s only one you, and it’s particularly cringe-worthy.

“It’s fun,” Knuckles says, an answer to your theatrical wail. Then, just to add insult to injury, he grabs you around the middle to keep you from lunging at the stop button again. Knuckles pins you to his chest, and you can feel his heart against your own, his stomaching moving shallowly with his breathing, and when he laughs, it reverberates through your whole body. It’s entirely unfair, this position with your back to the TV, so distracted by the sheer physicality of Knuckles that you can’t think to try to get free.

“Be you,” Knuckles says in time with the Sonic on the television. “No one else can.”

You push yourself away from him with your hands on his shoulders so you can look him dead in the eye. “How many times have you watched this?”

He laughs, and it feels like that time he left you alone on the Island, the devastating effect of it. You feel weak. “Enough,” Knuckles answers. “Once,” he continues. “It’s very catchy.”

You groan and hide your smile in his shoulder. On the television, the other Sonic grins and coughs and says something about being true.

#sth #sonuckles #sonic the hedgehog #knuckles the echidna #ashe writes #drabbles #i love second person #you can take it from my cold dead hands #ask #anon #long post

Supreme Court issues notice to Jammu and Kashmir to respond to Sara Abdullah’s plea challenging brother Omar’s detention - india news

The Supreme Court asked Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir to respond to the petition filed by Sara Abdullah Pilot challenging detention of her brother and former chief minister Omar Abdullah.The administration has to respond by March 2, the next date of hearing.Plea by senior counsel Kapil Sibal, appearing for Sara Abdullah Pilot, to have the case on an earlier date was turned down by the bench of justices Arun Mishra and Indira Banerjee.“It is a Habeas Corpus petition My Lord. Please have it next week,” said Sibal.“No no. We cannot have it next week. Why did you wait for a year (to move the court)?” remarked justice Mishra.“We were hopeful that, as this is a habeas corpus case, the relief would be sooner. But we have full faith in the justice system. We’re here because we want that all Kashmiris should have the same rights as all citizen of India and we’re waiting for that day,” Sara Abdullah said after the hearing.Omar Abdullah, 49, was booked under the Jammu and Kashmir Public Safety Act (PSA) on February 5, which allows authorities to detain a person without trial for a maximum period of two years. Abdullah, was earlier detained in August 2019, when the central government had scrapped Article 370 and placed Kashmir valley in a state of lockdown. His detention in 2019 was under Section 107 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) which empowers executive magistrate to order a person to execute bonds “for keeping the peace”. Omar Abdullah’s detention was set to expire this month, but a new order under PSA has extended it further.Abdullah, who was the chief minister of J&K from 2009 to 2014, was accused of “favouring radical thoughts” and of “planning and projecting his activities against the Union of India under the guise of politic” while enjoying the support of gullible masses”. It was alleged that after revocation of Article 370, he instigated people on social media sites to undermine the unity and integrity of India.His sister rushed to the Supreme Court against the detention order arguing that Omar Abdullah was a votary of peace and there was overwhelming evidence in the form of tweets and public statements to prove the same.Sara Abdullah Pilot also extensively quoted from the government’s dossier on the former chief minister that formed part of the material which formed the administration’s decision to issue the detention order. The detention order, she claimed, is vague and irrelevant without any material facts and particulars.Further, it was her argument that none of the grounds in the detention order disclose as to precisely which prohibited action listed in Section 8(3)(b) of the PSA was committed or likely to be committed by Abdullah.
