Pakistani journalist Jasmeen Manzoor shares images of domestic abuse, calls out ex-husband: ‘Life destroyed'
Pakistani journalist and television anchor Jasmeen Manzoor has gone public with disturbing allegations of domestic violence, sharing graphic images of her injuries on social media. In a series of emotional posts shared on X early Wednesday, Manzoor accused her ex-husband of physically assaulting her, revealing a deeply personal and painful chapter of her life. One of the images showed visible bruising and swelling around her right eye. Alongside it, she wrote: 'This is me. Yes, this is my story — my life destroyed by a violent man. I leave my justice to my Allah.' In another post, Manzoor spoke about the emotional toll of domestic abuse and the betrayal she experienced. 'This can happen to anyone. No one is safe, even in the safety of your house. The most dangerous people are the ones you trust blindly,' she wrote. Without naming her ex-husband directly, she made it clear who she was referring to: 'This is me, gifted by my ex-husband.' She also addressed the internal struggle of deciding whether to go public with her story. 'I kept thinking for so long whether I should share this with the public or not. But I want to show the courage to share this, so we can all unite against this kind of behaviour and for the government authorities to open their eyes.' Manzoor's courageous posts quickly gained attention online, with thousands expressing outrage and support. A user wrote, 'Kudos to you. Women should stand against violence no matter who, where. This needs courage.' Another user commented, 'You did right by sharing, such monsters are not to be forgiven or ignored and best is to expose them.' Third wrote, 'If a woman of your stature could be treated like this imagine what these animals would do with a common girl!' In a follow-up, she hinted at having documented multiple instances of abuse: 'There will always be haters. Don't blame them — it's their failure in life that puts them in this spot.

Financial ombudsman rebuked by MPs over handling of ex-chief's ‘dismissal'
In a report published on Monday, the Commons Treasury Committee criticised Baroness Manzoor for declining to answer its questions about the ousting of Abby Thomas from her role in February. The peer and chairwoman had been asked by MPs to explain why Ms Thomas had stepped down from her role as chief executive of the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) and whether any severance package was agreed. She declined to do so, saying only that the move had been a 'mutual agreement' and citing her 'duties to safeguard the wellbeing of our employees' and 'protect the interests' of the ombudsman service. In a letter to the committee on February 19, Baroness Manzoor claimed that 'as a member of the House of Lords, I cannot be required either to attend before the committee, or or to answer its questions,' the report says. In Monday's report, MPs said that 'although this argument was strictly true' because Commons committees have no power to compel the Lords, 'it was unnecessary and disrespectful'. Following Baroness Manzoor's letter, the committee ordered the FOS to submit details of any severance deal or financial package and any confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement negotiated between the service and Ms Thomas. Although the FOS complied with the order, the committee has not published the details, claiming its decision not to do so reflects 'our awareness of the need to balance transparency against fairness to individuals.' In its report, the committee sums up the reason for Ms Thomas' dismissal as a 'collapse in confidence' driven by 'fundamental disagreements' over strategy and operations between the board and the former chief executive. 'This collapse in confidence covered a broad range of issues and was not driven by a single event or topic,' it says. 'The mutual collapse in confidence led the FOS Board to dismiss Abby Thomas.' Treasury Committee chairwoman Dame Meg Hillier said the service's failure to block Commons scrutiny should send a 'clear message' to others seeking to frustrate the process. 'I'm afraid that the handling of this situation by the senior leadership of the Financial Ombudsman Service has been deeply disappointing,' she said. 'The attempt to frustrate a House of Commons Committee from scrutinising the actions of a publicly accountable organisation ultimately proved unsuccessful. 'I hope this sends a clear message to any organisation considering similar action in future that Members of the House of Commons will have answers to the questions they ask on behalf of the British public, whether senior officials attempt to block them or not.' Baroness Manzoor said: 'I highly value the Treasury Select Committee and the important role it plays in holding the financial sector to account. 'I am committed to providing open and transparent evidence to the committee, but there are rare instances when that can be difficult – particularly when it relates to employment matters. 'I have always treated the committee with the utmost seriousness and respect, and I know the Financial Ombudsman Service will continue to work closely with them in the future.'
