Quotes by Ausma Zehanat Khan (?)

“If one could be enraged by the loss of a favorite sports team, shouldn't his anger rise at the entrenchment of a scheme whereby no innocent person was safe, where self-determination was a crime punished by the vagaries of an opaque & impervious justice system?”
― Ausma Zehanat Khan, Among the Ruins

tags: anger, injustice, justice

“....in Bosnia, mass rape was a policy of the war, systematically carried out, implicating neighbors, paramilitaries, soldiers.”
― Ausma Zehanat Khan, The Unquiet Dead

― Ausma Zehanat Khan, The Language of Secrets
