The British government is refusing to grant visas to three Pakistani drone strike victims, including Noor Khan, who is suing the UK over its role in intelligence-sharing with the CIA. All three men had been invited to speak at a Parliamentary meeting on drones that was scheduled to take place today. Last week, the Rehman family - whose grandmother was killed in a drone strike - travelled to the US to speak at a drone strike having been granted visas.

While the Pakistan government feels the peace talks were torpedoed by last week’s drone strike killing Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) leader Hakimullah Mehsud, Farooq Sattar of the Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) struck a different note. He told the National Assembly on Tuesday that talks should not be linked to drone strikes and Mehsud should not be made a martyr.

When drone strike victims Rafiq ur Rehman and his children Nabila, 9, and Zubair, 13, travelled all the way from Pakistan to testify before Congress on the destruction wrought by the US drone strike program, nobody listened. Or at least precious few did. Only five members of Capital Hill showed up to hear their story, reportsTruth-Out's Rania Khalek.

Late October 2012, Nabila Rehman and her family were working in the vast fields in Northern Waziristan (northwestern Pakistan). It was just a few days before Eid Al-Adha, a festive holiday where Muslims honor the willingness of Abraham to sacrifice his son Ismail as a sign of submission to God. God would intervene and provide a lamb for sacrifice. As one of the two holidays of Islam, Eid Al-Adha is a time where Muslims celebrate with family and the community and give in charity. In preparation for this holiday, Nabila's grandmother, Momina Bibi, was teaching her and her siblings how to pick okra. But a haunting buzzing sound filled the jovial mountain air. This horrifying sound is all too familiar to rural Pakistanis. It is the sound of CIA-operated drones and the sound of what would become a nightmare to Nabila and her family. The drone attacked the Rehman family and left several children wounded and Momina dead.

At each of the over 200 cities I’ve traveled to this past year with my book Drone Warfare: Killing by Remote Control, I ask the audience an easy question: Have they ever seen or heard from drone strike victims in the mainstream US press? Not one hand has ever gone up. This is an obvious indication that the media has failed to do its job of humanizing the civilian casualties that accompany President Obama’s deadly drone program.

Nabila ur-Rehman, 9, is a survivor of the U.S. drone attack that took place in her neighborhood in North Waziristan, Pakistan. According to CNN, Nabila lost her grandmother Momina, who was killed by this drone. Nabila recently visited Washington along with her brother Zubair, 9, and her father Rafiq to appeal against the drone strikes in front of Congress.

President Barack Obama’s use of drone strikes abroad is a polarizing debate, and the legality and secrecy of the strikes is often called into question by lawmakers. The public’s top concern over the strikes, according to the Pew Research Center, is the potential endangerment of civilians’ lives.
