Hi, I just want to put this out there because I recently got the courage to do so and I'm gonna go right up ahead and say it. Hassan Ali is a really problematic person. To clarify, this is the Hassan Ali that was in SICAS, then Roots Ivy and in University College Lahore recently.

I was his friend and so, I believed him to be a good person until recently. He is not a good person. Only after talking to a few friends of mine I learned that I'm not the only one who thought so. And now that I have the strength to say it, here's why:

1) He harassed me. This was a while ago but I just couldn't process it until recently. He was kind of a close friend of mine and he did some things he shouldn't have. I am not comfortable going into detail because then he will know who I am because I am sure he knows

what he has done. What I will say, though, is that he proceeded to do certain things even when told "no" repeatedly. I recall 4-5 incidents quite clearly when things like this happened. No, he did not rape me but it was sexual assault nonetheless.

It took me a while to process this because I genuinely thought he was a decent guy. And this bring me to the second problem:

2) He is deceptive and emotionally quite manipulative. On the outside you will never know what kind of man he is but he is fucked up on the inside. On the front he is a sweet, caring, genuine person but in reality he is a pathetic excuse for a human being.

I know a few other girls who have said the same "lagta tou yeh bilkul bhi aisa nahi tha lekin dekho nikla kaisa" and I can testify to that. It is also why I kept thinking I'm making this up in my head because if you meet him he will come off as a wonderful guy at first

and it takes maybe 6 months or a year or even more to see him for what he is. And he is a piece of shit. He really is. And for anyone who has been a victim of this manipulation as well, I am sorry.

I'm doing this anonymously because I do not have the mental strength to face society right now and all the backlash I will face because I am a woman in this society. But I have first-hand witnessed the really problematic behavior of this man.

I am coming out with this now because another girl I know told me of a similar incident she faced with this guy and it made me realize that it's not really all in my head. That my "friend" is actually an asshole. The only reason I am doing this is so it gives other women strength

Strength to speak up, like another girl speaking up about it gave me the strength. To all his friends and acquaintances, now you know who he is. For anyone who has been through a similar experience, I am sorry and you can talk to me about it, always.

If you are comfortable sharing your story, I'll post it on the thread and it'll be fully confidential because, trust me, I know how hard it is and I am here to support you in whatever way I can. We are all here to listen.

And for all those reading this and deciding to come at me: firstly, this was extremely difficult for me to do so stay the hell away and secondly, pass me through a polygraph for all I care because I swear on everything I hold sacred what I have said is nothing but the truth.
