Sindh CM Takes Notice Of Rights Activist Jibran Nasir’s ‘Abduction’

Published on

Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah has taken notice of the abduction of lawyer and human rights activist Jibran Nasir, whose whereabouts remain unknown since last night after he was picked up by “unidentified men”.

In a video message, Jibran Nasir’s wife, Mansha Pasha, had said that around 15 men in plain clothes with pistols surrounded their vehicle when they were on their way home after dinner at 11pm yesterday and took Jibran Nasir forcefully.

The Sindh chief minister has taken notice of the incident today and Inspector General Police (IGP) to submit a report on the matter.

The IGP has also been instructed to take all necessary steps to ensure the activist’s earliest possible recovery.

Civil society has condemned the rights activist’s abduction, demanding his immediate release.

Jibran Nasir contested the 2018 general elections from Karachi as an independent candidate, and is a human rights activist. He has been vocal in his criticism of the recent state crackdown on the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) workers following their attack on civil and military installations on May 9 to protest the arrest of former prime minister Imran Khan. He was listed in 2013 by the Foreign Policy Magazine amongst three Pakistanis doing inspirational work against sectarian violence.
