Pakistani-Americans have expressed their concern over the recent disappearance of activists and bloggers in Pakistan. Prominent Activist and bloggers known for their controversial political and religious views have gone missing in the past week.
Salman Haider, a prominent activist went missing on the evening of January 6th in the Pakistani capital of Islamabad. Within hours of his abduction several other activists including Goraya, Aasim Saeed, and Ahmed Raza Naseer also went missing.
“ We, the members of AdvoPak, a DC-based local group focusing on peace in Pakistan, are appalled at the recent disappearances of activists in Pakistan. We urge the Government of Pakistan to take immediate action and use every possible means to ensure safe and quick return of all activists. The Government should also create an environment where people in general and activists, journalists and lawyers are not afraid to express their views ” said Zaineb Majoka, founder of AdvoPak.
Advopak is also organizing a letter writing campaign in Washington D.C. in support of the missing activists. The letters will be hand delivered to the Pakistani Ambassador to the U.S.
For God's sake where is Pakistan is heading to? Using religion of Islam to silence and harash people. It is the responsibility of any civilize government to protect the life and properties of its citizens irrespective of any religion one may be professing and practising, as long as the adherents of any religion do not disturb the peace of the country. Religion is between individual and his/her creator.Pakistan has become a lawlessness nation where it is the religious clerics that are dictating to the goverment and taking law into their hands. Their disappearance has to do with religious coloration! Pakistan goverment must produce these activits within reasonable time
Almighty Allah will protect and keep them safe whereever they may be and He will disgrace and destroy their abductors.Allah will protect Pakistan from bigotry Mullahs and save all peace loving citizens of that country
