Amnesty International called on the Pakistan government to reveal the fate and whereabouts of hundreds of disappeared people, amid international protests to mark the 25th International Day of the Disappeared on Saturday 30 August.
Amina Janjua, the founder of Defence of Human Rights, a Pakistani
organisation that campaigns for the release of the disappeared, was
joined by Amnesty International activists to demonstrate outside the
Pakistani High Commission in London. They chanted “Justice now for the
disappeared” and handed over a petition. The demonstration marked the
start of an international tour by Amina Janjua, supported by Amnesty
International.
