Enforced Disappearances in Pakistan
July 24th, 2008 by Adam
Amnesty International recently released a report detailing enforced disappearances in Pakistan. The report cites 563 cases of enforced disappearances and states that the Pakistani government obstructed efforts to find those who disappeared. Amnesty International says most of the disappearances were conducted with the complicity of the security and intelligence forces, usually under the pretext of terrorism related charges. To remedy this violation of human rights, the report suggests that Pakistan reinstate judges that demanded answers on disappearances and fully account for all those who have disappeared.
