Families of Pakistani 'missing people' continue sit-in demonstration
Islamabad: Families of Pakistani Shia Muslim persons hold a sit-in at Mehfil Shah-i-Khorasan, off Numaish Chowrangi, and near the Mazar-i-Quaid under the auspices of the Joint Action Committee for Shia Missing Persons in Pakistan's Karachi city on Friday.
Zaheera from Gulistan-i-Jauhar told Dawn News that her 22-year-old son, Wahid Hussain, went missing on March 21, 2018.
“My son had applied to the army and had even cleared all their tests. While he waited for his letter to come from there he was driving a loading pickup truck to earn some money and supplement the household income. He went missing along with the pickup truck. The truck was recovered three months later but not my son. Two days ago completed three full years of his going missing,” she told the newspaper.
Farhat Fatima told the Pakistani newspaper that her son Syed Ibad-ul-Hasan Rizvi went missing in 2017.
Meanwhile, the families of the missing people said their sit-in will continue till the recovery of their people.
