Jibran Nasir, a well-known rights activist and lawyer, has gone missing after unidentified armed men cornered his vehicle and abducted him from near his residence in Karachi’s DHA on Thursday night. There were 15 men with pistols and they took away my husband forcibly,” Pasha said in her video statement. Nasir, a former independent candidate in the 2018 general elections from Karachi, has criticised the recent state crackdown on the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party and legal proceedings concerning individuals allegedly involved in riots. Some of us, including Jibran, have been trying to warn for months that this wave of repression would not stop at PTI.
