#IdrisKhattak has rendered tremendous services to the cause of human rights by steadfastly pursuing the cases of missing persons. Instead of recognition for his services to humanity, he was sentenced to 14 years in prison. #ReleaseIdrisKhattak

3 years ago human rights defender Idris Khattak was forcibly disappeared. He remained missing for months before his secret trial in a military court.
