At least 1,500 Arrested in Iran as State Intensifies Domestic Crackdown

This is not a security state. This is an abduction factory. 10,000 plus disappearances, zero prosecutions, fake encounters sold as bravery, laws twisted to jail critics, and families left to rot in silence.

is part of the 2,122 other unresolved cases still pending against the Pakistani state. Additionally, the International Commission of Jurists ( #ICJ ) says that #EnforcedDisappearances in Pakistan are no longer restricted to conflict zones alone, but it is “a tactic for suppressing dissenting voices wherever they are present”, and #IdrisKhattak was one such voice.

His brother, Dr. Owais Khattak has filed a case in the #PeshawarHighCourt after the kidnapping.
