Today marks 17 years since the disappearance of Masood Janjua an educator and businessman of Rawalpindi. He disappeared on his way along with friend Faisal Faraz on 30th July 2005. #Freedom4Masood #EndEnforcedDisappearance
Since then, his wife Amina Masood Janjua has become the face of the disappearances in Pakistan through her organisation Defence for Human Rights. Learn more about her unrelenting campaign in her interview with Asim Qureshi cage.ngo
On the day of the disappearance, @AminaMJanjua and her 3 children experienced the loss of a loving husband and father. Listen to her heartfelt testimony at CAGE's International Witness Campaign conference: youtu.be
Many former detainees testify seeing Masood in Pakistani detention centres However the Gov denies knowledge of his whereabouts This has been challenged in a high-profile case which has been pending before the Supreme Court of Pakistan for many years #JusticeDelayedIsJusticeDenied
We ask the public to demand that the authorities in Pakistan release Masood Janjua & others who have forcibly disappeared. #EndEnforcedDisappearance
"This is the worst thing to happen to anyone. If someone dies you cry and people console you and after some time you come to terms with it but if someone disappearsβ¦ it is the bitterest of agonies.β [September 2006]
