The Issue

Honorable world leaders: 

 Please help us find the whereabouts of Ahmed Mustafa Kanjoo, a peace loving citizen of Pakistan, an activist and a blogger who traveled around the world sharing love and happiness with ordinary people of more than 50 countries.  His last known travel was to India. He returned from India on Jan 5th and crossed border into Lahore, Pakistan. On Jan 7th, 2019,  his house in Rahim Yar Khan(Punjab) was raided, ransacked by plain clothed goons along with Police. He was verbally abused and beaten harshly by these unknown people  and was loaded into an  unmarked vehicle. His ailing mother was not spared either and was physically handled.  The local Policemen who were protecting these unknown people, were unable to explain anything.  Since then, every attempt to locate him has been in vain. The Police, local administration refused to give out any information. An FIR was entered by they are unable to produce Mr. Kanjoo in the court. Meanwhile, Kanjoo's uncle is being threatened by the ISI operatives to keep his mouth shut or he will be disappeared too.   Lies are  being spread thru social media citing Kanjoos posts that he may have committed blasphemy against the prophet of Islam.  It has been over 3 months and authorities are unable to give any explanation. Meanwhile, his young child and mother are devastated. No one can give any answer. 

Despite the fact Pakistan recognized the UN committee on Force Disappearances and is obliged to report all violations, but the government has not taken any action. We demand the immediate release of Mr. Kanjoo. Keeping him in custody without charging him of any crime is blatant violation of his rights.
