Reproducing below the letter sent by the Women’s Action Forum letter to the Chief Justice, Supreme Court of Pakistan about the “disappeared”Ā activists and the deliberate and sustained campaign against them in the media and on social media. This campaign, with itsĀ accusations of blasphemy and treason being leveled against the missing activists and those campaigning for their safe recovery poses a danger to those missing, their families and the human rights campaigners.
WAF urges thatĀ the state, its institutions and agencies be held responsible for the recovery of the missing bloggers/activists and inform what the investigation has yielded, and thatĀ the federation be held answerable for non-compliance of SC orders on the issue of enforced disappearances.
