The Muttahida Qaumi Movement went to the Sindh High Court on Tuesday, against the alleged enforced disappearances of its activists and workers at the hands of the law enforcing agencies.
The party through its leader, Dr Farooq Sattar, took the federal interior ministry, Sindh home secretary, Inspector General of Police and the Director General of Rangers, to the court. Sattar submitted in his plea that many of the party’s activists had been picked up by the law enforcers from different parts of Karachi recently.
All the detainees, including Faheem Riaz, Farooq Ahmed, Zeeshan Gul, Usman Ahmed, Saeed, Aftab Alam, Asif Khan, Arshad and Ayaz Hussain, are being kept in unlawful confinement but their locations have not being disclosed, he added. The MQM leader apprehended that the law enforcers might extract false confessional statements from the detainees to launch an operation against the party.
He pleaded to the court to direct the ministries, police and Rangers to bring the detainees to court.
