Lawyer and rights activist Jibran Nasir has been picked up in Karachi, his wife Mansha Pasha told Dawn.com late Thursday night.
Pasha said they were coming home after dinner when a white Vigo, with registration number BF4356, intercepted their vehicle as they entered their lane and forced them to stop.
“Around 15 men in plain clothes with pistols surrounded our vehicle and took Jibran forcefully,” she added, requesting for prayers for his recovery.
The family is filing a complaint with the police, she told Dawn.com.
Nasir, who contested the 2018 general elections from Karachi as an independent candidate, has been vocal in his criticism of the recent state crackdown on the PTI and as well as the legal process involving those who allegedly took part in the riots. He was listed in 2013 by the Foreign Policy Magazine amongst three Pakistanis doing inspirational work against sectarian violence.
