Dear all,
A seminar about Missing people is planned for 23 March. 3pm in Lahore. Mrs. Amna Janjua will address this seminar. Mrs. Janjua has collected the relatives of the missing persons under the banner of an organisation called "Defence of Human Rights". Their aim is simple - recovery of their loved ones as soon as possible. Many of them have lived in a horrible state of uncertainty and fear for four or five years already. Some of them have been reduced to a sad state of poverty because the earning member of the family has been taken away.
Venue:
HRCP Auditorium, near Kalma Chowk, Lahore
(those in Lahore), MUST attend this seminar.
Details:
We hope to be able to help them with this campaign when they visit Lahore. We would like the maximum number of people to hear the stories of these victims of arbitrary state-aggression so that people understand that not all those "picked up by the agencies" are terrorists or extremists - and more importantly, that even if they are suspects, they deserve due process and the chance to defend themselves the same way that any other suspect (accused of theft or murder or fraud) is entitled to under our Constitution.
Please also forward this to your address book and try to convince your friends to attend.
P.S. It is also planned to screen portions of the documentary film "Missing in Pakistan" on this occasion as it would help to explain the context of the talk.
