The Joint Action Committee for Missing Shia Persons has demanded that if missing persons are in the custody of institutions, they should be produced in courts of law.
Addressing a press conference at the Karachi Press Club on Friday, committee representatives said enforced disappearances of citizens in a democratic state were a slap in the face of law and justice.
The sense of lawlessness and insecurity was deepening due to disappearances from homes, they said, adding that the rule of law was not possible through mere verbal claims. They said their patience was running thin, and the committee would declare a perpetual hunger strike in various cities if their demand for the safe recovery of missing persons was not met immediately.
