Theres 2 also my brother has been missing since 2017 and since then my mother self has deteriorated were worried about our health we demand Pakistans Army chief to help us in his recovery as promised by his. Prime minister imran khan was a vocal critic of enforced disappearances while in political opposition after being elected in 2018 he approved a draft law criminalizing the practice but to muse later the law still has not been presented to parliament for approval it is absolutely shame for that after 2010 there was a report of the National Commission on it forced to simply and insist. Elected government has enforced are implemented any of its recommended pakistans minister of human rights offers no explanation why its taking so long to pass the law. And that was why we need more and more on this one from the government in fact. That. This new. Bill is ready to be put on the bill this is a pretty Forward Focus on the whole dont want to be government but even father feel. That this needs to get what they wanted to tell him that he missed made a video as part of the familys campaign demanding more information about their missing father in a rare acknowledgement of an enforced disappearance the military has confirmed that to address is facing charges on the pakistans secrets act the family have filed a petition in the high court ordering the government to tell them where he is so far they have heard nothing they are increasingly afraid about the safety of a man they say has for years worked tirelessly to improve human rights in pakistan stratford al jazeera. Lets bring in riddle modine who joins me now from colombo in struggling because she is a south asia campaigner with Amnesty International good to have you with us on the program how problematic is this sort of occurrence becoming not just in pakistan but in countries across this particular part of the region hi thank you so much for having me so inforce disappearances are certainly something that because theyre shouted in secrecy were never going to have an idea of the exact numbers of what actually how many people have disappeared especially in box and across the region but in boxes then we see that its very much an ongoing phenomenon or it is something that we see almost daily reports and it doesnt really show any signs of relenting and in sri lanka weve seen that its sort of moved on to looking at it as if its at a Transitional Justice where theyre not ongoing but families are still waiting for justice but i think the most critical number that really sort of defined the phenomenon of the forces advances in south asia is the number 0 which is the number of prosecutions that uptick that is one of the biggest reasons why continues to happen with the force that it does 2 things that its more prevalent in countries that have had a history of of military rule and its difficult perhaps full to civilian Network Legal jurisdiction scenario to assert itself when a country has been so entrenched in military lifestyle to countries like syria and to countries like certainly pakistan. I think that its its one of those situations where it really has long if the political will doesnt exist it doesnt really matter what the background wants of how the government is functioning the how entrenched they were in the military if there is because as we see that even if a democratically elected government spent this important brands its continued to happen really and thats the and and even in sri lanka of course weve had civilian governments that have decided that this weve seen in the bar that has been the case weve seen that in media that continues to happen so its really just they dont have the political will and if thats if the act itself is not criminalized to continue on of that but i would say that if you dont have the political will but the fact is that the civilian government certainly in pakistan is off the been influenced by a very Strong Military in the shadows always willing to step in if they dont like those civilian governments what would then ask if you have journalists who are being abducted in a country like pakistan where people live on the breadline why would ordinary civilians come out onto the streets to support the abduction you might say protest of of journalists who have been abducted when theyre trying to actually survive themselves on a day to day basis is a big ask isnt it really for because sometimes public pressure works. I think that one of the biggest reasons why prosecutions are so important for the forces there and its because without them the message that is sent to the masses or to people is that whoever is disappeared must have done something wrong and i think if that is debunked then you will see a lot of political will because the public pressure will continue to rise and thats something that i think that we definitely need to work on those human rights organizations its not just i missed it Amnesty International but in april 2020 the committee to protect journalists wrote an open letter to 7 asian leaders demanding journalists jailed writings or doing their job be released all such moves by organized organizations like you or the or the c p j dorothy effective do they work who listens to you and what sort of moves will you make now from this particular report living forward. I think they make a huge difference because it shows them that someone is watching weve seen that and then pakistan and forces abandon the jake ive been completely characterized by a culture of impunity and one of the reasons why that happens is that theres a lot of people simply either are not aware of this happening or when it does happen when there are is news that they get stifled and they cant really talk about so thats where rules thats where organizations like the jet and this International Like Human Rights Watch they have to step in because we can actually show them that someone is watching and that we have and they are at least being held to account and the court of public law and the court of Public Opinion or just a very very critical indeed we shall see what does happen for the moment to remove joining us from colombo thanks so much thank you. At least 29 people have died after a restaurant collapsed in northern china dozens of survivors were pulled out of the rubble by rescuers including 7 with serious injuries an investigation into the collapse of the 2 Story Building in the intensity is underway.

D. M. Under the was going on and thats these are people that we can assume as coronavirus skeptics have taken no precautions in recent months in a time when infection numbers are increasing we dont believe these gatherings to be responsible.

Is a sense of injustice and rights being lost demonstrations like these pose this countrys politicians a serious ethical dilemma forcing them to balance on the one hand the rights of individuals to protest against government measures with which they disagree and on the other hand the rights of the Wider Community to be protected as far as possible from the risk of corona virus infection its a risk ministers say is growing blame is its roots in war the problem is the numbers are too high too early given that winter is coming and we dont currently know what effect it will have and hell the flu and other illnesses will affect it the numbers are too high at this early stage.
