“Recently occurred incidents of enforced disappearance of Shia Muslims youth in Karachi, Kurram and other areas of Pakistan are not reported in international media. Pakistan’s English mainstream media and digital media having vast outreach didn’t projects the cases of enforced disappearances of Shia Muslims as they do the such cases of other ethnic and religious groups”, Said Qaisar Abbas a Southern Punjab based human rights activist and Lawyer, who are pleading the cases of many Shia Muslims victims of Blasphemy Act in lower and higher courts.

‘International human rights organizations and internationally famed human rights activists even have very rare understanding of the plight of Shiite community in the context of their marginalization, persecution and anti-Shia phobia occurs allover the Pakistan’, Said Haider Javed Syed, former Editor of daily ‘The Frontier Post’ Lahore.

Shia Ulema Council North Punjab President Allama Syed Sabtain Haider Sabzwari has said that it is unconstitutional, inhumane and un-Islamic to keep any person forcibly missing and imprisoned without any trial. And it is worrying for people.

“Even Pakistan’s Judiciary has been failed to recover not only the enforced disappeared persons belong to Shia community but same situation is in the cases of other ethnic and religious groups”, He added more.
