 The wife of a man who filed a court case against government officials over last months violence in Karachi said on Thursday that her husband had gone missing. In his petition, Iqbal Kazmi had held Sindh Chief Minister Arbab Rahim and other senior officials responsible for the May 12 violence that claimed 41 lives. Speaking to AFP, his wife, Sadia Kazmi said: My husband had gone to drop our son at our relatives home in Gulistan-i-Johar but did not return home since Wednesday afternoon. She said that she had called her husband on his mobile telephone when he failed to return home. He assured her that he was on his way. But later, when he did not show up, she called again only to find that his phone had been switched off. Sadia confirmed that she then informed the police of her husbands disappearance. I am very anxious to know the whereabouts of my husband, I cant say right now why he is missing. She also confirmed that Iqbal, 40, was a publisher and editor of a weekly newsletter, Special Report, and had filed a petition against the government. Posted by: Fred 2007-06-08 |
