Your excellency, Mr. Prime Minister:

Assalamu Alaikum

I respectfully request your help in the matter of Idris Khattak’s disappearance.

Mr. Khattak was last seen in June 2020 with a black hood over his head as he was taken by force from his car. Later, Pakistan authorities stated that they had Idris Khattak in their custody. Eleven months on and Mr. Khattak still has had no contact with a lawyer, with Amnesty International, or with his family.

We are very concerned for his safety.

If there is sufficient and credible evidence that Idris Khattak has committed an internationally recognized offense, then he must be promptly remanded by a civilian court and granted a fair trial in line with international law and standards.

Without sufficient and credible evidence, Idris Khattak must be released immediately.

In either case, I trust you will uphold Idris Khattak’s essential right to meet with lawyers, Amnesty International, and his family as soon as possible. 

Prime Minister Khan, your immediate intervention to release Idris Khattak is critical and we greatly appreciate your help.
