On 20 August 2018, Mudassar Naaru was disappeared from Kaghan while on a trip there w/ his family. The police station refused to register an FIR.

In October 2018, Mudassar Naaru's father approached the Commission of Inquiry on Enforced Disappearances for registration of FIR 1/7

(& to determine fate and whereabouts of his son).

The Commission directed registration of FIR, following which FIR No. 208/2018 was registered on 22 November 2018.

Despite 2 years of hearings, the Commission has been unable to ascertain fate & whereabouts of Mudassar Naaru 2/7

In Feb this year, Mudassar Naaru's father filed a Writ Petition before the Islamabad High Court.

At the 1st date of hearing, notices were issued to the Respondents, incl Ministry of Interior & Ministry of Defence to file comments w/in 10 days. 10 days passed but no comments.3/7

Case was last fixed on 4 May. Ministry of Interior had not come prepared & Ministry of Defence submitted that "ISI & MI have informed that the said missing person is not held in their custody".
Mudassar Naaru's wife, Sadaf Chugtai, passed away today, leaving behind their son 4/7

There are no words for this cruelty. For this unending torture and torment inflicted upon entire families. There has been no accountability for the crime, or for the pain and suffering so many have been subjected to.

Enforced disappearances are a crime against humanity. 5/7

Impunity for enforced disappearances must end. Lives have been forever altered & homes destroyed.

We draw (some fair) parallels b/w Nazi Germany & Indian atrocities in IOJK. 6/7

What about Hitler's Night & Fog Decree being a SOP in our own country?

It shouldnt have to be said over & over:

END ENFORCED DISAPPEARANCES NOW.

END CULTURE OF IMPUNITY FOR DISAPPEARANCES.
