Mrs. Amina Masood Janjua’s organisation “Defence of Human Rights” has collected data on Pakistani citizens who have gone missing as a result of the tactic of “state-sponsored kidnapping”.
This data needs some cleaning up and we invite volunteers for the job. If interested, please write in to either youngprolhr or aileeeNU (both gmail accounts belonging to interested activist groups).
