ISLAMABAD: The Lahore High Court on Wednesday ordered the government to produce an anti-drone activist — who was apparently detained by the country's intelligence agencies — at a hearing on Feb 20, his lawyer said.
Kareem Khan was picked up from his home on the outskirts of Islamabad on Feb 5, according to his legal team, just days before he was due to testify before European parliamentarians.
“The Rawalpindi bench of Lahore High Court has sought reply from the intelligence agencies through the government, ordering the intelligence agencies to produce Kareem Khan on Feb 20 or give the reason behind his arrest in writing to the court,” his lawyer Shahzad Akbar told AFP.
He said the police had also produced its report before the court “denying any involvement in the disappearance of Khan”.
“The police in their report did mention that Khan was picked up by men wearing police uniform but they said it was not them,” he said.
“I am not very hopeful that the intelligence agencies will produce Khan or tell the court why they have arrested him, we know how the intelligence agencies work in this country; they are answerable to no one.”
