Raza Khan is a well-liked and highly regarded activist who has campaigned for peace between India and Pakistan. He is the Pakistan Convener of "Aghaz-e-Dosti", which brings people together from both sides of the border through art and letter-writing. He is also a member of the Awami Art Collective and has been involved in Lahore civil society since the days of the lawyers' movement for an independent judiciary and against emergency rule a decade ago. Recently, he has organised a discussion on "religious extremism" after violent protests in Islamabad led to the resignation of the Law Minister.
I urge the authorities to order an immediate investigation into Raza Khan's fate and whereabouts, keeping his family fully informed and updated at all times.
