Although Dawn has published the news report about Human rights commission of Pakistan demand that the government should sign the UN convention so that it could be held accountable for enforced disappearances, but it ignored reporting on this protest.

· HYDERABAD, Jan 21: The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) Chairperson Asma Jehangir has said that the commission will soon file a constitutional petition challenging the enforced disappearances of around 200 people, including women, all over the country.

Speaking to journalists after presiding over a seminar on the state of human rights in Sindh organised by HRCP's Special Task Force (STF) at a local hotel on Sunday she said that she could not give the exact number of missing people as it kept changing every day because people were still being picked up without any reason.

"Roughly speaking, there are around 200 missing people including women. Some of the women reached HRCP and narrated their tale of wrongful confinement at Rawalpindi police station and how they were taken to military headquarters for interrogation," said Ms Jehangir.
She said that that the commission would file a writ petition in next 10 days, seeking recovery of missing people and added that despite mounting pressure the government was not ready to disclose their whereabouts. "When intelligence agencies are given free reign they are bound to misuse the state apparatus," she said.

She ruled out any change in the attitude of landlords towards bonded labour in the presence of what he said ‘a wadera chief minister’.

She called for abolition of capital punishment and said that Punjab toppedd the provinces in awarding death penalties. Elsewhere in the world capital punishment was awarded only in rare cases, she said.

She avoided disclosing the reasons which led to the sacking of former STF coordinator Nasreen Shakeel Pathan, wife of late STF coordinator Shakeel Pathan, one of the founding members of HRCP and said it was a matter between employer and employee. “It was council's decision to remove her and if she had any reservations she was free to move the court,” she added.

· Families of missing persons protest at the office of sensitive agency [ISI] Daily Jassarat, October 10, 2006. source
Islamabad. Family members of dozens of people who disappeared during the last four years protested at the office of sensitive agency [ISI]. They appealed to president General Pervez Musharraf and Chief Justice of Pakistan that they play their role in recovery of the missing persons. In this regard, dozens of women and children of the affected family marched from Aabpara to the headquarter of the sensitive agency. They put chains in their hand and sat before the office for half an hour. during the protest they chanted slogan against the government policies and requested meeting the head of the sensitive agency. They couldn't succeed in meeting him. The affected family said that they are tired of government's ignoring this matter despite promises. They vowed to struggle to the end to recover heads of their families.
ICSSA Note: The important thing to note in this report is the level of fear of the ISI. The report and the newspaper cannot even report ISI by name. They could not say that the protest was held against ISI's policies of abduction and that the protest was held in front of ISI's headquarters. Instead they chose to use the term "sensitive agency" for the ISI.
