Mansha Pasha, a prominent actress and wife of esteemed lawyer and social activist Jibran Nasir, stated that armed individuals forcibly took her husband.
Through a video message shared on various social media platforms, Pasha reported the occurrence late Thursday night as they returned home from dinner.
A distressed Pasha related, “A short while ago, about half an hour, some individuals kidnapped my husband, Jibran Nasir, a widely recognized lawyer with significant contributions to our nation.”
She narrated how around 15 men wielding firearms in a white double-cabin vehicle intercepted their car.
“Upon returning from dinner, a large white vehicle abruptly cut us off, almost leading to a collision. Approximately 15 men, all armed with handguns, aggressively seized my husband.”
Pasha sought assistance from the public, passionately urging them to join in voicing their support for her husband and pray for his rapid and safe return.
Following the viral news of Nasir’s abduction, numerous individuals and human rights organizations condemned the incident.
They expressed their concern and called for Nasir’s quick and safe return.
The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) expressed its concern over the incident on Twitter, stating: “HRCP is deeply concerned by reports that unknown armed persons in Karachi have abducted lawyer and activist [Jibran Nasir]. We demand that he be safely recovered immediately and his abductors held accountable under the law.”
Moreover, Imaan Mazari, daughter of former human rights minister Shireen Mazari, voiced her shock at the news.
She expressed her sentiments through a brief tweet, “No words… complete madness”.
