Nowadays, Rashid Ali Turi was doing the coal business and Jafar Ali worked as property dealer.

However, sources confirmed his release Thursday night.

Meanwhile, supporters of Joint Action Committee for Shia Missing Persons think that ongoing sit-in protest has hastened release of Jafar Ali.

Nation condemns

Meanwhile, people of Pakistan have condemned this hypocrisy on the issue of enforced disappearance (so-called missing persons).

They reminded Prime Minister Imran Khan who directed for legislation to criminalize enforced disappearance on March 18, 2021.

Most importantly, the PM said so during a meeting with three members of Balochistan’s missing persons in Islamabad.
