A peace activist has been reported missing over the weekend from Lahore, police and one of his friends said on Tuesday. Raza Mehmood Khan, 40, a member of Aghaz-i-Dosti (Start of Friendship), a group that works on peace building between Pakistan and India, hasn't been heard from since he left home on Sunday, said Rahim-ul-Haq, a friend and an associate.
Police official Shehzad Raza said Khan's family reported he had been missing since Saturday. No one has been accused in the report, he said. "We're investigating." Haq said Khan spoke at a discussion on Saturday on the topic of extremism. "Everyone discussed their views and, of course, Raza was very critical," he said. He said that Raza's recent Facebook posts were critical of military, especially in view of a recent sit-in protest by hard-liners that paralyzed Islamabad for over two weeks.
