ISLAMABAD - Expressing dissatisfaction over the governments efforts in safe recovery of Masood Janjua, Defence of Human Rights (DHR) a non-profit organisation raising its voice for the recovery of missing persons in Pakistan, has decided to file his case in the US court through an American lawyer. An American lawyer Clive A Stafford Smith would file the case of Masood Janjua in the US court. This was revealed at a press conference, Friday, organised by the Defence of Human Rights (DHR). Amina Masood Janjua, Chairperson DHR whose husband Masood Janjua has been missing since May 2005 also addressed the press conference. Families of the missing persons were also present on the occasion. Addressing the press conference, Stafford Smith said that holding a person without trial was illegal, and It is my promise with the citizens of Pakistan that I would file case of Masood in the American court and would try my best to get justice in that regard. Replaying to a question about justice Aafia received from American courts he said that there was no justice at all. He said that Amina had struggled to keep her family together, and maintain the family business. I can imagine what a devastating impact the disappearance of Masood has cast on the entire family. He further said that every accused should be allowed his day in court. If the government has evidence to produce against him, let this be done fairly and he should be given ample opportunity to defend himself with the assistance of counsel and before a fair and open tribunal. He informed that he already wrote letter to US Ambassador, Anne W Patterson in whom he told the US envoy about his meeting with Amina Masood adding her story had touched him deeply. In the letter he opined that it would seem most likely that he was yet another person who had become collateral damage in the 'War on Terror, mistaken for someone else or falsely accused by informants. Amina Masood Janjua said that despite the governments tall claims regarding recovery of the missing persons the issue could not be resolved. We are anxiously waiting for our loved ones to return home, she said. On the occasion a case study of Abdual Haleem Saifullah, a twenty-five year labourer from Karachi who was abducted by Pakistani agents in 2005, was also revealed. His family did not learn of his whereabouts until two years back, in 2007, they heard through the ICRC that he was being held by the US in secret detention in Afghanistan. Saifullah is currently being held in Bagram Airforce Base, and his family is waiting patiently for his return. It is to be mentioned here that in recent past the Ministry of Interior had constituted an eight-member investigation team to resolve the issue of missing persons within one week. During the meeting, a joint investigation team was constituted on the directive of Ministry of Interior comprising representatives of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), Intelligence Bureau (IB), Special Branch, Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and Federal Investigation Agency (FIA). The team has been assigned the task of resolving the issue of missing persons within a week. It is worth mentioning that DHR has so far registered around 665 cases of missing persons. The Ministry of Interior in its August 2009 report revealed that 1,291 persons were still missing in the country. After repeated reminders and meetings, the ministry had promised to submit report on October 1, 2009 regarding missing Masood Janjua, but failed to bring the report or achieve any breakthrough in tracing the disappeared loved-ones.
