Free Zeenat Shahzadi!
Dear Minister Freeland, Zeenat Shahzadi is a 26 year old Pakistani journalist who was kidnapped off the streets of Lahore in August 2015, and has been missing ever since. The brazen, daylight kidnapping of a young female journalist was the first of its kind in Pakistan. Zeenat’s family believes Pakistan’s Special Forces are responsible, because she fearlessly pursued a story the spy agencies didn't want told. We call on you to uphold Canada's commitment to defending human rights and intervene with the Pakistani government, urging them to immediately order a full investigation of Zeenat's kidnapping, and to prioritize her safe return home. We furthermore urge the Canadian government to demonstrate its leadership on the issue of Enforced Disappearances and sign and ratify without reservations the International Convention for the Protection of all Persons from Enforced Disappearances. Thank you for your attention.
This message is being sent to Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland.
