An anti-drone activist and journalist from Pakistan has been released, more than a week after he was abducted from his home in Rawalpindi.
Kareem Khan told reporters Friday how he was abducted by armed men who showed up at his family’s home in the early hours of February 5, and then tortured him while he was in captivity.
Khan, from the tribal area of North Waziristan, lost his son and brother to a 2009 CIA drone strike, and had been set to travel to Europe to meet with parliamentarians when he disappeared, lawyer Shazad Akbar said in a news release.
He was also involved in legal proceedings against the Pakistani police concerning their failure to investigate the killing of his relatives.
At a news conference held only hours after he was freed, Khan told how between 18 and 20 armed men kidnapped him from his home.
