KARACHI, Dec 14: Jamhoori Watan Party central leader Abdul Rauf Sasuli was freed here on Thursday evening. Mr Sasuli was picked up by security agencies in February from outside the Karachi Press Club.
He was among the participants of a rally held in protest against the military operations in Balochistan.
Mr Sasuli, who was indisposed, told Dawn that he had no idea either about his captors or the place where he had been kept. “I can only say that it was a cold place. It could be somewhere in northern areas or a remote region of Balochistan,” he added.
The JWP leader, however, said that he had neither been tortured nor interrogated by his captors. “They told me that they would not harm me.” Nevertheless, he added, it was a terrible ordeal.
