Letter from South Asia Page2

Or take Iqbal Kazmi – a Karachi lawyer, a mild-mannered, non-descript, middle-aged Urdu-speaking man with a wife and young children. He filed a case against the MQM for the Karachi carnage of May 12 in a court of law. Not for him, the revolutionary’s flamboyant challenge to legality. For his pains he gets abducted – by MQM supporters many suspect – and brutally tortured before being doped and dumped with threats of more if he does not leave the city within five days. His torturers’ main quest: “tell us who you work for”? As though it is inconceivable for a man to stand up for himself as a citizen. The Kazmi family’s response: a press conference where Mr Kazmi speaks about his abduction and Mrs Kazmi announces that nobody is going to drive her out of her city.
