Read al-Najar's Habeas Corpus Petition

In May 2002, unknown individuals broke into the home of Mr. Redha al Najar, a Tunisian citizen, who was residing in Karachi, Pakistan. Mr. al Najar was seized in front of his wife and two-year-old child, and disappeared for eighteen months. It was only after receiving a handwritten message in 2004, delivered by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), that his family learned that he was still alive. His son, who is now nine, has not had direct contact with his father since he was two-years-old. At the request of Mr. al Najar’s brother, IJNetwork filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus on his behalf in December of 2008.
