According to Alis relatives, he was tortured and interrogated in connection with
the murder of Justice Nawaz Marri
Months later, on October 18th, 2000, he was picked up again along with his relative Mr. Iqbal, while riding a
bicycle past Degree College, Quetta. Mr. Iqbal was released after 22 days. Ali remains missing. On April 27th,
2002, Ali's family gave up hope of his returning and made some efforts for his release. They met Corps
Commander Abdul Qadir Zari and sought his help. On May 15th, 2002, two officials of the ISI visited the family
and assured them that Ali was well and would soon return. They also discouraged them from protesting,
implying that in doing so, they would damage the interest of the abductees.
After receiving no word of Alis whereabouts, the family met Brigadier M.Sadique of the ISI who made inquiries
from Colonel Bangish. According to the testimony of the family, the Brigadier received a file from the Colonel,
which he inspected. He then comforted the family and promised to help. After the meeting, the family visited
several officials and at each occasion begged for the release of Ali or delivery of his dead body. Each time they
were promised that the victim would soon be released. During this process, Brigadier M. Sadique also gave
some money to the family and eventually agreed to take some clothing from them, promising that it would be
delivered to Ali. Finally, the family members met the Governor of Balochistan in the presence of the Balochistan
Vice Chairperson of HRCP. The Governor was most courteous and sympathetic. Later, at another meeting, again
in the presence of HRCP Vice Chairperson, the Governor informed the family that Ali was not in the custody of any
official agency or security force. This was disputed and it was pointed out by a family member that if this was so,
then why did the ISI official give them a sum of Rs.25,000 and receive clothes intended for Ali. The Governor
responded that the money was given on compassionate grounds and the clothing was received in order to seek
Alis whereabouts through a Sufi, who would perform a mystic ritual known as dum.
Ali is a father to eight children, and was forty years old at the time of his disappearance. His family is on token
hunger strike outside the Quetta press club.
