Message from Mrs Fauzia Ansari, Hamid’s mother:
My family and I are humbled by the support of so many people around the world. Thank you for your support it is appreciated.
It is now almost 16 months since Hamid’s disappearance and we do no further forward to establishing his whereabouts.
I know from Hamid’s Face Book page and from his e-mails that he was regularly in touch with friends in Pakistan namely Mr Sadullah Khatak, chief editor of ‘Dastak News’ and Mr Attaur Rehman Awan employed at ‘Dastak News’, Ms Saba Khan, Ms Nadia Khan, Dr.Shazia Khan who works at PIMS Hospital in Islamabad, Ms Humaira Hanif and a Mr Abdullah Zaid all of whom live in Pakistan. Hamid was in regular telephone contact with Ms Nadia Khan who is from Kohat Pakistan.
The internet conversation between Hamid and the aforementioned discloses that Dr. Shazia Khan invited and encouraged Hamid to travel to Pakistan via Afghanistan.
The conversation between Hamid and a Mr Attaur Rehman Awan discloses that Hamid was also invited, encouraged, helped and assured of full protection by Mr Attaur Rehman Awan, an employ of ‘Dastak News’.
An email sent by Hamid to Ms Saba Khan discloses that Hamid reached Pakistan and that Hamid stayed with Mr Attaur Rehman Awan in an area known as Karak, near Kohat in Pakistan.
Mr Attar Rehman Awan has admitted to a number of people that Hamid stayed at his house for a number of days and that later he arranged for Hamid to stay in a small hotel named ‘Palwasha’ in Kohat near Kohat Bus Depot with the help of a local man called ‘Abdullah Zaid’.
Mr Attar Rehman Awan maintains that the hotel Palowasha was raided by a government agency and that Hamid was taken away by them.
Despite repeated requests and the serious nature of Hamid’s disappearance, the Pakistani authorities are failing to investigate Hamid’s disappearance. I have made direct requests to the Pakistani authorities as well as requests via the Indian Government. These have not yet been acknowledged by the Pakistani authorities.
My family and I have no interest in the politics whatsoever; all we want is the safe return of our son Hamid to his despairing and worried family.
