Dear Honorable Official,

On the night of 27 September 2017, Mesut Kaçmaz and his family were kidnapped, despite being under UN protection in Pakistan.

Congressman Mr Syed Ali Riza Abidi has raised the issue of the kidnapping of the Kaçmaz family and said that we must all endeavour to do something about the injustice.

Around 15 strangers dressed as ordinary civillians in Pakistan kidnapped the Kaçmaz family. We all want to know exactly what happened to this family, as they were taken without any trial, judgement or official papers.

Kidnapping is an international crime. Furthermore, we want to learn of this innocent family's whereabouts as Mesut Kaçmaz and his family are of Turkish origin; our people, whose only aim is to be qualified teachers that teach people about, and guide people through life. We don’t want to simply abandon these people. And we are now also worried about other Turkish teachers and their families in Pakistan. We want them to be transferred to a safer country as soon as possible.

In Turkey and in other countries, many Turkish citizens have been kidnapped. We cannot keep silent about this issue and we want justice!

Those who have been kidnapped must be released immediately. We await a response from officials in Pakistan providing an explanation of what has happened to the Kaçmaz family, and what measures are being put in place for other families like them facing similar danger and injustice.

We kindly request your help in upholding justice for those who have been denied it.

Regards.
