Pro-Imran Khan Pak journalist returns home after being abducted

May 30, 2023 16:19

A prominent Pakistani television journalist who went missing last week, apparently because of his support to former prime minister Imran Khan, returned home on Tuesday, his family said.

Sami Abrahim's daughter, Zainab Sami, tweeted the great news her family received and shared that her father reached home safely.

Zainab thanked everyone who helped spread the news and made Abrahim's return possible. Abrahim went missing last Thursday, when eight people in four vehicles intercepted his car on his way back home from work in Islamabad, according to his family and BOL TV, where he works.

No one has claimed responsibility for Abrahim's abduction, but it is widely believed that he was abducted by the country's security agencies for supporting Khan, the chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party. Khan is demanding early general elections in Pakistan and his arrest in connection with a corruption case led to unprecedented violence on May 9.
