Munir Mengal

Muni Mengal is the head of Baloch Voice TV, a Balochi language television channel. On 4 April 2006, 3 months before the channel was due to launch, he went missing when he arrived at Karachi Airport from Bahrain. It later became clear that he had been abducted by Pakistani security agencies. He claims the military wanted him to stop his plans to launch his Balochi channel, and that General Pervez Musharraf personally approached him while in detention. He claims he was severely tortured by the security agencies while in their detention for 22 months.
