Rise of the Drones – UAVs After 9/11


Published on Feb 14, 2014
UPDATE: We've just been informed that Kareem Khan has now been released after being interrogated, beaten and tortured. This press release from the human rights organisation Reprieve says that Kareem was questioned about his work on drone strikes while in detention and upon his release earlier today was told not to speak to the media: http://www.reprieve.org.uk/press/2014...

In the early hours of 5 February, the anti-drone activist Kareem Khan went missing from his home in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, just days before he was due to testify before members of the UK, Dutch and German Parliaments on the US' use of drone strikes in his country. Kareem's lawyer Shahzad Akbar, says his client was kidnapped by a Pakistani government agency, likely in an effort to prevent him from travelling to Europe. We spoke to Mr Akbar to find out more...

Watch Shahzad Akbar discuss the legality of US drone strikes here: http://bit.ly/1c6dEIQ
