Шаблон:Infobox person Hafiz Abdul Basit (Шаблон:IPAc-en Шаблон:Respell) is a citizen of Pakistan who is believed to have been detained on suspicion of involvement to assassinate Pakistan's leader President Pervez Musharraf.[1] [2]

Disappearance

A devout Muslim,[3] Basit disappeared from his home on January 4, 2004, and was believed to have been taken into covert extrajudicial detention in a secret Pakistani interrogation center for the next three and a half years.[4][5] (see also: Missing persons (Pakistan))

Tariq Pervez, the director-general of Pakistan's Federal Investigation Agency, was threatened with jail, unless he produced Basit.[1][5] Pakistani Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad told him: Шаблон:Quotation

Pervez claims he was soon transferred to the custody of Pakistan's intelligence agency, the Interservices Intelligence Directorate.[5]

Pervez was allowed two brief, temporary, releases from the Court, to give him an opportunity to arrange for Hafiz Abdul Basit to be released from his extrajudicial detention—without success.[1] Pakistan's Attorney General Malik Qayyum intervened, and sought a further two-day adjournment, taking responsibility for the release of Hafiz Abdul Basit.[6] Hafiz Abdul Basit had still not been produced, before the Court, on August 22, 2007, when the two-day adjournment expired.[7][8][9] The Pakistani newspaper Dawn reported that Qayyum told the Supreme Court: Шаблон:Quotation

The Supreme Court ordered the 25-year-old Basit be released to his maternal uncle Hafiz Mohammad Nasir.[3][7]

Aftermath

He was finally released August 22, 2007.[10]

Iftikhar's examination of the circumstances of Hafiz Abdul Basit's detention would trigger a wider inquiry into the practice of Pakistan's Intelligence and Justice organs holding captives in extrajudicial detention. Iftikhar wrote[1] Шаблон:Quotation

The Pakistani Supreme Court is going through a list of 287 disappeared men, one at a time.[5]

The Supreme Court also ordered the release of other men from the list of disappeared, Imran Munir, Alim Nasir, Jan Muhammad, Munir Mengal and Salim Baloch.[1]
