The plainclothes men in Vigo cabins who abducted comrade @MohsinAbdali4 from his home, also took his mobile and laptop. They even tried to snatch his father’s phone and abduct him also. We have gangsters in the form of law enforcement personnel. #ReleaseMohsinAbdali pic.twitter.com/rXFN8kQB9T

He is a passionate Climate Change Activist. His energy and vigour inspires all of us! We still don’t know where to look for him. The nearby police stations have no information about his whereabouts. Abduction of innocents has become a norm. Shame! #ReleaseMohsinAbdali pic.twitter.com/pYqgzQZuLK

While we were trying to get our comrades out of the prison, we got the news that one of our comrades Mohsin Abdali has been abducted from his house this morning. Is this how a democratic state treats its young people? #ReleaseMohsinAbdali

Strongly condemn the abduction of Mohsin Abdali from Lahore. He was abducted after participating in a protest in Lahore for the release of Manzoor Pashteen. We stand with him and all of our friends who have been arrested after the recent protests. We will not be intimidated.
