I wish you luck, Dr.!!!

I really do hope that you find some of the missing people during this visit.

This definitely is a humanitarian issue & my best wishes are for all families on both sides of the border to be able to find their dear ones.

Regards,

I lack any knowledge of what goes on in Indian prisons, aside from what is depicted in Bollywood. But I do know Pakistani prisons are hell-holes. A cousin of my dad, a poor but very hard working man suddenly became enraged and violent for one reason or another about ten years ago. He beat his wife, and beat relatives who tried to stop him. Finally some young cousins of mine over-powered him and gifted him to the local police authorities, for he had badly injured my phuphu. I don`t know why he became violent that day, but what happened after that was definitely hell. He spent 3-4 years in Multan jail. I saw him several being brought to the court house located near my school. He didn`t recognize any of us. He was unshaved, filthy, smelly, and completely out of the world around him. When he was finally released he walked all the way to Pakpatan from Multan. That`s the last we heard of him about 4-5 years ago.

Hopefully you are united with the loved ones that you`re looking for..
