ISLAMABAD: A
Lahore-based journalist, Anisur Rehman, who had gone missing on June 10 under
mysterious circumstances, was recovered from a locality in Islamabad on
Thursday night.

This was stated by
the secretary general of the Rawalpindi Islamabad Union of Journalists (RIUJ),
Asif Bhatti, in a statement.

Mr. Bhatti said that
he and other office-bearers of the RIUJ had been making efforts to get an FIR
registered over the matter when the police informed them that the journalist
had been found from a locality in Islamabad.

Mr. Bhatti said they
were yet to get details from the journalist about his mysterious disappearance.

Earlier, in a joint
statement, PFUJ president Shahzada Zulfiqar and secretary general Nasir Zaidi
had urged the authorities to track down the journalist and direct the police to
lodge an FIR against people involved in his abduction.

Mr Rehman, editor of
Nida-i-Millat magazine, had reportedly received a phone call in which he was
asked to receive his due payment for translation he did for someone. He visited
the Diplomatic Enclave on June 10 and had since been missing.
