Concerns have been raised in Pakistan after a peace activist has gone missing.

Raza Khan from Lahore has been reported missing since the weekend after attending a public discussion he helped set-up on a recent controversial protest by an Islamist religious group.

Mr Khan's brother reported the case to police, saying it appears he was kidnapped.

Earlier this year a number of social media activists went missing before being released. The BBC reports that two of them claimed they were abducted by a “state agency” and were tortured.
