Head of UNHCR in Quetta, Pakistan Kidnapped | UN and local police looking for answers…

 Feb 2, 2009: Our host in Quetta, Pakistan last April, John Solecki of UNHCR, was taken from his car by armed gunmen and his driver, Syed Hashim, was shot and killed a few days ago. 

Two fine people and outstanding humanitarians. Many parties are now pursuing all leads as they seek John's safe return and the arrest of his kidnappers.  Please share any thoughts or helpful information and we will pass it along to UNHCR or contact the Balochistan Police directly. The PCR Project sends it deepest condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of Syed along with our hopes for John's safety.
