A local journalist, Shah Zaman, was abducted from his home in Tank on Monday night, family of the journalist alleged.<\/p>\n
Zaman’s brothers, Shah Farman and Ismail, informed DawnNewsTV that five unknown armed men raided their residence and took Zaman away forcefully.<\/p>\n
They claimed that it is not the first time that Zaman was abducted as he had recently returned home after remaining in captivity for around a month and a half.<\/p>\n
A first information report (FIR) of the incident has not been registered so far, the family said.<\/p>\n
Incidents of enforced disappearances of journalists have been reported with alarming frequency in Pakistan.<\/p>\n
In November, the 2017 World Press Freedom Index, placed Pakistan among the most dangerous countries for journalists.<\/p>\n
Pakistan was ranked 139th out of 180 countries.<\/p>\n
