Seengar Noonari, Labour Secretary of the Awami Workers Party (AWP) and lifelong activist was returned to his family on 1 August 2021 after a five-week disappearance. He was released without charge, after he was abducted from his home in the middle of the night in front of his wife and children. Seengar had been organizing his community to campaign against allegedly illegal land grabs by a private property developer, which his supporters believe to be the reason for his disappearance.
