Default UN seeks direct contact with Solecki kidnappers
ISLAMABAD: The United Nations on Tuesday urged the kidnappers of John Solecki to make direct contact, calling for his immediate release.

John Solecki, who heads the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) in Quetta was abducted at gunpoint on February 2 while travelling to work. His driver was killed.

The Balochistan Liberation United Front (BLUF), which claims to be holding Solecki, on Monday extended a 72-hour deadline for the government to meet demands for his release.

‘The United Nations encourages the community leaders’ continued engagement and again asks those keeping John to initiate direct contact so that dialogue can be started for his immediate safe recovery,’ the UN said.

‘We are grateful for the growing community support for John Solecki and the response that their support has generated.’

The world body reiterated an earlier appeal to Solecki’s captors for his ‘immediate and safe release’, saying it was aware of a message from abductors to the Quetta Press Club regarding extension in the deadline.

A grainy video released by the kidnappers and shown on local television channels on Friday showed a blindfolded Solecki appealing to the United Nations for his release and saying he was unwell.

In an accompanying statement, the kidnappers demanded the release of 141 women Baloch detainees they say are in Pakistani custody, and information about 6,000 men ‘missing’ from operations to put down Baluchistan’s insurgency.
