Sami Ibrahim, anglicized as Sami Abraham is an American-Pakistani television journalist.[1] He is known for his work at BOL television. In May 2023, he was abducted by unknown persons and later released.[2]
Abduction
In May 2023, Abraham's family and the independent BOL television station in Karachi, where he works, announced that he had been kidnapped. Ali Raza, Abraham's brother, claims that the event took place when eight people in four different vehicles stopped Abraham's car while he was driving back from work in Islamabad. After that, they took him away, while the driver was unharmed.[3]
Abraham's kidnapping’s circumstances are still a mystery. In order to defend the rule of law and safeguard the rights of journalists in the nation, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has urged the government to reveal Abraham's whereabouts and secure his safe return.[4]
Personal life
Abraham had tested positive for COVID-19 in June 2020. On the advice of experts, he sought medical assistance after exhibiting symptoms of the virus.[5]
