The plainclothes men in Vigo cabins who abducted comrade @MohsinAbdali4 from his home, also took his mobile and laptop. They even tried to snatch his father’s phone and abduct him also. We have gangsters in the form of law enforcement personnel. #ReleaseMohsinAbdali pic.twitter.com/rXFN8kQB9T

He is a passionate Climate Change Activist. His energy and vigour inspires all of us! We still don’t know where to look for him. The nearby police stations have no information about his whereabouts. Abduction of innocents has become a norm. Shame! #ReleaseMohsinAbdali pic.twitter.com/pYqgzQZuLK
