The government and the Supreme Court have set up commissions to investigate missing persons, but relatives of victims complain that many of the cases remain unsolved and alleged perpetrators are rarely convicted. A U.N. working group that visited Pakistan last year to investigate the issue said it had received no information related to convictions of state agents in relation to disappearances, despite repeated requests.As the activists have made their way to Karachi, residents of towns on their path have at times walked with them for a few hours, even for a full day, as a show of solidarity.
"I am marching with these women and girls because they are victimized," said Muhammad Nawaz, a young student who joined the group as it marched past his town, Gadani. "I am giving them my moral support, at least in the limits of my town."
