Muhammad Azeem (L) and Sajida Parveen, the parents of Ehsan Azeem, who was sentenced to death by a military court, react while holding their son’s picture during an interview with Reuters in Rawalpindi January 23, 2015. Unidentified gunmen abducted Ehsan Azeem and his brother from their home in 2013, his parents said. The brother limped home two weeks later, saying he’d been hung upside down and beaten. A military court sentenced Azeem to death last year. Military documents show Azeem was accused of attacking a military camp, yet he was sentenced for sedition. When his parents were finally allowed to visit him in prison, Azeem told them he was tortured and had never appeared in court or spoken to a lawyer. Picture taken January 23, 2015.
