On Thursday, Oct. 17, 2019, a dozen plainclothes Pakistani security forces attempted to raid the former home of Ismail, a human rights activist who recently fled to the United States seeking asylum. Ismail's elderly parents say they were ordered to come outside "just to talk," but refused. (Ian Langsdon, Pool via AP, File)
