The sixth series of The Missing begin with the heartbreaking story of Aamina Khan. We urge you to listen to her father, Safraz.

Imagine you’re a parent, sharing custody of your young child with an ex partner. You go to collect them one day and no-one answers the door. Perhaps wires have been crossed and dates and pickup times have been miscommunicated? That wasn’t the case for Safraz Khan, who in 2011 learned that his ex-wife had abducted their eight year old daughter Aamina and taken her to Pakistan without his knowledge. What followed for Safraz was years of pain and confusion as he did everything in his power, to track down his child. Along the way, he dealt with corrupt police officers, hostile family members and grappled at length with the British legal system. A decade later, he’s still fighting to bring Aamina home.
