Has Imran Khan been kidnapped?

There have been reports in the media that Imran Khan, one of Pakistan's most well known personalities and founder of the Tehrik-e-Insaaf party escaped house arrest during the Musharraf crack down that commenced on 4 November 2007. According to a spokesman from Tehrik-e-Insaaf Imran did not escape house arrest. In fact, his whereabouts are presently unknown. Here's a chilling report from Tehrik-e-Insaaf:

This is a message from the Chief Political Secretary of PTI Saifullah Khan Niazi. Imran Khan did not escape house arrest in Lahore as has been reported in electronic media, we are unsure of his whereabouts, and he has likely been kidnapped by the agencies:"The Chairman Imran Khan was told by the police last night that he is under house arrest. But around 3 am the police brought warrants to take him to prison and at that time it was discovered that he had mysteriously vanished while there were over two dozen policemen surrounding his house. We are not sure where they have taken him as there is no way he could have gone out without the knowledge of the police and he could be in a lot of danger.

I have been asked to kindly request from those of you who maybe willing to, to please put this issue on all types of blogs for discussion.

Individuals have also requested that people should instruct all their International Chapters to protest in front of their respective Pakistani High Commissions as his life could be in danger.

In addition to this please start a million signature petition to free Imran Khan and send it to the UN, amnesty international and the human rights commission or whichever organization you can think of."
