The United States has revoked the travel visa of a Pakistani rights advocate ahead of her trip to Washington.
Amina Janjua, founder of Defense of Human Rights, was about to take a flight from Geneva to Washington on Saturday when she was informed by a US diplomat that her visa had been cancelled.
Janjua is on an international tour to raise awareness of the so called "enforced disappearance" of hundreds of Pakistani citizens since Pakistan joined the US-led war on terror in 2001.
Her husband is among 563 people who have disappeared.
Human rights group Amensty International had organised her week long US trip and meetings with senior State Department officials and congressional staff.
