A very sad and shocking news.

May he rest in peace.

We could perhaps take the help of ISOC Islamabad or other civil society members from Pakistan to send our condolence message.

Regards,

Amrita

Dear Fellow IGC Members,

It is with deep sadness and regret that I inform you of the sudden passing of our dear friend and colleague Imran Ahmed Shah who died just 2 days after celebrating his 50th Birthday.

 Last night before going to bed, I received a message from Nazia, his wife that Imran had passed away the day before due to a heart attack. He was buried the same day he died. 😭😭😭😭😭😭 I am so sad and my heart is broken 💔💔💔💔. He is survived by his wife Nazia Shah is 44 years old, daughter Laraib Shah is 15 currently in GCSE and son Muhammed Ali Imran Shah is 11 just started high school.

I first met Imran when I used to jointly lead the Internet Governance Caucus (IGC). Imran is the convenor of the Pakistan Internet Governance Forum hails from Lahore and held many hats such as being President of the Urdu Internet Society and many other organisations he founded. His advocacy work in the area of IDNs led to the removal of the two letter limitation. He was an innovator and held many patents and some pending. He was always passionate about people, development and ensuring access for all.

Should you wish to send your condolences to his family, their postal address is as follows:

Mrs Nazia Shah
Flat 25E
Askari 1,
Sadder Cantt
Sarfraz Rafiqui Road
Lahore, Pakistan
