On Tuesday, October 29, Rafiq ur Rehman – a teacher in a primary school in North Waziristan, Pakistan – will appear at a briefing called by Representative Alan Grayson (FL-09), along with his children Nabila and Zubair who were both injured in a drone attack in October 2012. The event marks the first opportunity for Congress to hear from drone victim survivors.

“I’m looking forward to hearing from the drone strike victims,” said Congressman Grayson. “When it comes to national security matters like drone strikes, it’s important that we hear not only from the proponents of these attacks, but also from the victims. They have a unique perspective to share with Congress, and I hope that my colleagues will attend this important event on October 29th.”
