> Toni Rutar has been travelling around the World since 1996. He has earned his
spending money writing software programmes (as
excellent programmer), instructing computer science, playing guitar in the
streets and occasional jobs. He's visited many countries
among them: Finland, Spain, Morocco, Greece, Israel, Jordan, Egypt, Pakistan and
Nepal. His last known residence was in Quetta,
Pakistan. Parents were in contact with him through e-mail ever since 1999 when
he was in Jordan.
> He first came to Quetta, Pakistan for one moth in March 2001. Then he left for
Nepal and came back to Quetta in September
2001. He sent a message from there on September 9th 2001. In Quetta he's been
teaching children computer science in different
parts of the town: Oxford Headway, Satellite Town, ...His nickname given to him
by locals in Quetta was Toni Ingrezi. He sent e-
mail from Internet Caffe every two weeks or so. Last time on April 14th 2002
from Quetta.
>
> On July 3rd 2002 a visit from officer of Slovenian Criminal police was paid to
his parents in Maribor. He informed them that Toni
Rutar might be imprisoned somewhere in Pakistan. The news was sent anonymous by
e-mail to Interpol not specifying where and
why he is imprisoned. Immediately parents contacted Slovenian Ministry of
Foreign Affairs which started to search for Toni Rutar
by help of Slovenian Embassy in Teheran.
>
> Absence of news from Toni Rutar (i.e. no e-mail) and anonymous mail to
Interpool are strong indicators that Toni Rutar might be
imprisoned somewhere in Pakistan, most likely in Quetta.

Rutar to his parents:

Toni is alive. He was in prison in Pakistan, becouse his pasport expired (Slovenia is changing passports). He is back in live. Say hello to him if somebody is going through Quetta.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
