EXAMPLES OF CONTRADICTORY INFORMATION Clive Stafford Smith, founder of Reprieve, a UK-based charity, confirms Tariq Khan attended a three day meeting in Islamabad three days before he was killed. The meeting was hosted by Reprieve and included more than 60 villagers from FATA, all of whom gathered to discuss drones in their communities. According to Stafford Smith, “Tariq was a good kid, and courageous.”847
