Muhammad Nazeer Abbasi (Sindhi: محمد نذير عباسي) (b. 10 April 1953 — d. 9 August 1980) was the youngest member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Pakistan. He was tortured to death on 9 August 1980 during the government of Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq while in the custody of the Field Intelligence Unit (FIU) of the Pakistan Army. His family has accused former ISI operative Brigadier Imtiaz Ahmed Billa of torturing and killing Abbasi while in his custody. His family said post-mortem reports revealed death as a result of torture and claimed that Benazir Bhutto "herself had informed" Abbasi's wife over Imtiaz Billa's involvement.
