Pakistan is thirsty for the blood of the Baloch nation – Abdullah Baloch
Victim Of Enforced Disappearance. Feroz Baloch.
I see a mother, tears in her eyes, holding a photo of her son as she demonstrates in the street. She is asking human rights organisations and the government of Pakistan about her son, who was forcibly disappeared. The next day, we see another Baluch become a victim of enforced disappearance.
The grief a mother carries is immense; she may not even know if he is still alive. Her mourning is constant, her heart aching in silence when Feroz’s mother weeps for him; her pain is something we living safely under our parents’ protection can hardly understand.
Multan Nishtar Hospital.
Another crime by Pakistan’s Forces, several “abandoned” bodies were found on the roof of the hospital’s mortuary.
Nishtar Medical University. It was clearly visible that the dead bodies were wearing the long “shalwar”, which makes it evident that these people were from Baluchistan. Victims of forced disappearance and the corpses could be of people who went missing from Sindh and the erstwhile tribal areas of the country.
What is the biggest crime committed by Pakistan’s security forces, ISI, and government denying DNA tests for those whom they buried silently?
Continuously Forced Disappearances in Baluchistan.
Activists say that thousands of ethnic Baluch people have been disappeared by Pakistan’s security forces over the last two decades, allegedly detained without due legal process, abducted, tortured, and killed.
Some return after years, traumatised and broken, but many never come back. Others are found in unmarked graves that have appeared across Baluchistan, their bodies so disfigured they cannot be identified.
Many of them insist their fathers, brothers and sons are innocent and have been targeted for speaking out against state policies or were taken as a form of collective punishment.
False Allegations by Pakistan.
The Pakistani government routinely spreads false allegations, insisting that many of the missing have joined separatist groups and then there are the women across generations whose lives are defined by waiting.
The mothers of Baluchistan wait in silence, but their grief demands that the world listen.
