At the time of his disappearance, his daughters Sammi Deen and Mehlab Baloch were seven and ten years respectively. Today, they have the same questions they had 17 years ago.

Deen Muhammad’s case is not isolated; families across Pakistan await answers as their loved ones remain forcibly disappeared for months, years, and decades.

Amnesty International joins Deen Muhammad’s family in demanding that the Pakistani authorities reveal his fate and whereabouts, along with the fate of all those forcibly disappeared. Further, a thorough, transparent, and independent investigation must be conducted to hold those responsible accountable.

While contemporaries favored the flexible nazm for political commentary, Syed maintained the ghazal, expressing themes of injustice through a deeply original, authentic Balochi sensibility. @FazalBaloc https://t.co/waFHHU0tHF

　The International Community Strong Protest Statement against the Life Imprisonment Sentence Imposed on Dr. Mahrang Baloch and the Ongoing Human Rights Violations in Balochistan

　The International Career Support Association strongly condemns and protests the life imprisonment sentence handed down on June 22, 2026, by an Anti-Terrorism Court in Quetta against Dr. Mahrang Baloch, a prominent Baloch human rights defender, leader of the Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC), and medical doctor.

　Dr. Mahrang Baloch has dedicated her life to the peaceful defense of human rights in Balochistan, particularly against enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, torture, and other grave violations. Her father, Abdul Ghaffar Langove, was himself a political activist who was detained, tortured, and ultimately killed after being forcibly disappeared. Dr. Baloch began her activism at the age of 16 following her father’s ordeal.

　Her courageous and non-violent advocacy has received international recognition. In 2024, she was selected for TIME Magazine’s TIME100 Next list of emerging influential leaders and was also named to the BBC’s 100 Women list. She was prevented from traveling to New York to attend the TIME award ceremony due to unjust travel restrictions.

　On March 22, 2025, she was arrested during a peaceful sit-in protest in Quetta against police violence and the detention of fellow activists. She has remained in arbitrary detention at Hudda District Prison ever since, facing multiple politically motivated charges under anti-terrorism and public order laws.

　The recent life imprisonment sentence relates to a 2024 protest in Gwadar. However, the Baloch Yakjehti Committee has consistently maintained that the gathering was peaceful, and international human rights organizations have described the charges as baseless and retaliatory for her legitimate human rights work.
Dr. Baloch has now been detained for over one year under conditions that raise serious concerns regarding due process and access to medical care.

These actions constitute clear violations of:

・The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Articles 19 and 20)

・The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), to which Pakistan is a party

・International standards protecting human rights defenders, particularly women defenders

　The criminalization of peaceful dissent through the misuse of anti-terrorism legislation undermines the rule of law and sends a chilling message to all those who advocate for justice in Balochistan.

　We therefore strongly demand the following: The immediate and unconditional release of Dr. Mahrang Baloch and all other arbitrarily detained activists.

1）The withdrawal of all politically motivated charges and a fair, transparent, and independent review of her case.

2）An end to all harassment, intimidation, and reprisals against human rights defenders in Balochistan.

Furthermore, we call upon the United Nations to take the following urgent actions:

A) Establish a Fact-Finding Mission to thoroughly investigate the human rights situation in Balochistan, including enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, torture, and restrictions on freedom of expression and assembly.

B) Appoint and immediately dispatch an appropriate Special Rapporteur to examine these violations on the ground.

We also strongly urge the Government of Pakistan to:

a) Unconditionally accept the United Nations Fact-Finding Mission and the deployment of the Special Rapporteur.

b) Provide full, unrestricted cooperation, including freedom of movement, access to all relevant locations and individuals, and complete transparency.

　Any refusal or obstruction of such a UN mission would demonstrate a rejection of international human rights standards and further isolate Pakistan on the global stage.

　The International Career Support Association stands in solidarity with Dr. Mahrang Baloch and all those courageously defending human rights in Balochistan.
Silencing her voice is an attack on universal principles of justice, freedom, and human dignity.

　We call on the Government of Pakistan to immediately rectify these violations in accordance with international law.

　We further urge the United Nations and the international community to take decisive action by supporting Dr. Mahrang Baloch’s immediate release and by establishing an independent international investigation into the human rights situation in Balochistan.

Mehrab Khalid, a student of NCA Lahore, was forcefully detained alongside his friends on the night of 29 May. While his friends were later released, Mehrab Khalid’s whereabouts remain unknown.

Baloch students have long been subjected to enforced disappearances and fake encounters. Educated and talented Baloch youth are being severely targeted. They are threatened, harassed and forcibly disappeared across Pakistan. Whether in Balochistan, Sindh, Islamabad, Lahore or Punjab, Baloch students are considered a threat.

These acts reflect that the state is systematically preventing Baloch students from acquiring education peacefully. We urge people from all walks of life to take practical measures against the state’s barbarism so that Baloch students may pursue their education peacefully across Pakistan.

Mehrab Khalid was forcibly disappeared by Pakistani forces last night. He is one of the most talented artists from #Balochistan. His work revolutionized the Balochi film industry. Pakistan has already disappeared and killed a generation of our talented youth. #SaveMehrabKhalid

اس بزرگ خاتون کو کراچی پولیس، کراچی پریس کلب کے سامنے سے صرف اسلئے زبردستی اپنی گاڑی میں دھکیل کر اور گھسیٹ کر لے جارہی ہے، کیونکہ ان کا نوجوان بیٹا داد شاہ گزشتہ چار دنوں سے جبری طور پر لاپتہ کیا جاچکا ہے، اور اس ماں کا واحد جرم یہ ہے کہ وہ آج اپنے بچوں کے ہمراہ پریس کلب کے باہر پریس کانفرنس کے ذریعے اپنے بیٹے کی بازیابی کے لیے آواز اٹھانا چاہتی تھی۔

اب بلوچ ماؤں کو اپنے گمشدہ بیٹوں کے لئے آواز اٹھانے پر بھی گرفتار کیا جاتا ہے۔

In this narrow flat we suffocate, we drink warm water. I have health issues, Babul has, Babul’s mother too. That is part of our life—we have continued with it. But a child’s disappearance is not part of life. We cannot adjust to live with that.” My latest.

[Baloch Students Council, Punjab @BSCPunjab]

On August 4, security forces abducted Sanjar Sadiq, an MPhil scholar at UET Lahore, from his home in Tump while he was on vacation. His whereabouts remain unknown.

This is part of a systematic campaign to silence educated Baloch youth.

We demand his immediate and safe release.

STOP NORMALISING THE ABDUCTION OF WOMEN.

No, this is not normal. This is not just “how war works.” This is not something we should grow used to.

The disappearance of Baloch women Mahjabeen, Robina, or anyone, cannot and must not be explained away as part of some inevitable pattern.
This is not war, This is state-orchestrated terror. This is gendered violence. This is the systematic targeting of Baloch resistance through its women.

Each time we say “it’s happening again”, each time we repeat “we knew this would happen”, each time we quietly accept it as part of a cycle, we help normalize it.

But this cannot be normalized.
We cannot let women enforced disappearance become just another news item. We cannot allow women’s abduction and torture to be treated as acceptable collateral.

This is not just politics. This is horror.
And if we stop being horrified, if we allow this to become “just how things are” then we have already lost too much of our power and resistance.

Do not normalize this. Do not explain it away.
