Congratulations to @MahrangBaloch_ on being recognized by @TIME as one of the top 100 emerging leaders of 2024.
This recognition is well deserved for her all efforts and contributions.
She represents a powerful voice not just for the Baloch, but for all suppressed and voiceless people.
The 2024 #TIME100NEXT list is out, and I’m honored to be part of this group. I dedicate this recognition to the families of missing persons and the Baloch human rights defenders (HRDs) who give us strength, power, and hope. Thank you, @TIME
Islamabad harassed @MahrangBaloch_ when she visited with supporters to seek justice. All doors remain closed by @anwaar_kakar .
But divine justice and slap in face of her opponents.
فیضان کو 5 جولائی کو جبراً لاپتہ کیا گیا، دو مہینے ہو چکے ہے لیکن فیضان کو رہا نہیں کیا گیا، آج اس کے والد بیٹے کا تذکرہ کرتے ہوئے رو پڑے،
اس ظلم کا حساب کون دیگا؟ ایسے ظلم کے بعد ریاست لوگوں سے انعام چاہتی ہے؟ ریاست لوگوں کے دلوں میں اپنے خلاف صرف اور صرف نفرت پیدا کر رہی ہے
Nadeem Bewas, a Baloch poet was forcibly disappeared from Nasirabad, Balochistan on August 26, 2024. His family still has no information about his whereabouts. Human rights organisations must take notice of his illegal abduction.

ایک بہن کیلئے اس سے بڑھ کر تکلیف کیا ہوسکتی ہے کہ وہ اپنے بھائیوں کے سالگرہ منانے کے بجائے ہر سال انکے جبری گمشدگی کے دن ازیت کے ساتھ گزارے، اس دن ایک احتجاج اور ہاتھ میں ایک پلے کارڈ جس میں ایک سال کے درد اور کرب کا اضافہ تو ہو جاتا ہے مگر اس کے بھائی لوٹ کر نہیں آتے!

Mahrang Baloch stands out as one of the most compelling figures in contemporary human rights activism, particularly for her unwavering commitment to addressing the severe human rights abuses in #Balochistan. As the head of the Baloch Yakjehti Committee, she has not only challenged the status quo in a region fraught with conflict but has also managed to galvanize support in a society traditionally dominated by male voices. Her leadership in advocating against enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and other violations by state forces marks her as a symbol of hope and resilience.
For those unfamiliar, #MahrangBaloch's activism is rooted in the dire need to bring attention to the plight of the Baloch people, who have long faced marginalization and violence. Her methods, predominantly peaceful, underscore a strategic choice to engage in dialogue and protest rather than resorting to violence/terrorism, a choice that resonates deeply with historical movements that have successfully achieved political change without widespread bloodshed.
The recent escalation involving groups like the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) attacking Pakistani military and police forces highlights the volatile situation in Balochistan. While such actions might be seen as reactions to state oppression, they also risk intensifying the conflict, potentially leading to more suffering for the local populace. Here, Mahrang Baloch's approach offers a critical alternative. By advocating for non-violent resistance, she not only seeks to mitigate immediate harm but also aims at fostering a sustainable path towards reconciliation and justice.
While some might argue for military action as a means to neutralize oppressive forces, the history of such engagements often shows that without careful, humane strategy, they can lead to prolonged suffering and further entrenchment of conflict. Mahrang's peaceful strategies, therefore, not only challenge the immediate oppressions but also propose a model for future political discourse and change in Balochistan.
Mahrang Baloch's efforts deserve not just admiration but active support from the international community. I believe she should be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, that would not only recognize her personal courage but also spotlight the broader struggle of the Baloch people for justice and self determination. Her work exemplifies that significant political transformations can be pursued through non-violent means, drawing parallels with monumental shifts like the end of British rule in India or the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
Mahrang Baloch's activism is a testament to the power of peaceful resistance in the face of overwhelming odds. Her story is one of hope, resilience, and a call for global solidarity in the fight for human rights. As the world watches Balochistan, it's figures like Mahrang who remind us of the potential for change, even in the most challenging circumstances!
ریاستی اداروں کی سرپرستی میں جبری گمشدگیوں کے خلاف سوشل میڈیا پر مہم چلانے کے باوجود آج انسانی حقوق کے عالمی دن کے حوالے سے پاکستان میں بسنے والے مخلتف قومیت سے تعلق رکھنے والے بلوچ پشتون سندھی سرائیکی اردو اسپیکنگ عوام نے بھرپور شرکت کیا۔
ایک مسئلے کو ایڈریس کرنے کے بجائے پروپیگنڈہ کرنے سے زمینی حقائق تبدیل نہیں ہوتے بلکہ لوگوں کے دلوں میں نفرت کے مزید بیج بوئے جاتے ہیں جنکی جڑیں گہرے ہیں ۔
آج کراچی پریس کلب کے سامنے مخلتف مکاتب فکر سے تعلق رکھنے والے افراد کی شرکت اس بات کی دلیل ہے کہ ریاستی پروپیکنڈوں کو کوئی زی شعور فرد مانے کو تیار نہیں ہے زیر حراست لوگوں کو مار کر انکی لاشیں مسخ کرکے پھینکے سے کسی بھی خطے میں امن دیر پا نہیں رہتا اور یہ تجربہ بلوچستان میں گزشتہ دو دہائیوں سے جاری ہے اور نتیجہ ہم سب کی آنکھوں کے سامنے ہے۔

Yesterday, while speaking to Al Jazeera about the violent incidents on August 26, I clearly expressed my concern that state authorities, in retaliation, might kill forcibly disappeared people and later declare them insurgents. This pattern has been ongoing in Balochistan for some time, and today, nine bullet-riddled bodies were discovered—five from Khuzdar and four from Hub Choki. Six of those killed have been identified as forcibly disappeared persons. The state has miserably failed to contain the insurgency, and in this ongoing conflict between insurgents and the state, the civilians, beyond any ethnicity, continue to suffer, getting killed or injured, with the victims of enforced disappearances paying the highest price. This violence must immediately stop.

Neither of the so-called promoters of the soft-image of Balochistan, nor any of the federal ministers would find words to condemn this state violence. Speak up & stand up against this tyranny by telling the spade a spade. This is brutal state terrorism.
Multiple mutilated bodies of enforced disappearance victims have been recovered from various areas of Balochistan. This is deeply alarming. The state forcibly disappears individuals, holds them for months or years, then kills them and discards their mutilated bodies. This is nothing less than a Baloch genocide.

وہ آپ کے خلاف پروپیگنڈہ اس لیے نہیں کر رہے کہ آپ نے مذمت نہیں کی بلکہ وہ آپ کے خلاف پروپیگنڈہ اس لیے کر رہے ہیں کہ آپ نے بلوچ قوم کو بیدار کیا اور انہیں ظلم کے خلاف مزاحمت کی ترغیب دی۔
