Mehrab Khalid, who was abducted 10 days ago, has been released. The collective resistance and support from students, lawyers, teachers, and civil society made this possible. His return brings immense relief to his family, friends, and the student community.
The struggle against enforced disappearances will continue with the same determination until every Baloch student is safely released and reunited with their family.
The issue of enforced disappearances in Balochistan has emerged as one of the most debated human rights concerns in Pakistan. Human rights organizations, civil society groups, and families of missing persons have reported cases in which Baloch activists, students, journalists, and ordinary citizens are alleged to have been subjected to enforced disappearance. Pakistani authorities, however, have often rejected or disputed many of these allegations, citing the complex security situation in the region. As a result, the issue continues to attract attention from national and international human rights organizations seeking transparency, accountability, and justice.

Baloch students are not targeted for crimes, but for their consciousness. Mehrab Khalid, a Film student at NCA Lahore and a talented photographer, was forcibly abducted.
A film student should be creating stories, not becoming one.

Good to hear that Shoaib Baloch, who was allegedly illegally abducted and detained for 385 days without any charge, has been released. However, the question still remains: how long will such harassment and enforced disappearances of Baloch youth continue, and on what basis?
these actions are causing severe mental and emotional trauma among among Baloch students, and resistance against these policies will continue until they end.

بلوچ طالب علم مہراب خالد کی جبری گمشدگی کی شدید الفاظ میں مذمت کرتے ہیں۔
بلوچ اسٹوڈنٹس کونسل پنجاب
بلوچ اسٹوڈنٹس کونسل پنجاب بلوچ طالب علم مہراب خالد کی تاحال عدم بازیابی پر شدید تشویش اور مذمت کا اظہار کرتی ہے۔
مہراب خالد کا تعلق بلوچستان کے شہر تُربَت سے ہ�� اور وہ اپنے خوابوں کی تعبیر اور فلم سازی (Filmmaking) کی تعلیم حاصل کرنے کے لیے لاہور میں زیرِ تعلیم تھے۔ 29 مئی کی رات وہ اپنے چند کلاس فیلوز کے ہمراہ ایک پروجیکٹ پر کام کرنے کی غرض سے اپنے ایک دوست کے گھر موجود تھے، جہاں سے انہیں دیگر ساتھیوں کے ساتھ حراست میں لیا گیا۔ بعد ازاں ان کے بیشتر ساتھیوں کو رہا کر دیا گیا۔ لیکن مہراب خالد تاحال رہا نہ ہوسکا۔
یہ انتہائی افسوسناک اور تکلیف دہ امر ہے کہ ایک بلوچ طالب علم، جو علم حاصل کرنے اور اپنے مستقبل کو سنوارنے کے لیے سینکڑوں میل دور اپنے گھر اور خاندان سے دور رہ رہا تھا، آج خود اپنے خاندان سے دور کر دیا گیا ہے۔ مہراب خالد کے اہلِ خانہ مسلسل بے چینی، اضطراب اور کرب کی کیفیت میں مبتلا ہیں اور اپنے پیارے کی واپسی کے منتظر ہیں۔
بلوچ طلبہ پہلے ہی تعلیمی میدان میں بے شمار مشکلات کا سامنا کر رہے ہیں۔ ایسے حالات میں کسی طالب علم کا اس طرح غائب ہو جانا نہ صرف اس کے خاندان بلکہ پورے بلوچ طالب علمی حلقے میں خوف اور تشویش کو جنم دیتا ہے۔ ایک نوجوان جو کیمرے اور قلم کے ذریعے اپنے خوابوں کی تعبیر ڈھونڈ رہا تھا، آج خود غیر یقینی صورتحال کا شکار ہے۔
بلوچ اسٹوڈنٹس کونسل پنجاب سمجھتی ہے کہ مہراب خالد کے اہلِ خانہ کو ان کے بارے میں معلومات فراہم کرنا اور انہیں اپنے خاندان کے پاس واپس لانا متعلقہ اداروں کی ذمہ داری ہے۔ کسی بھی خاندان کو اس اذیت سے دوچار رکھنا کہ وہ اپنے بچے کی خیریت تک سے لاعلم ہو، ایک نہایت تکلیف دہ صورتحال ہے۔
بلوچ اسٹوڈنٹس کونسل پنجاب انسانی حقوق کی تنظیموں، طلبہ تنظیموں، وکلاء، صحافیوں اور تمام انصاف پسند حلقوں سے اپیل کرتی ہے کہ وہ مہراب خالد کی بازیابی کے لیے آواز بلند کریں اور ان کے اہلِ خانہ کے ساتھ اظہارِ یکجہتی کریں۔
بلوچ اسٹوڈنٹس کونسل، پنجاب۔
