First, they pressured his father to speak against Zahir Noor. Then Ali Asghar was abducted and their home bulldozed. Now, their sister, Shaistha Baloch, has reportedly been abducted. The family says they are being punished for speaking out against what they call Baloch genocide.
The leaders of the Baloch Liberation movement have sacrificed their lives for an independent Balochistan.Their sacrifice shall not go in vain, but an independent Balochistan shall do justice to their sacrifice. The moral and national duty lies upon the people of Balochistan to continue the struggle for independence.
We honor the sacrifice made for the struggle of independent Balochistan and vow to continue this struggle until the independence of Balochistan.

Baloch Women Forum strongly condemns the forcible disappearance of Shaista Baloch, a Baloch woman with a serious cardiac condition, by CTD officials during a raid on her family home in Gwadar. According to her family, security personnel raided their home on two consecutive nights. During the first raid, a night before the latest incident, personnel ransacked the house, damaged household belongings and seized the family’s mobile phones. The following night, plainclothes personnel accompanied by CTD officials raided the residence again and forcibly disappeared Shaista Baloch . Her whereabouts have remained unknown since. Having previously undergone heart surgery, she requires regular medication, continuous treatment and medical supervision. Her disappearance without access to essential medical care poses a grave threat to her life.
The family has already endured successive violations. Shaista’s brother, Ali Asghar has remained forcibly disappeared since 16 April, while their family home was demolished on 6 July, leaving their elderly mother displaced and dependent on relatives for shelter. With both her children missing, their mother is now left confronting the anguish of not knowing their fate, while also struggling with the loss of her home. Repeated raids, the seizure of personal belongings, the disappearance of family members and the destruction of their home have stripped this family of any sense of security.
The escalating abductions of Baloch women and the normalization of their targeting constitute a deeply alarming expansion of repression in Balochistan. The cases of Mahjabeen Baloch, Nasreena Baloch, Habiba Peerjan and numerous other Baloch women demonstrate that women are increasingly exposed to abductions in their homes, educational institutions and everyday lives. These disappearances cannot be treated as disconnected incidents. They must be understood within the wider machinery of colonial domination, where coercion, collective punishment and violations of civilian life are used to subjugate a colonized population. This is the lived reality of countless Baloch families, whose lives are marked by disappearances, intimidation, displacement and the constant fear of losing their loved ones.
Baloch Women Forum demands the immediate disclosure of Shaista Baloch and Ali Asghar’s whereabouts and their safe, unconditional release. Shaista must be provided with urgent medical attention, uninterrupted access to her cardiac medication and an independent medical examination. We further demand an impartial investigation into both raids, the seizure of mobile phones, the destruction of household belongings and the demolition of the family’s home. Those responsible must be held accountable and the elderly mother must be protected from further harassment and intimidation.
The abduction of Baloch women must never become an accepted instrument of repression. Mahjabeen, Nasreena, Habiba, Shaista and countless other disappeared Baloch women represent lives forcibly interrupted and families left to endure immeasurable suffering. This is not the story of one household, it is the story of countless families across Balochistan living under the weight of colonial domination and collective punishment. Baloch Women Forum demands an immediate end to the targeting of Baloch women, the safe recovery of all disappeared persons and accountability for those responsible.

Zubair and Saqlain are both Univeristy fellow.
Both of them have been forcefully disappeared.
Never forget that, as students, we must also carry the burden of our fellow Baloch students.
Your voices matter.

In a joint statement on Friday, 23 organisations, including Alliance for Lawyers at Risk, Défense Sans Frontière, New York City Bar Association, Council of Bars and Law Societies of Europe, Geneva Bar Association, Lawyers for Lawyers, and PEN Norway, condemned the recent sentences and sought an end to the “extensive misuse” of the criminal justice system against the two lawyers.

Dr Naseem Baloch has himself experienced enforced disappearance, while his entire family has been subjected to collective punishment. His father, paternal uncle and maternal uncle remain forcibly disappeared.
We appeal to the Government of the Netherlands to stop Rashid Ahmed’s deportation to Pakistan.
His brother was extrajudicially killed, and Rashid fears that he could face the same fate if forced to return.
Please do not ignore his fears. His life and safety are at stake. We urge the Dutch authorities to show humanity and compassion and not send him back to a place where he fears for his life.
Save Rashid Ahmed. Stop his deportation!

Elahi Baksh, son of Rasool Baksh, was a 60-year-old shopkeeper from Naal, Balochistan. On October 30, 2026, at approximately 4:00 PM, FC personnel forcibly disappeared him from his home. Three days later, on November 2, 2026 his dead body was dumped in Laghorzard, Naal.
For three days, his children waited desperately for their father, hoping he would return home safely. Instead, they received his lifeless body. A family’s hope of seeing their father again was turned into lifelong grief.
Enforced disappearance and extrajudicial killing are grave violations of the fundamental rights to life, liberty, and human dignity. No one should be taken from their home, held in secret, and deprived of life outside the protection of the law. Elahi Baksh’s killing demands an independent investigation, accountability for those responsible, and justice for his family.
The Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) urgently appeals to national and international human rights organizations to take immediate action against the ongoing human rights violations in Balochistan.

3. Depending on the scale, systematic nature, circumstances and underlying policy, such acts amount to crimes against humanity, particularly the crime of forcible transfer of population.
2. Forcibly uprooting people from their ancestral lands, depriving them of their homes and traditional sources of livelihood, and doing so without consultation, adequate safeguards or any concrete plan for resettlement or compensation, constitute grave human rights violations.
1. Balochistan is witnessing a massive campaign of forced displacement, in which the military is reportedly using coercion, intimidation and brute force to displace local communities, particularly in the coastal region and the districts of Kalat, Mastung and Nushki.
