ایک بیمار طالبعلم کی جبری گمشدگی قانون، انصاف اور انسانی وقار کے خلاف ہے۔ ریاست کی ذمہ داری ہے کہ اسے عدالت میں پیش کرے، نہ کہ خاموشی میں چھپا دے۔
ہم فوری اور بحفاظت رہائی کا مطالبہ کرتے ہیں۔

Mehrab Khalid, a filmmaking student, is the latest victim of enforced disappearance, reportedly taken by forces from Lahore. No profession, achievement, or distance offers protection. For Balochs, the reality remains the same: you can be picked up anywhere, at any time.
The Human Rights Council of Balochistan strongly condemns the enforced disappearance of Mehrab Khalid, a resident of Turbat, district Kech, and a Filmmaking student at the National College of Arts (NCA) Lahore.
He was taken away by Pakistani security forces on the night of 29 May at around 12:30 AM. Eight of his classmates were also detained and later released. Mehrab’s whereabouts remain unknown.
We demand his immediate and safe return, and full accountability for those responsible.

One year ago today, Mahjabeen Baloch, a 25-year-old Library Science student at the University of Balochistan and a polio survivor from Besima, Washuk, was forcibly disappeared.
On 29 May at 3 AM, police and plainclothes personnel abducted her from Civil Hospital Hostel, Quetta. Her whereabouts remain unknown to this day.
Her brother Younus was abducted from their home just five days earlier. He was tortured for months before being released.
We demand the immediate and safe return of Mahjabeen Baloch. If there are any allegations against her, produce her in a court of law — not in secret torture cells.

After CM Sarfraz Bugti’s comments about PhD holders and scholars, we are worried about the safety of educated Baloch youth. My cousin, MPhil student M. Rehan, was allegedly taken after being called to a military camp. We demand transparency and his safe release. #HumanRights
ان بچوں نے جب سے ہوش سنبھالا ہے ہر عید پر اپنے والد کی تصویر اٹھائے انکی بازیابی کے لیے احتجاج کرتی آرہی ہیں
بلوچستان کے موجودہ حالات پر بڑےبڑے دانشور بڑےبڑے تجزیہ کرتےہیں مار دو گھاڑ دو مگر جبری گمشدگیوں پر کوئی بات نہیں کرتا ریاستی بربریت پر کوئی بات نہیں کرتا جو اہم مسئلہ ہے
جبری لاپتہ صغیر بلوچ اور اقرار بلوچ کی ہمشیرہ نے وائس فار بلوچ مسنگ پرسنز (VBMP) کے زیر اہتمام عید کے روز کوئٹہ پریس کلب کے سامنے ہونے والے احتجاجی مظاہرے کے دوران اظہارِ خیال کرتے ہوئے کہا کہ ان کے بھائیوں کی عدم بازیابی کے باعث پورا خاندان شدید ذہنی دباؤ اور کرب کا شکار ہے.
PAKISTAN: Fareedullah Afridi, a member of the civil rights movement Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM), was abducted on the evening of 18 May 2026 from Peshawar city, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. The police have refused to file any First Information Report nor conducted any investigation into his disappearance despite requests from the family.
Fareedullah Afridi, is not the first PTM activist to be abducted without a trace. Amnesty International is concerned that Fareedullah’s disappearance fits into a worrying pattern of enforced disappearance of PTM activists and crackdown by state authorities.
Pakistani authorities must urgently carry out an effective, independent and transparent investigation into Afridi’s abduction. If he is in custody of the authorities, his whereabouts should be disclosed, he must be released immediately, and those responsible for his disappearance be held accountable in line with international human rights standards.
