My first encounter with a protest was in 2005. As a child, I had no idea what was happening in #Balochistan. Someone told me that her brother, Hanif Shareef, was forcibly disappeared by the Army. Hanif was released, but today, Syed Bibi herself has been forcibly disappeared 💔
Enforced Disappearance of Mehrab Khalid

PAANK strongly condemns the enforced disappearance of Mehrab Khalid, son of Muhammad Khalid, a 21-year-old film student from Overseas Colony, Turbat, Kech.
According to reports, personnel linked to ISI, MI, and CTD detained Mehrab from the Anarkali area of Lahore at approximately 12:30 AM on 29 May 2026. Since then, his whereabouts have remained unknown.
PAANK calls for the immediate disclosure of Mehrab Khalid’s whereabouts and his unconditional and safe release.

The bloodshed in Kuntani, Gwadar is another brutal reminder that the lives of Baloch civilians continue to be treated as expendable under militarized policies in Balochistan. Reports of security forces opening fire on unarmed Baloch labourers, resulting in multiple deaths and injuries, expose the violent reality hidden behind state narratives of “development” and “security.” The people of Gwadar are facing bullets, checkpoints, disappearances, and collective punishment while their homeland is handed over for strategic and economic interests.
For years, the Baloch population in Gwadar has endured militarization, intimidation, arbitrary detentions, and systematic exclusion from their own resources and coastline. The same region promoted globally as an economic gateway has become a place where indigenous families struggle for basic survival, access to water, freedom of movement, and safety from state violence. A development model built on fear, repression, and the silencing of local communities cannot be called progress.
The international community must stop ignoring the worsening human rights crisis in Balochistan. The continued targeting of civilians, enforced disappearances, and deadly crackdowns demand immediate independent investigation and accountability. Silence in the face of these violations only strengthens impunity and prolongs the suffering of the Baloch people.
#StopBalochGenocide
Pakistan's notorious terrorist army opened fire on innocent Baloch laborers in the Kantani Jiwani area of Balochistan, killing and injuring dozens. This atrocity is part of the ongoing war against the Baloch people by Pakistan, which must be condemned. We denounce this violence and urge the world to support us in opposing the Pakistani army's terrorism against the Baloch nation. #Balochistan #BalochPeople #HumanRights #StopTheViolence #Pakistan
DK Baloch was a gold medalist and a highly creative individual. He was among the youngest to complete his master’s degree and was appointed as a lecturer. It is truly heartbreaking to see young members of our generation being killed without any trace or accountability. 💔

Day 150 since Changaiz was taken.
Life moves on, work, school, seasons, but his absence stays.
Remember silence & questions. Naming him is resistance.
No one should vanish for books & culture.
We keep asking till he’s back.
