At the UNHRC 61st session in Geneva, I raised the 12 year long enforced disappearance of my brother Zahid Baloch. Moreover, highlighted the escalating use of collective punishment and the illegal detention of @MahrangBaloch_ on fabricated charges. #SaveZahidAndAsadBaloch
اما ہئوری کئی دن بسترِ مرگ پر رہنے کے بعد آج اس دنیا سے رخصت ہو گئیں۔
اما ہئوری اُن ماؤں کے قافلے کی ایک توانا اور باہمت ساتھی تھیں جو اپنے جبری طور پر گمشدہ بیٹوں کی تلاش میں برسوں سے دربدر ہیں۔ اب ہمیں اس بات کا شدید دکھ رہے گا کہ دن بھر احتجاج اور دھرنوں کی تھکن کے بعد ہمیں ہنسا دینے، ہمارا حوصلہ بڑھانے والی اماں ہئوری اب ہمارے درمیان موجود نہیں ہوں گی۔
دہائی سے زائد عرصے تک اؔما ہئوری ہمارے ہر احتجاج اور ہر دھرنے میں شریک رہیں۔ وہ مسلسل اپنے گمشدہ بیٹے کی بازیابی کا مطالبہ کرتی رہیں۔ مگر اس جدوجہد کا سب سے دردناک پہلو یہ ہے کہ وہ بھی بے شمار دوسری ماؤں کی طرح اپنے بیٹے کے انتظار اور اس کے غم کو دل میں لیے اس دنیا سے رخصت ہو گئیں۔
آج اماں ہئوری کی قبر تک تو پہنچ گئی ہے، مگر ان کے بیٹے کی تصویر اب بھی ان کی لاش کے سینے پر ایک خاموش چیخ بن کر وہی سوال دہرا رہی ہے۔
یہ تصویر اس ریاست کی بے حسی پر بڑا سوالیہ نشان ہے کہ ایک ماں نے چودہ برس تک پرامن احتجاج کیا، اپنے گمشدہ بیٹے کی واپسی کا سوال اٹھاتی رہی، مگر قبر تک پہنچ گئی اور یہ ریاست اس کے سوالوں کا کوئی جواب نہ دے سکی۔

Family of Hani Dilwash & Hair Nisa still waits. Authorities reopened the road for oil & gas, not the missing women. A mother’s tears show the truth: resources matter, Baloch women don’t. This is human rights abuse.
#SaveBalochWomen#StopBalochGenocide
No rules, no laws —
all stage, a theatre, nothing else.
Saw everything, yet saw nothing.
Heard all, yet nothing was heard.
All the words I had to say,
yet I had no words.
They spilled.
I wept.
I marched.
They shot.
I was crippled, yet I moved forward.
I was pulled.
I was killed.
Yet I stood.
First they took my brothers A son.
A father.
Now their eyes rest on the crown —
my sisters.
my mothers.
They silence the womb.
Name unborn.
Breath undone.
They feared my identity
They disappeared me from my home,
left my children behind
to witness them.
My land was snatched.
My dignity was torn.
My thoughts were blurred.
My slogans were prisoned.
They touched my motherland.
They touched my soul.
They left their imprints —
filth
on my soul.

#EndEnforcedDisappearances
The disappearance of a woman should alarm every woman, regardless of caste, ethnicity, or nationality. A human disappearance should trouble every conscience. And yet, an eight-months pregnant woman can be taken, and the world does not shudder. My letter to @mmatalpur
My uncle Rashid was abducted 7 years ago by Pakistani law enforcement his whereabouts still unknown, his existence now denied. Now my father Shafiq Zehri has been abducted too.
Police refuse to file our case.
This is injustice our voices are being silenced.

On International Human Rights Day | Documentary | Language: English
the Baloch National Movement (BNM) presents a brief documentary highlighting its claims about the human rights situation in Balochistan. According to the BNM, Balochistan has been under Pakistani control since 1948, with real authority held by the military rather than civilian institutions. The organization alleges widespread enforced disappearances, targeting students, academics, and those expressing Baloch cultural or national identity.
The documentary also highlights recent cases of women reportedly disappeared in 2025 Mahjabeen from Basima, Nasreena from Hub, and Farzana from Khuzdar presented by the BNM as part of a larger pattern of ongoing abuses.
The film concludes with the BNM’s appeal to international human rights organizations to investigate these allegations and hold the Pakistani state accountable.

The relentless witch-hunt against @ImaanZHazir & @AdvHadiali reflects their commitment to truth & justice for the most oppressed--victims of state violence, enforced disappearances & fake blasphemy charges. If anyone has carried the legacy of Asma Jahangir forward, it's Imaan.

A happy and lively soul who sings when the world is quiet, who dances when nothing goes the universal way,a teacher, a lecturer. But today, he has become a victim of enforced disappearance. Until when will we wake up every morning to such painful news?
Our report observes that Balochistan experienced a significant escalation in enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings during the first half of 2025. A key development during this period was Pakistan’s aggressive effort to leverage Balochistan’s resources amid the growing global competition between the United States and China for rare-earth elements (REEs). This economic agenda coincided with heightened attempts to suppress the Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) @BalochYakjehtiC , the most prominent organisation within Balochistan’s human rights movement. The Provincial Assembly of Balochistan @PaBalochistan@PakSarfrazbugti functioned as a central institutional mechanism for advancing both objectives.
