سوئی جہاں سے پورے پاکستان کو گیس ملتی ہے
لیکن وہاں کے باسیوں کیلئے اسکول نہیں
ڈیرہ بگٹی (سوئی روڈ، دشت گوران) میں بچوں نے اپنے اساتذہ کی غیر حاضری کے خلاف احتجاج کرتے ہوئے اسکول بند کر دیا اور اپنے تعلیم کے حق کا مطالبہ کیا۔
ایک سردار کو بلوچ پر مسلط کرنا بھی ریاست کے کارنامے ہیں ۔ مثال کے طور پر سردار کھتیران جسکے خفیہ ازیت خانوں میں ناجانے کتنے معصوم لوگ قتل ہوتے ہیں مگر ریاست یہ جانتے ہوئے بھی انکو بلوچستان اسمبلی میں منسٹری کا نشست دیا ہے

Today marks the seventh consecutive day of protests in Islamabad. For the past week, elderly mothers and young girls have been consistently denied permission to hold a peaceful demonstration outside the Islamabad Press Club.
A ban on protests and speaking out against human rights violations in Balochistan remains in place. Even when these women and children traveled to Islamabad to raise their voices peacefully, they were not allowed to do so.
It is crucial for human rights organizations to take a stand and speak out against this repression.

یہ جہاں زیب محمد حسنیٰ کی بیٹی ہے جو پانچویں جماعت میں پڑھتی ہے اس بچی کا باپ 2016 میں لاپتہ ہوا تو یہ صرف 3 ماہ کی تھی یہ 9 سال سے باپ کو ڈھونڈ رہی ہے اlباپ نے کوئی جرم کیا ہے تو اسے عدالت سے سزا دلوا دیں اس بچی کے ساتھ ظلم اور بلوچستان میں پنجابیوں کے ساتھ ظلم میں کوئی فرق نہیں
کوئٹہ سے ماہ جبین بلوچ کی جبری گمشدگی کوئی پہلا واقعہ نہیں، بلکہ بلوچستان میں جاری اُن ریاستی جارحانہ پالیسیوں کا تسلسل ہے جن کے تحت برسوں سے جبری گمشدگیاں اور ماورائے عدالت قتل جیسے مظالم مسلسل جاری ہیں۔ ماضی میں بھی متعدد ایسے واقعات رپورٹ ہو چکے ہیں، جن میں نہ صرف سیاسی کارکن بلکہ عام شہری، طلبہ اور خواتین بھی نشانہ بنے ہیں۔

24-year old student Mahjabeen Baloch was forcibly disappeared in the early hours of 29 May from Civil Hospital Quetta.
The State continues to behave like a thug - effectively tearing up the chapter on fundamental rights with complete impunity.
Students, women, minors, the elderly.. no one is safe

My Response to the DG ISPR and the Violence in Balochistan
Lastday , the Director General of the Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR) once again accused me of being a "proxy of terrorists", a serious and recurring allegation made without a single shred of credible evidence. This pattern of unsubstantiated claims has become a disturbing hallmark of the DG ISPR's public statements.
He further stated: "She (I) was the one who came seeking the dead bodies of the terrorists killed in the Jaffer Express hijacking incident. Who is she to seek the corpses?"
Let me be clear: that particular press conference was widely misused, fabricated, and taken out of context to distort my message During my press conference in March, I did not condone any act of violence. My only demand was transparency. I asked for the identities of unidentified individuals, beyond the twelve named militants, who were buried in the dead of night at Quetta's Kasi graveyard. These unidentified bodies deserve to be named, and their families have a fundamental right to know the fate of their loved ones. This demand is not only moral but a legal right in any civilized society.
For years, a disturbing pattern has emerged in Balochistan: following any violent incidents, law enforcement agencies have been involved in killing and secretly burying forcibly disappeared persons, later labeling them "militants." In the Jaffer Express case, the armed group responsible publicly released the names, photos, and details of the twelve men involved. Yet over two dozen bodies were brought to Civil Hospital Quetta. My question was: who were the others? Why were they buried in secrecy?
Once again, in response to the DG ISPR's latest accusations, I ask: where is the evidence? If Pakistan's intelligence and military institutions are as capable as they claim, why has no proof ever been presented against me?
My activism is peaceful, principled, and grounded in universal human rights values. I have consistently condemned violence, whether committed by non-state actors or the state itself. But Balochistan today is a landscape scarred by systemic repression, enforced disappearances, and a complete breakdown of justice and accountability. Rather than address these realities, the state chooses to vilify those who dare to speak the truth.
The international community must take note. The people of Balochistan deserve justice, not smear campaigns. They deserve answers, not threats. And above all, they deserve to live without fear.
Sincerely,
Mahrang Baloch
HRCP is alarmed by reports that several children were killed and others injured, allegedly in a suspected munitions drop in Hurmuz village, North Waziristan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. While the source of the strike remains unclear, the reportedly continued use of drones in civilian areas is deeply concerning and constitutes a grave violation of human rights, including the fundamental right to life. HRCP supports the local community’s demand for an independent investigation into the incident.
Ten young, educated Baloch youth were forcefully disappeared from the heart of Pakistan last night from their apartment, just near Islamabad—the very capital where the media, civil society, INGOs, advocacy groups, parliament, supreme court and foreign missions are based.
Secrete intelligence agencies kidnapped the brightest minds of the Baloch people right in front of them all. Now imagine what has been happening in Balochistan for decades, where there is no media, no active civil society, no rights groups and no INGOs. When I repeatedly say 'Baloch genocide,' this is why: the best of the Baloch are disappeared, killed, or held in dungeons for years. And now, this violence has reached Islamabad.

Why Gwadar is a red line
In the last couple of weeks, paramilitary soldiers have harassed, abducted, and killed Baloch activists, and blocked the roads leading to Gwadar. All this is to disrupt a rally planned by the Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) in the coastal town tomorrow, despite assurances from the organisers that the protest would remain peaceful.
Those unfamiliar with the politics of Balochistan might have questions about what makes Gwadar so precious that the State is determined to shield it from the world. Chief Minister Balochistan Sarfaraz Bugti offered an explanation, saying that the State would react with force if the venue was not changed because "Gwadar is an international city". Whatever that means.
Gwadar has been at the heart of the conflict between the State and Baloch nationalists for over two decades. Once an insignificant coastal town in the eyes of most Pakistanis, it became the focus of attention at the turn of the century when General Pervez Musharraf's military government, with Chinese assistance, began constructing a deep-sea port. The project was billed as a game-changer for Pakistan.
However, the Baloch feared they would be deemed undesirables in their own land, as they were excluded from future maps of Gwadar, which envisioned a transformation into a modern metropolis like Dubai or Singapore. Their fears soon materialised. Wealthy individuals from other provinces, drug lords, corrupt politicians, and retired generals exploited their poverty and bought up vast tracts of land. Messy development projects displaced fishermen, cutting off their access to the sea, and eventually, the movement of Gwadaris was severely restricted in their own city. They were left without basic necessities, and had to live with the constant fear of being kicked out of Gwadar.
Local media reported from time to time that the natives of Gwadar might be relocated, that the town could be fenced, or that entry might require a pass. Establishment figures dismissed these reports as anti-State propaganda. However, events of the last 20 years, such as efforts to disrupt the BYC’s Sunday rally, have made clear those reports were not mere propaganda. The State’s attitude has remained unchanged. Gwadar is off-limits; the people of Balochistan are not welcome.
For the Baloch, Gwadar is a red line, too—not because it is more precious than other parts of Balochistan, but because it is the most vulnerable. Since it was chosen for mega projects, the state of Pakistan has tried to alienate it from the rest of Balochistan. The Baloch fear that if Gwadar is completely lost, the rest of Balochistan will follow. They are resisting for their sea, their land, and their lives. They organise rallies to survive.
The State, on the other hand, considers Gwadar a red line because it wants to hide and advertise it the way it wants. The true Gwadar—where locals face daily reminders of occupation through harassment and abductions—must remain hidden. The BYC and the media must never talk about it. Because the State prefers to showcase a Gwadar of shiny skyscrapers, modern airports, and happy faces, all of which exist only in the fantastic world of Photoshop.
🚨 Today, July 27, protesters' vehicles heading to Gwadar were attacked by forces in Mastung. Eleven people were injured, with three in critical condition.
The struggle for justice in Balochistan needs global solidarity. The Human Rights Council of Balochistan stands with the people of Balochistan.

Baloch people have overcome state oppression and again continue their journey to Gwadar. This display of resilience and determination is a testament to their spirit and the importance of the cause they represent.
