Chief Minister Sindh Syed Murad Ali Shah and PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari: I demand your immediate explanation. Just now, law enforcement personnel and intelligence officials raided my family home without my knowledge or presence. If this has been carried out under your government, you owe the public an explanation. If it has not, then you have a responsibility to explain who is operating with such impunity in Sindh.
This follows repeated visits to our home over the past week, amounting to a sustained pattern of intimidation and harassment directed at me and my family.
My family home has been empty for the past two days. During that time, police and intelligence personnel have repeatedly come to the property, arriving in approximately fifteen vehicles and harassing my neighbours.
I am placing on public record my grave concern over this unlawful intrusion. Any unauthorized entry into my home raises serious fears about my family’s safety, the integrity of our property, and the possibility that evidence could be planted, surveillance devices installed, or my residence otherwise compromised in an attempt to fabricate allegations against me or malign my name. Given the continued harassment of human rights defenders, these are not abstract fears.
I demand immediate answers. Which agency entered my family’s home? Under whose authority was this operation carried out? Was there any warrant authorizing this raid? If so, it must be produced without delay. If there are any allegations against me, the law provides clear legal procedures. Secretive raids, repeated visits, and unlawful intrusions into my family’s residence are not among them.
My family’s home is not a crime scene. It is not a place where state institutions can enter at will, intimidate our neighbours, or conduct unexplained operations without accountability.
I am also placing this on record: if anything is removed from my family’s home, if anything is later claimed to have been recovered from it, or if any case is built against me on the basis of evidence allegedly found there following today’s illegal intrusion, I will hold the authorities fully responsible. I likewise hold them responsible for my family’s safety, for any damage to our property, and for anything that may subsequently happen to our home as a consequence of today’s unlawful entry.
Before being sentenced to life imprisonment, Dr. Mahrang Baloch spoke from solitary confinement about resistance, human rights, and the future of Balochistan.
Read her recent interview:
https://t.co/MGAEDucLU9
Mahrang Baloch and Sibgatullah sb getting life imprisonment is not only harsh but unfortunate. It sends out a clear message to other activists across Pakistan that peaceful activism is not tolerated.
Sarfraz Bugti’s statement on the life sentences awarded to Dr. Mahrang Baloch and Sibghatullah Baloch is not the voice of a government confident in justice. It is the voice of a puppet celebrating punishment.
He calls it a “two-year legal struggle.” Balochistan knows what those two years looked like. A case that was never proved through credible evidence. A process pushed forward through exclusion and coercion. A trial emptied of the accused, emptied of their chosen lawyers, emptied of the basic safeguards without which a courtroom becomes only a room where power speaks to itself.
If the Chief Minister had any regard for law, he would not be boasting today. He would be ashamed of what was done in its name.
He speaks of justice for Shabbir Baloch. But justice is not secured by forcing a verdict through a mutilated process. Justice is not produced by denying access to families and lawyers, replacing defence counsel with state-appointed lawyers, and then presenting the outcome as proof that the state was right all along. A conviction does not become credible because a minister celebrates it. A sentence does not become lawful because power claps for it.
And if the Government of Balochistan has suddenly discovered its concern for human life, then where is its concern for the four Baloch citizens killed by security forces during the Raji Muchi? Hamdan, Asghar, Hikmat and Naseer were not in uniform, so their lives are worthless yes? Where is its grief for the more than thirty people injured? Where is the fair investigation, the accountability, the courtroom, the outrage? What tells this government that one life can be used to sanctify state violence, while other lives can be thrown into silence?
The Baloch people are not insects to be crushed under the boots of officials drunk on impunity. They are not props in the state’s theatre of national security. They are citizens, families, students, workers, mothers, daughters and sons, and they have the right to ask why their dead are denied justice, why their wounded are denied truth, and why their leaders are dragged through courts designed to punish them before any judgment is written.
Dr. Mahrang Baloch and Sibghatullah Baloch have been sentenced because the state fears peaceful politics more than it fears violence. It fears the discipline of protest, the language of rights, the insistence on accountability, and the courage of people who refuse to let you forget your own so-called laws.
Sarfraz Bugti may congratulate himself today. He may call vengeance justice and call repression law. But history will not remember this verdict as justice for Shabbir Baloch. It will remember it as another document in the long record of how the state buried due process in Balochistan and expected the Baloch people to applaud at the funeral.

Five months have passed since LEAs took Hakim Baloch—he is still missing.Behind him, a mother sheds prayers and tears,and three sisters, who should have been laughing on Eid,now spend their days in silence, drowned in grief,making posters of hope, longing for his return..

After 73 days of protest in Islamabad, facing violence, threats, and the challenges of heavy rain and extreme heat, we are today calling off our sit-in in Islamabad.
This 73-day protest is historic. We journeyed thousands of miles from Balochistan to Islamabad, aiming to have a dialogue on enforced disappearances with the federal government of Pakistan. However, the state refused to engage and instead used repression, force, deportation attempts, eviction, and fabricated cases against those who showed solidarity with us.
This stains Islamabad and its rulers. Our struggle continues. We will return to Balochistan to share our experiences of being treated as outsiders, immigrants, and foreigners rather than fellow citizens.
Thank you to all who stood with us. As we end this sit-in, we expose Islamabad’s hypocrisy and double standards to the world.
Our movement stays peaceful and nonviolent. Regardless of what Islamabad does, this struggle for justice will continue. Thank you to those who stood with us during these challenging times.

Saeed was about to rejoin classes by September 8, but the state decided that the fate of the Baloch must be something else. For over two months he has been kept in dungeons, denied even the basic right to a fair trial.

It has been more than one month since Attaullah Baloch, a father of two little children, went missing.
Every day without him is unbearable for our family, particularly his two kids.
