Waziristan is not a prison. It is home. End the curfew, restore freedom of movement, and let civilians live with dignity and peace.

[Dr Rahim Syial @RahimSyial]

Seven years on, the Khar Qamar massacre remains a brutal symbol of state violence against peaceful PTM protesters. Sixteen lives taken, dozens injured—yet no justice, no accountability. The suffering in Waziristan continues under militarization and silence. The world must not ignore this. #KharQamarMassacre #PTMCanada

[Dr Rahim Syial @RahimSyial]

In Bajaur, no terrorist was killed only schoolchildren, still carrying their bags, were erased by a drone. Across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, drones and quadcopter bombs keep raining death on Pashtun children and women, as if their lives don’t matter. This is not a war on terror; it is a quiet, targeted war on an entire people.
@AmnestyInternational @amnesty @amnestysasia @HumanRightsWatch @UNICEF @HRCP @UNHumanRights how many more Pashtun graves must fill before you call this what it is: collective punishment of the innocent.

PTM Canada Condemns the Enforced Disappearance of Activist Farid Afridi in Peshawar

PTM Canada strongly condemns the reported abduction of peaceful activist Farid Afridi from Arbab Road, Peshawar.
This incident is not an isolated case but reflects a broader pattern of repression, where enforced disappearances, extrajudicial actions, and intimidation have become recurring practices in Pashtun and Baloch regions.
Such practices violate fundamental human rights and stand in direct contradiction to constitutional guarantees, democratic freedoms, and international human rights standards. Enforced disappearances create a climate of fear, silence dissent, and deny citizens access to legal protection and due process.
Communities in the Pashtun belt have long faced military operations, displacement, and severe economic and social consequences. The continued disappearance of political and civil society activists deepens this crisis.
PTM Canada calls upon:
• International human rights organizations
• UUnited Nations Human Rightsagencies
• The Government of Canada
• Global democratic institutions
to condemn these actions and raise urgent concern over the suppression of political and civil rights in the region.
We demand:
• Immediate and safe release of Farid Afridi
• Disclosure of whereabouts of all enforced disappeared persons
• End to enforced disappearances and political repression
PTM Canada reaffirms its commitment to peaceful struggle, human rights, and democratic freedoms.

Farid Afridi, a civil activist, was abducted from Peshawar’s Abdara Road by unknown individuals in plain clothes. His whereabouts remain unknown. Enforced disappearances are a grave violation of human rights. Raise your voice and demand justice.

Another voice silenced, another family left in pain. Farid Afridi has been missing since his abduction in Peshawar. We demand accountability and his immediate, safe return. Speak up.

Arif Afghan was killed for raising his voice for truth and dignity, but his memory cannot be silenced. Today we stand against repression, enforced disappearances, unlawful detentions, and the ongoing violence faced by PTM activists and Pashtuns. Justice must be heard.

وزیر صیب!

ستا ارمانونه لا هم زموږ په سینه کې لمبې وهي لا هم زموږ په رګونو کې د غیرت وینه ګرځي. لږ صبر وکړه دا ویده ولس به حتماً راویښېږي او چې راویښ شي د حق نارې به آسمان ولړزوي.

موږ ستا په لار ولاړ یو په ټینګه ژمنه کوو چې یو قدم به هم شاته نه شو. ستا وینه به رنګ راوړي، ستا ارمانونه به رښتیا کېږي او ستا غږ به د هر پښتون له زړه پورته کېږي.

ته لاړ نه یې ته ژوندی یې !
زموږ په فکر کې، زموږ په احساس کې او زموږ په مبارزه کې.

ستا دنګه له غیرت ډکه ځواني ، واخ واخ لر او بره چرته یاست !

[Dr Rahim Syial @RahimSyial]

Four names, countless broken hearts.
Hanif Pashteen, Noor Ullah Tareen, Ali Wazir, Haji Abdul Samad taken, targeted, silenced. This pain echoes in every home still waiting for answers. Enough is enough. End enforced disappearances now.

We are deeply troubled by the detention of Hanif Pashtin and Noorullah Tareen, along with reports of abuse. At the same time, Ali Wazir and Haji Abdul Samad continue to face extended imprisonment through repeated cases. Upholding due process, fair trials, and basic rights is

[Qudrat Alikhil @QAlikhil]

The disappearance of Noorullah Tareen and Haneef Pashteen is not an isolated incident.
It reflects a broader pattern of systemic oppression in Pashtun regions, where dissent is often met with intimidation, detention, or disappearance.

At the same time, we witness across-Durand-line many military actions causing civilian casualties in Afghanistan.
These patterns raise serious concerns about accountability and respect for human life.
