On around 17 Dec this year, security forces have abducted a 13-year old Balach S/O Sabrullah, R/O Sordo (Panjgur) after torturing the child. Since then, his whereabouts are unknown. Forces are continuously harassing civilians in the name of security. #EndEnforcedDisappearances

The fact is, atrocities are a priority irrespective of the resistance. However, the resistance, in any form, is its ultimate counter force. Without the later, human existence is none, but slave, coward and lifeless. #SaveRashidHussain Photo source: Human Rights Commission of Balochistan

In a colonized region, the law, like the oppressed, is traumatized and paralyzed too. Anees Baloch of Khuzdar is a victim of unconstitutional state’s institutional practice. Coercion is the prime practice to forcefully convict the alleged, innocent Baloch. #SaveAneesBaloch

6 y-e-a-r-s! It is not only a number. It holds thousands of emotions, waits, traumatization, tireless nights and days, vociferations, resistance, and above all, a quest: where is Rashid Hussain? #SaveRashidHussain #ReleaseRashidHussain

Instead of white-coat walking doctors, the black-coat walking police have seized the educational institute – Bolan Medical College (BMC)– against which students have organized a protesting sit-in in the college for the last 19 days. This is Balochistan. #StopMilitarisationOfBMC

On Dec 13, 2024, as per sources, forces detained a youth from Machh, identified as Duran Khan S/O Tikri Abu Bakr, from Machh Bazaar in the Bolan region. His family is uninformed of his whereabouts, who are concerned for his safety. EDs have veiled the whole of Balochistan.

As December arrives, we become opportunists to post on you and tell how your departure has turned us to mourning. But hopefully, we, as a nation, will collectively focus on the guidance you rendered – as part of the opportunity to post on you. #Lumma_E_Watan

What is very important [in ending the dilemma of enforced disappearances] is shaping the psyche of the people in which political institutions can play a vital role. My latest for @BolanVoiceB Note: Some facts have changed because of changing situations. bolanvoice.wordpress.com/2024/12/13/t...

The burning Balochistan

By Ali Jan Maqsood For a Baloch to disappear, it is a usual trend that does not shock the Baloch masses because it has been a common phenomenon for the last two decades. Not only enforced disappear…

They are the present and future of the Baloch. But it won't satisfy the state to keep them peacefully engaged in education. Hence, sometimes hostels, institutes are closed while other times students are disappeared from within and outside campuses. #SaveBMC #StopMilitarisation

From the Balochistan lenses, it is no surprise that it is nothing but an educational institute – the Bolan Medical College (BMC) – under the military seizure. Students are forcibly evacuated, who are protesting at the main gate of varsity demanding: #SaveBMC #StopMilitarisation

Instead of Oxford and Harvard, these students only demand an end to militarisation and closure of their educational institutes and hostels. This shows how govt uses media narratives to call Baloch anti-educational, while they themselves are as such. #SaveBMC #StopMilitarisation

Talal Umer Baloch is one among those abducted from Dasht Khuddan on December 10, 2014 – the International Human Rights Day. Until now, his whereabouts remain unknown. His family is concerned and demands his immediate and safe release from “state torture cells”.

LEAs’ use of excessive powers, rendered by the so-called public representatives, is a direct hint that human rights in Balochistan, along with the media, are a blackout. Stopping BMC students from the protest against militarisation of institutes is the series of such violations.

Quetta Police have ‘illegally’ locked the main gate of Bolan Medical College (BMC), not allowing students to record their rally from BMC to Provincial Assembly. Police say they have orders from DC and DSP while not showing it to the students, saying they are “not bound to do so”.

Student organizations urge BMC students to stay firm against “anti-educational policies of BMC administration” by opening a portal for hostel registration, while urging them to refrain from submission. They call for a protesting rally on Friday from BMC to Provincial Assembly.

As Human Rights Day nears, Baloch rights violations increase. Since December has begun, everyday around 4/5 people (average) are abducted, and dead bodies are recovered. On the occasion of Human Rights Day, Baloch question the world of their ‘lame claims’ of human rights.

Militarisation, apart from its physical existence, is a mentality, a narrative. This is how psyches/mentalities are shaped in a colony. Through this, the state institutions do not only seize the educational apartments, but also dismiss the role of civil institutions in every way. #BMC
