This causes goosebumps in my soul. How can one ignore this? These are the children of a land that is known as one of the richest areas in terms of natural resources. Today, they are victims of nature, literally. #OccupiedBalochistan

شائستہ نور کلمتی کی جبری گمشدگی بلوچ خواتین کو خوفزدہ کرنے اوربلوچ خاندانوں کو اجتماعی سزا دینے کی پالیسی کا حصہ ہے۔
بلوچ یکجہتی کمیٹی
بلوچستان میں ہر روز ریاستی فورسسز بدترین انسانی حقوق کے پامالیاں کر رہے ہیں، اور بلوچ نسل کشی کے تسلسل میں آئے روز شدت لائی جارہئ ہے۔ گوادر کے علاقے جیونی، پانوان میں 9 نومبر کی رات تقریباً ایک بجے 21 سالہ شائستہ نور کلمتی، دخترِ نور محمد کلمتی، کو گھر سے جبری طور پر اٹھا کر لاپتہ کر دیا گیا۔ شائستہ دل کے عارضے میں مبتلا ہیں، ان کی دل کی سرجری بھی ہو چکی ہے اور انہیں مسلسل علاج، ادویات اور طبی نگرانی کی ضرورت ہے۔ انہیں خون کی بیماری بھی لاحق ہے، جس کے باعث ان کی زندگی اور صحت کو فوری خطرات لاحق ہیں۔ ایک ایسی نوجوان خاتون کو، جس کی زندگی مسلسل طبی نگہداشت سے وابستہ ہے، گھر سے اٹھا کر تحویل میں رکھنا ان کی صحت، زندگی اور بنیادی حقوق کی سنگین پامالی ہے۔
شائستہ نور کلمتی کو آج کاؤنٹر ٹیررازم ڈیپارٹمنٹ نے عدالت میں پیش کیا، جہاں سے انہیں ایک ہفتے کے جسمانی ریمانڈ پر بھیج دیا گیا۔ اطلاعات کے مطابق، تقریباً دو سال قبل انہیں ایک نامعلوم ایف آئی آر میں نامزد کیا گیا تھا۔ اگر ان کے خلاف کوئی مقدمہ درج تھا تو قانون کے مطابق انہیں گرفتار کرکے بروقت عدالت میں پیش کیا جانا چاہیے تھا، نہ کہ رات کی تاریکی میں گھر پر چھاپہ مار کر انہیں زبردستی اٹھایا جاتا اور ان کے خاندان کو خوف و ہراس میں مبتلا کیا جاتا۔ کسی مقدمے میں نامزدگی کسی فرد کو جبری گمشدگی، غیر قانونی حراست یا اس کے بنیادی انسانی حقوق سلب کرنے کا جواز فراہم نہیں کرتی۔
شائستہ کی جبری گمشدگی واحد سانحہ نہیں بلکہ اس خاندان کو طویل عرصے سے مسلسل ریاستی دباؤ، چھاپوں اور اجتماعی سزا کا نشانہ بنایا جا رہا ہے۔ 2 اپریل کو پاکستانی فورسز نے ان کے گھر کا محاصرہ کیا، تاہم اس وقت کوئی واقعہ پیش نہیں آیا۔ دو روز بعد فورسز پولیس کے ہمراہ دوبارہ رات کے وقت گھر پہنچیں اور اہلِ خانہ سے پوچھ گچھ کی۔ 16 اپریل کو دوبارہ گھر پر چھاپہ مار کر شائستہ کے بھائی سترہ سالہ علی اصغر کلمتی کو اپنے ساتھ لے جایا گیا، جو تاحال جبری گمشدگی کا شکار ہیں۔ اس کے محض تین روز بعد، 19 اپریل کی رات، فورسز ایک بار پھر گھر میں داخل ہوئیں اور خاندان کے واحد معاشی سہارے، تقریباً پچیس لاکھ روپے مالیت کے انجن کو اپنے ساتھ لے گئیں۔ عید کی رات بھی گھر پر فورسسز نے دھاوا ڈالا تاہم گھر میں صرف والدہ اور تین بہنیں موجود ہونے کے باعث اہلکار بغیر کسی کارروائی کے واپس چلے گئے۔
6 جولائی کو خاندان کا گھر بھی مسمار کر دیا گیا، جس کے بعد گھر میں موجود بوڑھوں و بچوں کو عارضی پناہ کے لیے در بدر پھرنا پڑھا۔ ایک ہی بلوچ خادان سے ان کا گھر، روزگار کا واحد ذریعہ اور بیٹا اور بیٹی چھین لیے گئے۔
8 نومبر کو اہلکار ایک بار پھر گھر پہنچے، اہلِ خانہ پر تشدد کیا اور شائستہ کو اپنے ساتھ لے جانے کی کوشش کی، تاہم گھر والوں کی مداخلت کے باعث وہ اس وقت انہیں لے جانے میں کامیاب نہ ہو سکے۔ اگلی رات زیادہ نفری کے ساتھ دوبارہ چھاپہ مارا گیا۔ اس کارروائی میں کاؤنٹر ٹیررازم ڈیپارٹمنٹ (CTD) سے منسلک مرد و خواتین اہلکار سادہ لباس میں ملبوس تھے۔ اہلکاروں نے گھر کی تلاشی کے دوران توڑ پھوڑ کی، سامان کو نقصان پہنچایا اور خاندان کے موبائل فون بھی قبضے میں لے لیے، جبکہ شائستہ کو زبردستی اپنے ساتھ لے گئے۔
بلوچ خواتین کو ان کے گھروں، تعلیمی اداروں اور روزمرہ زندگی میں خوف، ہراسانی اور جبری گمشدگیوں کا سامنا کرنا پڑ رہا ہے۔ خواتین کو نشانہ بنانا، خاندانوں کو معاشی طور پر مفلوج کرنا، گھروں کو مسمار کرنا اور بچوں کو جبری طور پر لاپتہ کرنا بلوچستان میں ریاستی جبر اور اجتماعی سزا کی ایک منظم صورت اختیار کر چکا ہے۔ یہ اقدامات بلوچ معاشرے کو خوف، عدم تحفظ اور بے یقینی میں مبتلا رکھنے کی پالیسی کا حصہ ہیں۔ پانوان میں مسلسل چھاپوں، گھروں کی مسماری اور ہراسانی کے باعث مقامی آبادی کی زندگی بری طرح متاثر ہوئی ہے اور ہزاروں خاندان نقل مکانی پر مجبور ہوئے ہیں۔
بلوچ یکجہتی کمیٹی مطالبہ کرتی ہے کہ شائستہ نور کلمتی کو فوری طور پر رہا کیا جائے، ان کی صحت اور زندگی کے تحفظ کو یقینی بنایا جائے اور انہیں فوری طور پر مکمل طبی سہولیات فراہم کی جائیں۔ ان کی بیماریوں اور سابقہ دل کی سرجری کے پیشِ نظر علاج میں کسی قسم کی تاخیر ان کی زندگی کے لیے خطرناک ثابت ہو سکتی ہے۔ علی اصغر کلمتی کو بھی فوری طور پر منظرِ عام پر لا کر بحفاظت بازیاب کیا جائے۔ اس خاندان کو مزید ہراسانی، دباؤ اور ریاستی جبری کارروائیوں سے تحفظ فراہم کیا جائے، جبکہ گھر کی مسماری، معاشی نقصان اور مسلسل چھاپوں کے ذمہ داروں کا احتساب کیا جائے۔

ENFORCED DISAPPEARANCES CONTINUE THROUGHOUT BALOCHISTAN
Paank Condemns the Enforced Disappearance of Shaista Noor Kalmati, Sister of Disappeared Minor Ali Asghar, in Gwadar
GWADAR, BALOCHISTAN: Paank strongly condemns the enforced disappearance of Shaista Noor Kalmati, daughter of Noor Muhammad Kalmati, a 21-year-old woman. Pakistan Army raided a house in Panwan village, Jimuri tehsil, Gwadar district, during the night of 8-9 November 2026, abducted her and forcibly disappeared her.
Shaista is the elder sister of Ali Asghar Kalmati, a minor whom Pakistani forces had already forcibly disappeared on 16 April 2026 following an abduction-style arrest.
Her elder brother, Zaheer Noor, is a prominent human rights activist in the area. He has previously faced imprisonment and cases for protesting against enforced disappearances. To avoid extrajudicial arrest by the Pakistan Army, Zaheer Noor is among those from Panwan who have been forcibly displaced.
According to eyewitnesses and family members, a Pakistan Army team of male and female personnel raided the house at around 1:00 a.m. and took Shaista away. A day earlier, soldiers had attacked the same house, beaten family members and tried to abduct Shaista, but the family intervened and thwarted the attempt. The second time, the forces returned in greater numbers and succeeded in taking her.
Family sources say Shaista is ill and was under medical treatment. She suffers from a heart condition and a blood disorder, which require intensive care and continuous treatment. Without medical care in custody, her health is at grave risk.
Like dozens of other families in Panwan, the family is a target of collective punishment. The Pakistan Army has also demolished homes belonging to these families. After repeated house demolitions, abduction-style arrests and enforced disappearances, large numbers of people have left Panwan and moved to Western Balochistan.
In the area, the Pakistan Army, besides its direct actions, harasses people through its local death squads. Under economic and social siege, the local population lives under severe psychological pressure and constant fear, and many families have become internally displaced in their own homeland. Those who relocated to Karachi and other cities have also been targeted with enforced disappearances and arrests. Because of unsafe conditions, dozens of families have moved to Iranian-administered Western Balochistan.
Even there, the Pakistan Army continues to target these families through hired assassins and to pressure them by other means. Peaceful civilians are living through extremely grave conditions of survival and security.
Paank demands the immediate and safe recovery of Shaista Noor Kalmati and her brother Ali Asghar Kalmati. Pakistani authorities must disclose their whereabouts and release them immediately. Shaista must be given urgent and proper medical care.
Paank urges international human rights organizations, the United Nations and the international community to take urgent notice of the continued enforced disappearances of Baloch women, minors, students and civilians, and to press Pakistan to end this practice.

Paank Strongly Condemns the Killing of 17-Year-Old Sameer Nasir Baloch Following His Enforced Disappearance
Paank strongly condemns the killing of 17-year-old Sameer Nasir Baloch, a student and resident of Gubord, Mand, Balochistan, whose body was recovered near the water supply in Dazan following his enforced disappearance.
According to reports, Sameer, son of Nasir Baloch, was forcibly taken by Frontier Corps (FC) personnel during a military raid on Gubord village at approximately 2:00 a.m. on 24 October 2026. He was abducted from the residence of Shakari Pir Muhammad. During the raid, security personnel reportedly harassed and threatened women and children, searched multiple homes, and looted cash, gold, and other belongings.
Sameer was abducted alongside three other individuals: Waseem Baloch (17), a student, taken from Master Rafiq's residence; and brothers Sagheer Baloch (30), a farmer, and Zaheer Baloch (27), a tractor driver, both taken from their homes in Gubord. Their whereabouts remain unknown.
The recovery of Sameer's body raises grave concerns about extrajudicial killing, enforced disappearance, and the safety of those still missing. Enforced disappearance and extrajudicial execution constitute serious violations of international human rights law and must never be tolerated.
Paank calls for an immediate, independent, impartial, and transparent investigation into Sameer's death, with all those responsible held accountable in accordance with international standards. Authorities must immediately disclose the whereabouts of Waseem, Sagheer, and Zaheer, ensure their safe recovery, and provide their families with information about their fate.
Paank further urges the relevant authorities to end enforced disappearances, arbitrary arrests, and unlawful military operations against civilians in Balochistan. The families of victims deserve truth, justice, and accountability, not silence and impunity.
Enforced disappearance is a crime. Extrajudicial killing is a violation of the right to life. Justice for Sameer Nasir Baloch.

Dr Naseem Baloch Meets UN Committee Members, Calls for Pakistan to Be Held Accountable
Thursday, 5 November 2026 | #BNMChairman

Dr Naseem Baloch, Chairman of the Baloch National Movement (BNM), raised serious human rights violations in Balochistan with members of the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR) during Pakistan’s second periodic review. He called on the Committee to hold Pakistan accountable for failing to meet its international obligations. He also urged the United Nations to set up a dedicated mechanism to investigate and monitor human rights violations in Balochistan, and to give the Baloch nation a formal platform where its voice can be heard directly.
Dr Naseem Baloch met Committee members Michael Windfuhr and Julieta Rossi and told them about enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, collective punishment, and the denial of basic economic, social and cultural rights to the Baloch nation. He said these conditions cannot be separated from Pakistan’s systematic repression of the Baloch nation.
Describing enforced disappearances and collective punishment in detail, he said thousands of Baloch families have lived through this ordeal, and its effects reach far beyond the direct victims. Families lose their breadwinners, children lose their chance at an education, and entire households are pushed into poverty.
He also raised concern over the imprisonment of Baloch human rights defenders, including Dr Mahrang Baloch and other leaders of the Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC). He cited the sentences handed to Imaan Mazari and her husband Hadi Ali Chattha as an example of how harshly peaceful people who speak up for Baloch rights are punished.
Citing Article 1 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), Dr Naseem Baloch reminded the Committee that all peoples have the right to self-determination, including the right to freely dispose of their natural wealth and resources. He also referred to Articles 11, 12 and 13, which protect the rights to an adequate standard of living, health and education.
Challenging Pakistan’s claim to be meeting these obligations, he asked: “How can Pakistan claim compliance while these rights are being denied in Balochistan?”
He told Committee members: “We are not asking for sympathy. We are demanding justice, accountability and our fundamental rights.”
Dr Naseem Baloch also attended the Committee’s formal review session, where a Pakistani delegation of about 12 representatives appeared to answer questions on the country’s implementation of the Covenant. During the session, Julieta Rossi repeatedly asked about the situation in Balochistan, and Michael Windfuhr also raised issues concerning the region. Their questions made Balochistan part of the Committee’s formal review of Pakistan.
At the end of the session, Dr Naseem Baloch gave further dossiers to the Committee Chair and to members L. E. Perez and Fiorio Vaesken. The dossiers set out human rights violations in Balochistan and what they mean under the Covenant.
Fiorio Vaesken showed particular interest in the documents. He reviewed them himself, pointed out several issues that fall within the Committee’s mandate, and assured Dr Naseem Baloch that he would raise these matters before the Committee the next day.

Paank strongly condemns the enforced disappearance and subsequent extrajudicial killing of Ellahi Bakhsh, son of Rasool Bakhsh, a resident of Sardari Bazaar Naal, Khuzdar, Balochistan, who worked as a mechanic.
According to reports, Ellahi Bakhsh was forcibly disappeared by Pakistani security forces from Naal Bazaar. Four days later, his bullet-riddled body was discovered in Istakhali village near Naal, Khuzdar, on 3 November 2026.
His killing is yet another alarming incident reflecting the persistent pattern of enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings in Balochistan. Such acts constitute grave violations of fundamental human rights and the right to life.
Paank urges the United Nations and international human rights organisations to take urgent notice of the escalating cases of enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings in Balochistan.

His family was left without any information about his whereabouts, beginning a month-long period of uncertainty and anguish. On November 2, 2026, Muneer Ahmad was killed and his body dumped in Nal, Balochistan.
His disappearance from his home and subsequent killing raise grave concerns about enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and the continued violation of fundamental human rights in Balochistan.

Paank strongly urges the concerned authorities to immediately disclose Saqlain Baloch’s whereabouts, ensure his safe and unharmed recovery, and bring him before a competent court of law, if he is in lawful custody. The authorities must also ensure the registration of an FIR, conduct an impartial investigation into the incident, and guarantee due process of law and the fundamental rights guaranteed under the state law.
