Baloch Mother’s Heartbreaking Plea for Missing Son Exposes Pakistan’s Forced Abductions

GG News Bureau
Balochistan, 15th May: A heart-wrenching video shared by the Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) has once again shed light on the grave human rights crisis unfolding in Pakistan-occupied Balochistan. The video shows a desperate mother clutching the Holy Quran to her chest, begging for the return of her son, who was forcibly taken by Pakistani security forces. “For the sake of the Holy Quran, return my son,” the grieving mother pleads, her cry resonating across social media.

According to the BYC, the missing youth, Naeem Bashir, a college student from Turbat, was abducted on February 5 without any legal procedure. The committee alleges that the Pakistani forces did not present an arrest warrant or initiate any formal trial, branding the abduction as yet another instance of state-sponsored oppression against the Baloch people.

“This is not just the cry of a mother; it is the voice of a nation,” the BYC stated. “No arrest warrant. No legal process. No court. No trial. We reject this erasure. We reject this oppression, where mothers must carry the Holy Quran to appeal to humanity.”

Calling these actions “war crimes,” the committee accused the Pakistani state of operating under a cloak of international indifference and domestic media silence. Despite repeated appeals, the global community has largely failed to hold Pakistan accountable for such grave violations.

State-backed abductions have become a systemic tool of repression in Balochistan, where students, intellectuals, activists, and political dissidents are regularly taken away under the pretext of national security. These individuals are often held in secret detention, tortured, and in some cases, killed extrajudicially.

Human rights groups have long criticized the Pakistani state for its heavy-handed tactics in Balochistan, yet little progress has been made. The families of the abducted are often left with no information, legal recourse, or hope for justice.

Despite these adversities, the Baloch Yakjehti Committee has vowed to continue its resistance, calling for international attention and accountability. “We will not be silenced. We will speak for the voiceless. We will resist,” the committee affirmed.
