From Quetta to Islamabad to Karachi, Baloch families are sitting on roads, in heat, in rain only because the state has left them no other path.

Their demand is simple: Stop enforced disappearances. Stop killing our children. Release the missing.

📍 Quetta

On August 5, the mother of 17-year-old Ehsan Syed, shot dead by Pakistani forces near Lak Pass, Mastung, set up a protest camp outside Quetta Press Club.

For over 10 days, she sat under the burning summer sun, demanding justice for her son. Instead of justice, Ehsan’s mother faced harassment, intimidation, and surveillance.

On August 15, Quetta police arrested her inside the protest camp — along with her little daughter. Both were illegally detained, tortured, and later deported back to Mastung.

📍 Islamabad

On June 14, families of detained Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) leaders along with enforcedly disappeared victim families tried to stage a sit-in outside National Press Club.

Federal police blocked them, using abuse and threats to silence their peaceful protest.

Through rain and harassment, the families kept demanding:

•Release of BYC leaders

•End to Enforced Disappearances

•Stop extrajudicial killings in Balochistan

But Islamabad’s response has been repression as always not justice.

📍 Karachi

Outside Karachi Press Club, the family of Zahid Baloch, a 25-year-old student of International Relations at Karachi University, continues their sit-in.

Zahid worked part-time as a rickshaw driver to support his family.

His father, Abdul Hameed, battling Hepatitis, is too weak to protest — but has no choice.

A sick father, a disappeared son. A family forced to beg for justice.
