International Outcry Over Mahjabeen Baloch’s Disappearance and Pakistan’s Human Rights Record

The disappearance of Mahjabeen Baloch, a Baloch student, has drawn condemnation from human rights organizations. Taken a month ago, she has not been seen or heard from since, and her brother, Younus, has also disappeared. The VBMP reported that Mahjabeen was taken by state agents at Civil Hospital Quetta. The VBMP highlights the violation of human rights and calls for her safe return. Sabiha Baloch from the BYC condemned the lack of official answers and the practice of enforced disappearances. Amnesty International has called for a prompt and thorough investigation, citing Pakistan’s failure to uphold international human rights obligations. The case has highlighted the larger issue of the suppression of Baloch voices and the violation of human rights in Pakistan.
