8 June: Baloch Missing Persons Day
On the occasion of 8 June, Baloch Missing Persons Day, BSC Wafaq and Punjab announce a comprehensive awareness campaign to expose the ongoing policy of enforced disappearances and other grave human rights violations being carried out against the Baloch nation.
Enforced disappearance is not merely the disappearance of an individual but a systematic attempt to silence political dissent, suppress national consciousness and instill fear within Baloch society. For decades, thousands of Baloch men, women, students, intellectuals, and political activists have been forcibly disappeared, while their families continue to endure uncertainty, suffering and the denial of justice.
The targeting of Baloch students and youth has become an alarming feature of this policy. Educational institutions, which should be spaces of learning and intellectual growth, have increasingly become sites where Baloch students face surveillance, harassment, and enforced disappearances. Such actions reflect a broader effort to curtail the political and social participation of the Baloch people.
Through this campaign, BSC Wafaq and Punjab seek to shed light on the plight of Baloch missing persons, amplify the voices of their families and challenge the normalization of enforced disappearances. We call upon students, political activists, journalists, human rights organizations and civil society to stand with the families of the disappeared and raise their voices against this continuing injustice.
8 June is not merely a day of remembrance but a day of resistance against silence, impunity and oppression. Until every disappeared person is accounted for and justice is delivered, the struggle for truth and accountability will continue.
