GWADAR, BALOCHISTAN: The Voice for Baloch Missing Persons (VBMP) has expressed concern over the enforced disappearance of Shaista Noor Kalmati and demanded her immediate and safe recovery.
The Chairman of VBMP, Nasrullah Baloch, said that we received a complaint from Zahir Noor, who said security forces raided the family’s home in Jiwani tehsil of Gwadar district on the previous night and took away his young sister, Shaista. He said the family has received no information about her since.
According to Zahir Noor, Shaista is a heart patient who has previously undergone heart surgery and needs continuous treatment, medication and medical care. He said there are serious fears for her health and life.
Shaista is the elder sister of Ali Asghar Kalmati, who was taken into custody by the Pakistani army on 16 April 2026 and forcibly disappeared, VBMP said. His family has still received no information about him.
VBMP chairman Nasrullah Baloch said that holding a citizen without meeting legal requirements and refusing to tell the family where they are is a serious violation of the country’s laws, the constitution and citizens’ fundamental rights.
He demanded that Shaista be safely recovered immediately, given urgent medical care in view of her condition and that her family be informed of her whereabouts. He said that if she faces any charge, she should be produced before a court in accordance with the law. He also called for the recovery of Ali Asghar and all other forcibly disappeared persons and for effective steps to stop such incidents.
