Quetta: The Chairman of Voice for Baloch Missing Persons (VBMP), Nasrullah Baloch, has expressed serious concern over the continued enforced disappearance of Baloch student Mahjabeen and her brother, Younus Baloch. He described the failure to present them in court as a “grave violation of basic human rights.”
In a statement, Nasrullah Baloch said that it has now been one month since Mahjabeen, a resident of Basima, was allegedly picked up by security personnel from Civil Hospital Quetta on May 29, 2025. Since then, she has not been produced before any court, nor have her family members been provided any information about her whereabouts.
According to the VBMP, Mahjabeen’s family reported that she was taken into custody without due legal process and moved to an undisclosed location. They further alleged that a week prior to Mahjabeen’s abduction, her brother Younus Baloch was also detained from their home in Basima. His current location and condition remain unknown as well.
Nasrulllah Baloch emphasized that the ongoing silence and lack of legal procedure in both cases are deeply concerning and constitute a serious breach of constitutional and human rights.
He urged the provincial government and heads of national institutions to take immediate action to recover Mahjabeen and Younus. “If they are accused of any illegal activity, they must be brought before a court of law,” he said. “Their family deserves answers, and the state must act within the framework of its own legal system to relieve them from the agony of this uncertainty.”
The VBMP has long campaigned against enforced disappearances in Balochistan, a region plagued by years of unrest and allegations of rights violations by state authorities. The disappearance of Mahjabeen a student highlights the growing concern over the targeting of civilians, including women and youth, in the name of security operations.
