Zakir Majeed: 17 Years of Enforced Disappearance
Zakir Majeed: 17 Years of Enforced Disappearance
Today marks 17 years since the enforced disappearance of Zakir Majeed, a prominent Baloch student leader and Vice Chairman of BSO-Azad, who was abducted by Pakistani security forces on 8 June 2009. For 17 long years, his family has waited for answers, justice, and his safe return. Like thousands of other Baloch missing persons, Zakir remains a victim of a systematic policy of enforced disappearances in Balochistan.
Seventeen years is not just a measure of time — it is 17 years of pain, uncertainty, and suffering for his loved ones. His disappearance stands as a symbol of the ongoing human rights crisis in Balochistan, where families continue to search for their missing sons, brothers, fathers, and daughters.
A call for accountability
The international community, human rights organizations, and democratic governments must break their silence and hold Pakistan accountable for these grave violations.
