The Baloch Hal News

QUETTA: Mother of Zakir Majeed, a young Baloch student leader who was picked up allegedly by secrete agencies on 8th of June 2009, has appealed from human rights organisations, media personnel, democracy loving people and Judiciary of Pakistan to help her in securing safe and sound release of her beloved son.

In a statement issued here on Friday, she said that the only crime of her son was his brightness and being vocal who stood for Baloch rights. She said that the constitution of the country guaranteed the right of freedom of expression and his son had been using this right over the injustices being done to Baloch people. She said that if the right to express his opinion was regarded as a crime by the law enforcing agencies then her Zakir Majeed should be tried in any court of law rather than being kept in torture cell illegally.

She said that disappearance of Zakir Majeed for more than one year was causing mental distress to the family and added that his (Zakir Majeed’s) life was also under serious threat in torture cells. “Our family is under constant pain and psychological pressure because of illegal detention of my son”, she added.

She made an appeal to United Nations, European Union, International and National human’s rights organisations and media to exert pressure on Pakistani government and establishment in order to release her son including scores of other Baloch youth.
