Human rights activists and Baloch leaders have initiated a social media campaign to locate Rashid Hussain Brohi, a Baloch journalist and human rights advocate who has been missing since 2018.
Exiled Pakistani journalist and human rights activist Taha Siddiqui took to Twitter, urging people to raise awareness about Hussain’s disappearance and pressure the Pakistani military for his release.
Siddiqui emphasized that Hussain was abducted from Dubai in 2018 and subsequently handed over to Pakistani authorities, but his whereabouts remain unknown.
He called on international human rights defenders to join the campaign and push for Hussain’s safe return.
Prof. Nida Kirmani from Lahore University of Management Sciences also appealed for support in a video, stressing the importance of reuniting Hussain with his family.
Mahrang Baloch also took to X to show her support for the cause.
Imaan Zainab Hazir Mazari showed the world the atrocities Rashid Hussain’s mother has to bear in order to find her missing son.
Amnesty International previously voiced concerns about Hussain’s case, stating that he was detained without warrant by Emirati authorities and faced the risk of deportation to Pakistan, where his life could be in danger due to his activism in the Baloch National Movement.
