The family of Zaheer Ahmed has been holding a sit-in protest on Sariab Road, Quetta, for seven days, demanding his safe return. Zaheer Ahmed was allegedly ‘abducted’ by the Pakistani security forces on June 27 and has been missing since. Despite the ongoing protest, the family claims they have not received any response from the Balochistan government.
According to the family, Zaheer was ‘forcibly disappeared’ after being detained unlawfully. Their sit-in has continued for the past seven days, but they express disappointment at the lack of communication from the relevant authorities.
On Sunday, the family of Zaheer Ahmed organized a protest rally from Sariab Sessions Court to Balochistan University. The rally, aimed at drawing attention to Zaheer’s ‘enforced disappearance’, saw a significant turnout from various groups, including families of other missing persons, student organizations, political parties, and concerned citizens of Quetta.
