Adeeba Baloch, daughter of disappeared Baloch activist Zaheer Baloch, conducted a late-night protest on Panjgur's CPEC Road, urging for the release of her abducted brother, Zeeshan Baloch. As reported by the Baloch Yakjehti Committee, Zeeshan was seized by a state-backed death squad on June 29, 2025. The family, targeted for their activism, is engulfed in despair.
Sammi Deen Baloch, a prominent Baloch rights advocate, highlighted on social media the cruel reality faced by Adeeba Zaheer, who confronts state repression once again. Both BYC and Sammi stress that the family's efforts remained peaceful—focused on sit-ins and rallies—yet were met with oppressive tactics.
On June 30, Zeeshan's body was found tortured and killed, marking another horrific incident in Balochistan's cycle of enforced disappearances. BYC condemned the act and demanded accountability, citing it as evidence of systematic targeting of Baloch families. The region suffers from chronic human rights abuses, urging international bodies to intervene.
