Islamabad: Families of Disappeared Stage Sit-In for 48 Days Amid Heavy Rain

In Islamabad, families of forcibly disappeared individuals in Balochistan, along with relatives of detained Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) leaders, have been holding a sit-in for 48 days, demanding justice, accountability, and the release of their loved ones.

Despite persistent heavy rain on Monday, elderly women, young children, and other family members continued their protest on the roadside, without shelter or basic facilities. Pakistani authorities, rather than engaging with the demonstrators’ legitimate demands, have reportedly imposed road blockades, restricted access, and harassed participants, preventing them from setting up a camp outside the National Press Club — a location traditionally used by victims and human rights defenders to raise their voices.

Human rights observers say the prolonged neglect and mistreatment of these families reflects a broader pattern of systematic suppression of peaceful dissent in Pakistan.
