Berlin, Jan 1 (NationPress) Shafi Burfat, the Chairman of the Jeay Sindh Muttahida Mahaz (JSMM), has urged the United Nations and the global community to urgently address the plight of all Sindhi political activists who have been forcibly disappeared. He called for accountability for Pakistan's military and intelligence agencies under international law.

The Sindhi leader accused these entities of acting with unchecked authority, arbitrarily detaining Sindhi political activists engaged in peaceful political activities.

He noted that many individuals have endured severe torture, extended unlawful detention, enforced disappearance, and extrajudicial killings. Hundreds of Sindhi activists remain unaccounted for, hidden in clandestine detention and torture facilities, lacking any judicial warrants, formal charges, or legal recourse.

“Pakistan has transformed into an unnatural, authoritarian, and militarized state, where historic nations are oppressed through the political exploitation of religion and the dominance of a centralized, unanswerable military establishment. In Sindh, this framework has led to systematic political oppression, economic exploitation, and the erasure of national identity,” Burfat expressed on X.

“We, the Sindhi nation, unequivocally reject this system of oppression and demand liberation from a state that criminalizes secular and national political movements, including the Jeay Sindh Muttahida Mahaz, while simultaneously supporting religious extremism, militant networks, racism, and feudal elites,” he added.

The Sindhi leader officially alerted the United Nations and the international community regarding numerous Sindhi political activists, such as Ijaz Gaho, Sarvech Nohani, Sohail Bhatti, Pathan Khan Zuhrani, and Sarvech Sargani, who remain unlawfully detained by Pakistan's intelligence agencies.

He highlighted the anguish of their families, parents, spouses, children, and siblings, who are left in total uncertainty, unaware if their loved ones are alive or dead.

“These arrests and disappearances represent severe violations of moral values, ethical standards, human dignity, international human rights, and humanitarian law,” Burfat stated.

The Sindhi leader called on the global community to demand the revelation of the location of those who have been forcibly disappeared and to ensure their safe and unconditional release.

Burfat emphasized that the suffering of the Sindhi people is exacerbated by the fact that powerful nations continue to support Pakistan politically, militarily, and diplomatically, prioritizing “strategic interests over human rights, justice, and the survival of oppressed nations.”

“This complicity allows Pakistan to persist in its crimes while enjoying protection and legitimacy on the global stage. A state accused of systematic enforced disappearances and political repression continuing to be treated as a ‘partner’ signifies a moral failure of the international system. This is not just a tragedy for Sindh; it is also a matter of profound shame for the global conscience,” he remarked.
