Islamabad, March 10 (NationPress) The Jeay Sindh Freedom Movement (JSFM) has strongly criticized the enforced disappearance of its Jamshoro district president Saeed Tiyono and activist Sabir Abro by Pakistani state agencies, describing it as a blatant example of state brutality, state terrorism, and a serious infringement on basic human rights.

The central leadership of JSFM has issued a warning regarding the initiation of a robust protest movement, which may include the blockade of the Jamshoro National Highway, unless Tiyono and Abro are released without delay.

In a collective statement, JSFM's central figures - Sohail Abro, Zubair Sindhi, Amar Azadi, Farhan Sindhi, Hafeez Deshi, Marak Sindhu, Hosho Sindhi, Mansoor Ahmed Hub, Muhammad Osama Soomro, and Tahir Khan - highlighted that Saeed Tiyono's sole offense was his unwavering love for his homeland, Sindh.

The statement, which was disseminated via social media, declared, "The Jeay Sindh Freedom Movement (JSFM) firmly condemns the enforced disappearance of Saeed Tiyono, President of JSFM Jamshoro District, who was abducted on March 5, 2026, alongside activist Sabir Abro by Pakistani state agencies. This act embodies a clear instance of state brutality, state terrorism, and a severe breach of fundamental human rights."

It further detailed that Saeed Tiyono has been vocal against the exploitation of Sindh’s resources and has advocated for the recovery and release of forcibly disappeared nationalist activists. He has been actively supporting and aiding those political activists who have been wrongfully detained under politically motivated accusations.

The JSFM has called upon the international community, including the United Nations, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and the UK Parliament and Government, to urgently address the ongoing enforced disappearances and severe human rights violations perpetrated by Pakistani state intelligence agencies in Sindh and Balochistan.

"We implore the international community to take decisive measures and raise their voices for the safe recovery and release of all forcibly disappeared nationalist activists from Sindh and Balochistan. Enforced disappearances represent a serious violation of international law and fundamental human rights, and the silence of the international community only perpetuates these crimes," the statement emphasized.
