In a scathing critique of Pakistan’s military and intelligence operations in Pak-occupied-Balochistan, Sammi Deen Baloch, General Secretary of Voice for Baloch Missing Persons (VBMP), addressed the 57th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) via video link, highlighting the severe human rights violations conducted by the Paki establishment.

Speaking before the international body, Sammi Deen warned that the actions of Pak security forces and intelligence agencies are creating a humanitarian crisis in POB, a region long plagued by military repression. “For years, the Baloch people have been subjected to systematic occupied-state violence, enforced disappearances, and brutal crackdowns by the Pak military,” she said.

Sammi Deen called on global powers to intervene and press Pakistan for the return of thousands of forcibly disappeared Baloch individuals, whose abductions have been orchestrated by the Paki establishment. “The international community has a moral responsibility to ensure the safe return of Baloch missing persons and hold Pakistan accountable for its atrocities.”

Following her address, Sammi Deen took to social media, reiterating his message to the UN body. “I informed the Council about the grave human rights abuses and enforced disappearances happening in POB at the hands of the Pakistan Army and intelligence services,” she wrote.

She also revealed that despite unofficial travel restrictions placed on her—an apparent attempt by Pak authorities to silence her and prevent his participation in the international forum—she was able to speak with the help of Front Line Defenders (FLD). “I am grateful to FLD for amplifying my voice and allowing me to continue my advocacy despite Pakistan’s efforts to suppress our struggle,” Sammi Deen said.

The VBMP and other human rights organizations have been protesting against the Pakistan Army and its intelligence agencies for orchestrating widespread abductions, torture, and killings of Baloch activists, journalists, and civilians in a bid to suppress dissent in the region. Sammi Deen’s testimony at the UNHRC further underscores the growing international concern over the Pakistan military’s role in escalating tensions and committing gross human rights violations in POB.
