Rashid Hussain, a Baloch activist who was reportedly abducted from the United Arab Emirates and subsequently extradited to Pakistan, has been missing for nearly five years. According to his mother and sister, Fareeda, his whereabouts remain unknown and he has not been seen or heard from since his disappearance.
Despite exhaustive attempts to seek justice through legal and constitutional channels, Rashid Hussain’s family claims to have seen no signs of justice being served. The Pakistani security agencies deny involvement in Rashid Hussain’s extradition, but Rashid Hussain’s mother affirms she possesses definitive evidence to the contrary.
As the five-year mark of her brother’s disappearance approaches, Fareeda Baloch expressed a sense of urgency and despair. She explained, “My brother was a voice for the oppressed, and today, more than ever, we need his voice.”
In a call to action, Fareeda has urged human rights activists and social media users to join the #SaveRashidHussain campaign on Twitter, scheduled for June 22.
