Civil society organizations have called for a protest tomorrow against the enforced disappearance of Zarnosh Naseem, a resident of Pak-occupied Kashmir. Naseem, a courageous son of Bagh district, has been missing since August 13.
This case marks a concerning development, as incidents of forced disappearances in Balochistan, are now being reported in Pak-occupied Kashmir. Activists warn that the situation is rapidly deteriorating, with fears of more challenging times.
The protest is scheduled for August 23, 2024, at 2 p.m outside the Islamabad Press Club. Organizers aim to draw attention to Naseem’s case and the broader issue of forced disappearances in the region.
This incident has raised alarms among human rights advocates, who see it as a potential expansion of a practice that has long plagued other parts of Pakistan. The coming days may prove crucial in determining the authorities’ response to these growing concerns.
