On International Mother's Day, Baloch activist Sammi Deen Baloch accused Pakistani authorities of targeting mothers of activists who speak out against enforced disappearances in Balochistan, Pakistan. In a social media post, she recounted an incident where police attempted to detain her mother outside the Karachi Press Club. When questioned about her mother's 'crime,' police reportedly stated it was simply because she is Sammi Deen's mother and does not silence her daughter. Sammi emphasized that Baloch mothers are symbols of resistance, refusing to surrender to fear despite ongoing intimidation and arrests. Many continue to protest for their missing children, carrying photographs and demanding justice. Sammi described these mothers as 'revolutionary' figures who have transformed from symbols of silence into powerful voices against oppression. She honored the strength of oppressed mothers globally, particularly in Balochistan, amidst years of suffering and uncertainty.
