The Jeay Sindh Muttahida Mahaz (JSMM) has raised serious allegations against the Pakistani government, claiming that prisons in Sindh have become sites of systematic torture and human rights abuses against political activists and ordinary inmates. JSMM chairman Shafi Burfat stated that detainees are subjected to severe physical and psychological abuse under the supervision of prison authorities and state agencies. The organization reported that many political prisoners are held in solitary confinement, often chained, and are denied essential medical care, leading to deteriorating health conditions. Furthermore, JSMM alleges that inmates receive poor-quality food and contaminated water, exacerbating their suffering. The group also criticized the restrictions on family visits and communication, viewing these measures as attempts to mentally break the detainees. JSMM has called for intervention from international bodies such as the United Nations and Amnesty International, demanding an end to torture and politically motivated arrests. To amplify their message, JSMM plans to hold protests in Germany and reach out to global media and human rights organizations to shed light on what they describe as state repression against Sindhi political workers. They assert that the struggle for national rights and freedom is protected under international law and cannot be extinguished through imprisonment or torture.
