The mother of Kabir Baloch, who has been missing for 15 years, urged everyone to participate in the media campaign against forced disappearance held on Wednesday.

Baloch activist Mahrang Baloch posted a video message of the mother of Kabir Baloch, on social media X.

His mother emphasised that she did not receive any justice from the commission or the courts.

"It has been 15 years since the enforced disappearance of my son Kabir Baloch, and I have not received justice from the commission and the courts. Be part of the media campaign on 27 March, play your role in the recovery of all missing persons including Kabir, Mushtaq and Attaullah Baloch," she said.

Earlier on Wednesday, the Baloch community observed Black Day on March 27 globally. On this occasion, the Baloch National Movement in the Netherlands called for global attention to the Baloch genocide and organised a protest rally in Amsterdam.

The protesters holding placards and banners, denounced the forced occupation of Balochistan by Pakistan forces.

Highlighting their struggle, protesters emphasised how Pakistani forces annexed Balochistan on March 27, 1948.

In Pakistan's most underdeveloped area of Balochistan, the country's intelligence agency, Inter-Services Intelligence, has been accused of committing all kinds of atrocities, including, abduction, killing and torture, to instil fear.

Moreover, Baloch activists are signing a petition urging the international authorities to take action on the ongoing genocide of their community members.
