Jsfm Claims Crackdown On Sindhi Nationalists In Sindh

On March 1, 2026, the Jeay Sindh Freedom Movement (JSFM) intensified its allegations of a crackdown on Sindhi nationalist activists, claiming that state institutions in Pakistan are targeting its members through raids, arrests, and enforced disappearances. JSFM Chairman Sohail Abro stated, "Authorities recently raided the residence of Mohammad Osama Sumro, organiser of the JSFM UK Chapter," where family members reported mistreatment and desecration of portraits of prominent Sindhi leaders. Abro emphasized that these actions are retaliatory measures against peaceful protests organized internationally, including demonstrations outside 10 Downing Street in London. He highlighted that over 200 Sindhi activists remain missing, with long-standing cases such as activist Talib Laghari missing since January 2025 and Allah Wadha Amhar abducted at the age of 14 over a decade ago. The JSFM has appealed to international organizations like Amnesty International and the United Nations to address these human rights violations in Pakistan.
