🧵 Thread: The Disappearance of Baloch Activist Rashid Hussain
Rashid Hussain was a young Baloch activist who spoke against killings & enforced disappearances in Balochistan.
For that,two states — UAE & Pakistan — conspired to silence him.
This is his story.👇 #SaveRashidHussain

On Dec 26, 2018, Rashid was arrested by UAE security forces in Sharjah.
No warrant. No lawyer. No charges.
Just an abduction. #SaveRashidHussain

For 6 months, Rashid was kept incommunicado in UAE.
His family had no access.
Human rights groups raised alarm.
Still, silence. #SaveRashidHussain

Then came the betrayal.
In June 2019, Rashid was secretly deported to Pakistan — without trial, without due process, in violation of international law.
#SaveRashidHussain

Since that day, Rashid Hussain has never been seen again.
Pakistan denies holding him.
UAE washes its hands.
But both are guilty.
#SaveRashidHussain

If Rashid had committed a crime, why no trial? Why no court?
Because his only “crime” was exposing Pakistan’s atrocities in Balochistan. #SaveRashidHussain

UAE claims to be a land of law and justice.
But its actions against Rashid prove it is a partner in silencing refugees and activists.
#SaveRashidHussain

Pakistan’s death squads have long disappeared Baloch youth inside Balochistan.
Now, with UAE’s help, they reach beyond borders.
#SaveRashidHussain

For 6 years, Rashid’s mother has knocked on every door — Karachi, Islamabad, Quetta.
She still holds his photo, waiting.
Her tears are unanswered.
#SaveRashidHussain

Her demand is simple:
“If Rashid is alive, release him. If he’s dead, return his body.”
But Pakistan & UAE give only silence.
#SaveRashidHussain

This is not just a Baloch issue.
It’s a global human rights issue.
When states can abduct activists across borders, no refugee is safe.
#SaveRashidHussain

Pakistan says “we don’t have him.”
UAE says “we don’t know.”
So where is Rashid Hussain?
Someone is lying. In truth — both are.
#SaveRashidHussain

Evidence shows Rashid was handed to Pakistan in 2019.
But for 6 years, he hasn’t been produced in any court.
Why?
Because he was given to death squads, not justice.
#SaveRashidHussain

Every protest, every sit-in, every rally by his family is a reminder:
Rashid Hussain is not forgotten.
And neither is the crime committed by Pakistan & UAE.
#SaveRashidHussain

Rashid’s story proves:
🔴 Pakistan specializes in disappearances
🔴 UAE enables them
🔴 Families pay the price
#BalochGenocide
#SaveRashidHussain

Six years of lies.
Six years of silence.
Six years of a mother’s pain.
But Rashid Hussain’s name is louder than ever.
#SaveRashidHussain

Make no mistake: this was not “law enforcement.”
It was state terrorism — coordinated between UAE & Pakistan. #SaveRashidHussain
