Reviews

[Bushra · Rating 4 out of 5]

A moving account of enforced disappearances in Baluchistan. A story you don't want to hear about, and definitely talk about. He didn't give graphic descriptions in his book, that could have been completely nerve-racking, even then his narration is all the more heart-breaking!

What a fucked up country do i live in.

[Saba Imtiaz · Rating 4 out of 5]

An excellent compilation of incredibly poignant interviews of those impacted by the campaign of enforced disappearances in Balochistan - one of the most under-reported stories in Pakistan.

I am writing this review to let everyone know that Zakir Majeed,Dr Deen Mohammad and everyone in the book is still missing. There are only empty promises and no accountability.
The atrocities in Balochistan have increased, there is no hope left for so many families. It sometimes feels like Pakistan wants another Bangladesh to happen.

A very well-presented short, emotional and infuriating read.

[Omar Khan · Rating 5 out of 5]

'Mein thak chuka hoon boltay boltay, rotay rotay, aur apni dastaan-e-gham sunatay sunatay. Agar sirf khud-kushi mazhab mein haraam na hoti tou mein apney aap ko maar chuka hota. Arsa daraaz se adalat mein humara case chal raha hai, magar mera beta meray saath nahin hai. Mein parha likha nahin hoon, Chief Justice se kis tarha baat kar sakta hoon?' - La-patah larkey ka walid.
