KHUZDAR — In a deeply emotional public appeal, the family of Asma Jattak has called upon top provincial authorities, the judiciary, and human rights organizations to urgently step in, arrest those involved in her kidnapping, and bring her father’s killers to justice.
​The call comes shortly after the government’s announcement that Balochistan will form a high-powered committee to probe the Asma Jattak case, as law enforcement agencies continue efforts to arrest the main accused.
​Speaking out after enduring prolonged trauma, Asma’s sister described the unbearable toll the violence and threats have taken on their daily lives. The family has suffered a harrowing ordeal of ongoing harassment, culminating in the tragic murder of their father, Master Inayatullah Jattak, in Khuzdar.
​”These incidents have completely changed our lives,” she expressed in her statement, detailing how the family continues to live under a constant shadow of fear and insecurity. “We are not asking for any special favors—we only want the law to take its course and for every single perpetrator to be held accountable.”
​Key Demands Raised by the Family:
​Immediate Arrests: Urgent legal action to detain all individuals involved in the abduction of Asma Jattak and the murder of her father.
​Family Protection: Comprehensive security measures provided by law enforcement agencies to guarantee the safety of the surviving family members.
​Transparent Investigation: A fair, transparent, and completely unbiased probe, ensuring that no influential person remains above the law.
​The family urged the public and civil society across Balochistan to amplify their call for justice, emphasizing that immediate government intervention is necessary to restore safety and uphold the rule of law.
