Anyone who has covered Balochistan issue or case of missing person has come across this mother. She holds picture of her elder son "Zakir Majeed", who was allegedly picked up by state authorities on 8th June 2009. Zakir was Chairman BSO-Azad at that time, founded by Dr.Allah Nazar Baloch. Allegedly "Zakir was returning from Mastung with a couple of friends when they were chased and stopped by a number of vehicles; one Vigo with tinted glasses, two Hiluxes, one was red. The details of the raid were told to Farzana by Zakir’s friends who were picked up with him but were allowed to go 15 minutes later."
Zakir's mother joined VBMP camp(Voice of Baloch Missing Person) at Quetta in December 2018 & has been protesting at the camp for recovery of her son since then.

Zakir's younger brother was Babar Majeed alias Fareed Baloch & a sister named Farzana Majeed Baloch.
While the elder brother was MIA, younger brother decided to join the ranks of BLA. Babar was Communication Specialist as well as Social Media Handler for BLA - Majeed Brigade, a faction led by Aslam Achoo. Babar was close aide of Aslam & in 2018 was killed along him in Kandahar safe house. An audio recording released by BLA of attack on Chinese Consulate in Karachi, Aslam could be heard instructing Babar to post the tweet about the attack & issue public statement. Babar could also be heard suggesting the attackers to switch position for better 3g network in the area as the attack unfolded.

One can notice Babar's resemblance to elder brother Zakir
Coming down to the sister, Farzana Majeed Baloch. Farzana is former General Secretary - VBMP. In 2014, while protesting for the recovery of her brother She walked along Qadeer Mama from Quetta to Islamabad and made history. She had been given wide coverage on main stream media like Dawn, The News, & Express Tribune.
In 2015, Farzana along with Q.M were invited to speak at an event held for Human Rights violations in Pakistan. as they reached airport to board their flight, they were stopped by the immigration authorities and not allowed to leave the country.
Later in 2016, they managed to travel to US finally to attend a HR conference ( am not going to address how they reached US 2nd time, right now due to certain reasons). Once the conference ended, Farzana & Q.M went to visit their friend Nabi Bakhsh - Foreign Policy Advisor BNM in Philadelphia.

To be reminded Nabi Baksh is also a panelist & senior member of SAATH Forum
Nabi had a fallout with Q.M & Maskeen baba g had to leave US immediately. Farzana abandoned Q.M and decided to stay back in US.
Surprised that she left her ailing mother in Balochistan & her younger brother at State's mercy? how could she? or perhaps she already new that the younger brother is in safe hands of Aslam Bhai in Afghanistan?
After staying at Nabi's house along with his family, she moved on to next place & move on with life, start to settle in. She took assistance from another brother Hakim Baloch, an Iranian running NGOs in US. He helped her settle into US & seek asylum
Profile of Hakim Bhai will be shared some other time
Farzana is currently settled in US, enjoying her new life, perhaps forgotten about her mother??
She is working as Sales Associate at Bloomingdale outlet in Virginia

i just want to add that although I believe that case of Missing Person is genuine however they are certain entities who are exploiting the innocents for their personal agendas and that is what damaging the cause most.
