The Jeay Sindh Freedom Movement (JSFM) organized a significant protest rally in Sann, commemorating the 30th death anniversary of the notable Sindhi leader and thinker Saeen GM Syed. The rally carried the message: 'Sindh Demands Freedom: Rejection of All Canal Projects; End Enforced Disappearances and Illegal Disposal of Political Activists' Bodies in Sindh and Balochistan.' This slogan was reiterated in a press release from JSFM.

During the event, JSFM Chairman Sohail Abro harshly criticized the Pakistani state's involvement in human rights abuses, particularly highlighting the enforced disappearances, unlawful detentions, and assassinations of Sindhi and Baloch nationalist activists. Abro declared, 'The state has turned Sindh and Balochistan into oppressive regions where cries for freedom and justice are harshly suppressed.'

Concluding at the mausoleum of Saeen GM Syed, the rally paid tribute to his legacy. Participants honored his grave with flowers, recited the Sindhi national anthem, and reaffirmed their commitment to a peaceful struggle for Sindh's independence. JSFM stresses global intervention concerning Pakistan's controversial projects and the suppression in Sindh and Balochistan.
