A 24-year-old pregnant woman and her 3-year-old daughter have been missing for over 40 days after armed kidnapping in Kashmore, Sindh, allegedly over a matrimonial dispute.
A woman named Nazia Khoso and her daughter Kausar Khoso were allegedly abducted from Khair Shah Road near Kandhkot, Kashmore, Sindh.
Human rights activists and civil society in Sindh have held a number of protests across the province, demanding the safe recovery of the woman and her daughter.
For the last 40 days, Nazia Khoso and her innocent child are in the custody of the feudal lords of Kashmore Kandhkot. @SindhGovt1, the police fail to recover them despite the passage of so many days.

Last month, police booked a number of protestors holding a demonstration event in Kashmore for the release of Khoso and her daughter, drawing condemnation from the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP).
The HRCP condemned the registration of the FIR, saying that the commission’s member was also booked by the police under terrorism charges.
The HRCP also urged the authorities to recover the woman “immediately”.
The human rights watch had also expressed alarm over the armed kidnapping of Khoso and her daughter.
