Foreign lord holds the helm as Hayatullah breathed his last in desert

The desert burned beneath a blazing mid-summer sun. It hung overhead like an enormous ball of fire, as though it could scorch everything in sight into ashes. In every direction stretched endless grey sand, shimmering under the relentless heat. There were no trees, no shade, no homes—nothing to suggest that life had ever existed there.

But the closer one walked, the clearer it became that it was nothing more than another trick of the desert, another ribbon of sand masquerading as hope.

Government to compensate enforced disappearance victims; exclude NHRC from probe

The government is set to enact a comprehensive law soon to recognize enforced disappearance as a distinct criminal offence and to ensure protection, justice, and compensation for victims and their families. The draft Prevention and Remedies for Enforced Disappearance Act, 2026 proposes life imprisonment and fines as the maximum punishment for enforced disappearance. It also provides for the death penalty in cases where the victim dies as a result of the disappearance, the body is recovered, or the missing person remains untraced even after five years.
