The Jeay Sindh Muttahida Mahaz (Sindhi: جيئي سنڌ متحده محاذ, pronounced [dʒiːeː sɪŋd̪ʱ mʊt̪eːɦɪd̪a məɦaːz] ; translation: Jeay Sindh United Front; abbr. JSMM lit. 'Long Live Sindh United Front') is one of several major[8][9] separatist political parties in Sindh, Pakistan, that advocate for the separation of Sindhudesh from Pakistan. Founded in the year 2000, by the veteran Sindhi nationalists belonging to the Sindhudesh movement who left JSQM.[10] The founder and the current Chairman of party Shafi Muhammad Burfat is living in exile in Germany under political asylum.[11]
Pakistani Law Enforcement Agencies have been accusing JSMM for violence in the province[12] and it had been also reported that prior to his asylum in Germany, the Party Chairman Shafi Muhammad Burfat had been living in Kabul, Afghanistan.[1] On March 15, 2013, through an official decree, Pakistan's Home Ministry proscribed JSMM as a terrorist organization and banned its freedom of association and speech.[5]
A significant rise in the Human Rights violations in Sindh have frequently been witnessed in previous years and Human rights campaigners are thoroughly concerned about the enforced disappearances and extra-judicial killings of JSMM leaders and activists.[5] Former Secretary General of JSMM Muzafar Bhutto was abducted and killed by Pakistani Agencies.[13] Senior vice chairman of JSMM Sirai Qurban Khohaver and three others were set ablaze near Sanghar, Sindh.[14]
