Awami Tehreek Offers Condolences on the Passing of Dr. Haroon Ahmed Hyderabad: The central leadership of Awami Tehreek and Sindhyani Tehreek—including Advocate Vasand Thari, Hoorul Nisa Palijo, Advocate Sajid Mahesar, and Umarah Samoon—has expressed deep sorrow over the passing of Dr. Syed Haroon Ahmed, calling his demise a profound loss for all progressives.
Dr. Ahmed was not only a pioneering psychiatrist and dedicated human rights advocate, but also a fearless voice for justice, democracy, and social reform. During General Zia’s dictatorship, he stood by political prisoners at JPMC, where he formed a deep intellectual bond with Rasool Bux Palijo through powerful discussions on politics, philosophy, and resistance.
His contributions to mental health reform, human rights, and anti-nuclear activism were groundbreaking and transformative. Dr. Ahmed’s legacy of courage, compassion, and unwavering commitment to truth will continue to inspire generations committed to building a just and equitable society.
