Shafi Muhammad Burfat, also known as Shafi Burfat (Sindhi: شفيع محمد برفت); born November 25, 1965, is the founder and current chairman of Jeay Sindh Muttahida Mahaz; a separatist and liberal political party in Sindh, Pakistan who believes in the freedom of Sindhudesh from Pakistan.
Burfat is a fugitive escaping persecution since 1994. Media has reported that Shafi Muhammd Burfat had fled to Afghanistan where he established his control center in Kabul.[1] [2] But some photographs and a column in The daily Jang newspaper has reported Shafi Burfat's presence in an event on Human Rights in UN headquarters at Geneva.[3]
On 1 April 2013 home ministry of Pakistan declared JSMM as a terrorist organization and imposed ban.[4] The Crime Investigation Department (CID) of Sindh police and Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has added Shafi Muhammad Burfat to its Red Book for his alleged separatists actions against Pakistan.[5]
Burfat has rejected the Pakistan government's portrayals of JSMM as a terrorist organisation and has instead said "it was not hidden that Pakistan government has been nurturing and sponsoring extremism and providing safe havens to terrorist groups".[6]
