Two more Baloch civilians were forcibly disappeared by Pakistani forces amid a growing wave of enforced disappearances across Balochistan. Condemning the incidents, Paank, the Baloch National Movement’s Human Rights Department, said that Hamdan, a native of Dasht in Kech District, was reportedly taken from his residence in Karachi on December 30 by the Pakistani intelligence agencies. The rights body described the act as a grave violation of fundamental human rights and the rule of law. 

 

According to Paank, another Baloch civilian, Yasir Nasir, was reportedly detained by Pakistani forces during a late-night raid in the early hours of December 31 in the Gowak area of Mand in Kech district.

 

Paank said that since his arrest, Yasir’s whereabouts remain unknown, causing grave concern for his safety and well-being. Amid the escalating violence in Balochistan by the Pakistani forces, the bodies of four unidentified people were recovered from a deserted area about 22 miles from the Zinda Pir area of Harnai district in the province.
