At least four Baloch civilians were forcibly disappeared in Balochistan by Pakistani forces this week, as reported by human rights organizations. These incidents add to a rising trend of enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings in the region. The Baloch Voice for Justice (BVJ) condemned the abduction of 29-year-old Irfan from Quetta, emphasizing the violation of fundamental rights and international law.
The BVJ also highlighted the case of two brothers, Balach Hassan and Ehsan Hassan, who were taken from their home in Gwadar district by Pakistani security personnel. Their whereabouts remain unknown, prompting calls for their immediate disclosure and safe release. The Baloch National Movement’s Human Rights Department condemned the enforced disappearance of Muhammad Hassan, a religious cleric from Quetta, expressing concern over his repeated targeting.
Furthermore, the Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) revealed the extrajudicial killing of Noman from Kech district, whose body showed signs of extreme torture. Noman had been forcibly disappeared for nearly two months before being found dead in the Tump region. His family members disclosed that he was detained by Pakistani armed forces along with his friend Ismail, who was also killed.
