A human rights organization criticized the alleged enforced disappearance of a minor by Pakistani forces in Balochistan. The Baloch National Movement’s Human Rights Department reported that on January 13, Pakistani forces raided the home of Lal Jan in Kech district and took his son, Talib Hussain, into custody. Talib Hussain, who worked in agriculture, had faced physical assault and threats before being taken to an undisclosed location.
The enforced disappearance of Talib Hussain has caused distress to his family, especially women and children. Baloch Voice for Justice disclosed that three more civilians were forcibly disappeared by Pakistani forces in Balochistan. These incidents are part of a concerning trend of enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings in the region.
Farhad Baloch from Kharan district, Rahimdil from Kech, and Hasnain Qambrani from Quetta are among the recent victims of enforced disappearances. Baloch Yakjehti Committee highlighted the case of Noman from Kech, who was extrajudicially killed after being missing for nearly two months. Noman’s body, showing signs of torture, was found in the Tump region.
