Recently, Pakistani security forces have reportedly abducted another young man from the Kech district of Balochistan following a house raid. The abducted individual has been identified as Balach Hasil, who was forcibly disappeared during a raid in the Hothabad area of Tump, Kech.
Eyewitnesses stated that Balach, the son of Hasil and a resident of Hothabad, was taken from his home by the security forces without any explanation or official charges. His whereabouts remain unknown, raising grave concerns about his safety and well-being. The incident has intensified fears over ongoing enforced disappearances in the region.
These abductions have ignited widespread outrage and calls for justice, as families tirelessly search for information about their loved ones. The ongoing human rights violations have only deepened tensions in the region, fueling local resentment and increasing demands for accountability.
Enforced disappearances have become alarmingly common, with cases rising daily. Despite continuous documentation of these incidents, little has been done to investigate or hold those responsible accountable, leaving the issue unresolved and further eroding trust in authorities. (ANI)
