Quetta, Dec 4 || At least three civilians were forcibly disappeared by Pakistani forces in Balochistan, amid a growing wave of enforced disappearance across the province, a leading human rights organisation said on Thursday.
Expressing grave concern, Paank, the Baloch National Movement's Human Rights Department, mentioned that three residents of the Tijaban Singabad region in Kech district of the province were abducted in separate incidents on December 1.
The victims were identified as 50-year-old teacher Master Rafiq, who was allegedly taken by Pakistan's Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) personnel from the Deputy Commissioner's Office (DC) in Kech, and a student, Zubair, who was abducted from Turbat city by Frontier Corps (FC) personnel. Additionally, a 52-year-old police constable, Khudadad, was detained by FC forces in Turbat.
"Their whereabouts remain unknown, heightening fear and distress among their families and community," Paank stated.
Highlighting the atrocities in Balochistan, Paank on Wednesday revealed that another two Baloch civilians fell victim to enforced disappearance at the hands of Pakistani forces in Kech.
