The Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) has raised its voice in condemnation of the enforced disappearances of a woman from Khuzdar and two men from Kharan. The committee claims that such acts are part of a larger campaign of Baloch genocide carried out by the state through extrajudicial killings, harassment, and abductions.
Details of the Abductions
- Khuzdar Incident:
In the early hours of the morning, state-sponsored death squads raided a home in Khuzdar and forcibly abducted a woman, violating Baloch cultural values. - Kharan Incident:
Meanwhile, two brothers, Mubarak and Hafiz Ali Baloch, were abducted in Kharan by state forces, further intensifying fears among local communities.
Protests and Family Resistance
The victims’ families have taken action:
- In Khuzdar, the family of the abducted woman staged a protest by blocking the main RCD road, demanding her immediate release.
- In Kharan, the families of the disappeared brothers have staged a sit-in in the Red Zone area, calling for their safe return.
Condemnation and Global Appeal
BYC has condemned these actions, calling the abductions “inhumane and cowardly” and criticizing the harassment of protesting families by state authorities. The organization has urged Baloch unity and called on human rights organizations to join the fight for justice.
Balochistan’s Growing Crisis of Forced Disappearances
Human rights groups have accused Pakistani forces of escalating their campaign to instill fear among Baloch communities. The call for an end to forced disappearances and accountability from authorities continues to grow stronger.
Global Call to Action
The BYC has urged global human rights organizations to speak out against the ongoing atrocities and advocate for the restoration of justice in Balochistan.
