Pak-occupied-Balochistan’s long-standing tragedy of enforced disappearances deepens, with eight more cases reported across the region, painting a grim picture of the ongoing Army repression. The latest incidents further expose the Pakistan Army’s unchecked cruelty and its relentless oppression of the Baloch people.
In the Mashkay area of Awaran district, Pak forces have reportedly abducted two brothers, Masafar and Elahi Bakhsh, both shepherds, from Tunk Harkashan. Disturbingly, their elder brother, Gareebo, had already been forcibly disappeared by the same forces a week earlier. The family now faces unimaginable grief, with no information about their loved ones’ whereabouts or fate.
Similarly, in Zahidabad and Turatdan areas of Mashkay, two residents, Akhtar Muhammad and Gareebo, were detained and remain missing. Reports suggest they were abducted within the past week, adding to the alarming tally of forced disappearances in the region.
In Panjgur district, Pak forces and intelligence agencies intensified their crackdown, raiding homes in the Bonistan area. During these operations, Yasir son of Yaseen, Hayat son of Wali Muhammad, and Jaleel son of Abdul Khaliq were forcibly taken. According to their families, the men were abducted on January 19, 2025, around 5 AM. As is often the case, no reason for their detention was provided, nor has any information about their current location been shared.
The atrocities continue in Kech district, where Siraj Baloch, son of Nasrullah, was abducted by Pak forces in the Minaaz area of Buleda Tehsil on January 11, 2025. His family, like countless others, remains in the dark, agonizing over his safety.
These disappearances are part of a systematic policy of oppression employed by the Paki establishment since its illegal occupation of POB in 1948. Enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and the notorious “kill-and-dump” policy have been used as tools to silence dissent and crush Baloch aspirations for freedom.
