Pakistani security forces have allegedly taken a young Baloch man into custody, who has since gone missing. The victim has been identified as Samiullah Kurd.
According to family sources, Samiullah Kurd was detained during a raid on his house in the Sariab area of Quetta on Sunday early morning. Since his arrest, there has been no information about his whereabouts, raising serious concerns among his family.
This incident comes at a time when protests against enforced disappearances are already ongoing across Balochistan. Families of missing persons, activists, and human rights organizations have been staging demonstrations, demanding the safe release of their loved ones and accountability for those responsible.
Enforced disappearances have been a longstanding and grave issue in Balochistan, where Pakistani security forces and intelligence agencies have been accused of abducting political activists, students, and civilians. Various human rights organizations, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, have repeatedly condemned these actions, calling for transparency and justice. Despite these calls, enforced disappearances continue to be reported, further escalating tensions in the province.
The latest disappearance of Samiullah Kurd has intensified fears among the local population, adding to the growing list of missing persons in Balochistan. Rights groups and activists continue to urge the Pakistani government to take immediate steps to address this crisis and ensure justice for the victims and their families.
