A mutilated dead body of a man has been found near Mastung.
According to The Balochistan Post correspondent, the body was recovered from a locality called Laako, near Mastung on Thursday.
The local administration took the dead body to Civil Hospital Mastung for identification, however, the identity of the deceased has yet not been ascertained as the body is ‘badly decomposed’.
Scores of decomposed or mutilated dead bodies have been found from different parts of Balochistan in last few years. Many of the bodies have later been identified as those of the missing persons.
In a similar incident on Monday, a dead boy was found from Kulanch area of Pasni. The body was identified as that of Babo, a man who had gone missing on 11 August 2018.
Family of Babo accused that he was ‘abducted’ by Pakistani security forces.
The term ‘abducted’ is widely used in Balochistan to connote arrests made by security forces as the arrested are not presented before court of law and instead kept in military camps.
According to Voice for Baloch Missing Persons (VBMP), a campaign group by families of victims, more than 20,000 Baloch men, women and children are under Pakistani custody. VBMP also alleges that at least 5,000 missing persons have been killed and dumped over last one decade.
International campaign groups including Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International also accuse Pakistani security forces as the culprits of ‘illegal abductions in Balochistan’.
Pakistani Military denies the allegations.
