Rashid Hussain Baloch was arrested by UAE intelligence agencies from UAE on December 26, 2018. On July 3, 2019, according to Pakistani media, he was moved to Pakistan through Interpol.
However, Baloch political parties including Rashid Hussein’s Faimly, have denied Pakistan’s claims, saying that Rashid Hussain was illegally deported via a private plane to Noshki city of Balochistan on June 22, 2019.
Rashid Hussain’s Faimly has also appealed human rights organizations to help in Rashid Hussain Baloch’s recovery.
