Pakistani forces have allegedly abducted a coal miner from Shahrag area of district Harnai.
According to sources, the man is a miner by profession who was taken into custody by the forces on his way to work on December 10 and transferred to an unknown location, who is still missing.
The abductee has been identified as Jalal Khan son of Mashkiani.
It is believed that the issue of missing persons in Balochistan has taken a serious turn. Nationalist circles blame the Pakistani army and intelligence agencies while the authorities deny the allegations.
Recently, Dr. Moeed Yusuf, National Security Adviser to the Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan, claimed that in most of the cases of missing persons from Balochistan, those who were fighting against the state or elsewhere, unfortunately could not survive. The victim families and journalists reacted strongly and condemned Yusuf’s comments.
