Amnesty International, an international rights group, held a program to commemorate World Human Rights Day on Friday in Hagen, Germany. The participants addressed the human rights issues confronting different regions of the world, including Balochistan. Amnesty International said that the Pakistani security forces are involved in the enforced disappearances of political activists in Balochistan.

Amnesty International said that we are aware of the grim situation confronting the Baloch nation. The Baloch, by the virtue of their culture, are unique among the other communities residing in the region. Amnesty said that the security forces target the political workers and their families in Balochistan – they are forcibly disappeared, imprisoned and tortured for years and, killed and their dead bodies are thrown in the wilderness.

Amnesty International distributed pamphlets detailing the enforced disappearances of rights activist Rashid Hussain, student leaders Zakir Majeed and Zahid Baloch, political activist Dr Deen Muhammad Baloch, Asad Baloch, Ramzan Baloch and several others. The rights asked the Pakistani authorities for the safe release of the aforementioned and all the other Baloch missing persons.
