A three-day protest camp will be set up in Islamabad from August 29 to August 31, marking five years since the disappearance of Asif and Rasheed Baloch. The protest aims to draw attention to the unresolved cases of their disappearances.
Both Asif and Rasheed were among ten individuals reportedly detained on August 31, 2018, by Pakistani forces while they were on a picnic in Nushki. While eight have since been released, the whereabouts of Asif and Rasheed remain unknown. Their family alleges that despite repeated appeals to authorities, and demonstrations in major cities like Quetta, Karachi, and Islamabad, there has been no progress in the case.
The protest, scheduled to conclude with a rally coincides with the International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances on August 30. As part of the day’s observance, the Voice for Baloch Missing Persons (VBMP) will be hosting a seminar in Quetta, addressing similar incidents.
