Nine members of a family have been missing since a military operation in Balochistan’s Kalat in 2016, according to Dr. Mahrang Baloch, the organizer of the Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC).
Dr. Baloch highlighted the ongoing issue of enforced disappearances in the region, describing them as a severe form of “oppression” against the Baloch people. She shared an image of a woman holding photos of the missing family members, who were allegedly abducted during the operation.
The missing individuals include Pakar Khan, Imam Dad, Abdul Nabi, Mir Muhammad, Daad Muhammad, Mustafa, Mir Jan, Sabz Ali, and Taj Muhammad. All are from the same extended family, and their disappearance has left their loved ones seeking answers and justice.
In Balochistan, enforced disappearances during military operations have become a recurring issue. It is common for activists, students, political figures, and ordinary civilians to be taken without legal procedures. These individuals often remain missing for years, leaving their families in prolonged uncertainty about their fate.
