Reports have surfaced of three more cases of enforced disappearance of Baloch youth, allegedly at the hands of Pakistani forces. The latest incidents were reported from Karachi and Quetta, deepening concerns over the ongoing trend of forced disappearances in the region.
According to sources, Gulzar Alam, a resident of Panjgur and a fifth-year student at Iqra University Karachi, along with Naseer Ahmed, son of Naseem Ahmed and a resident of Karachi, were allegedly picked up by Pakistani forces from the Gulshan-e-Iqbal area of Karachi. This marks the fourth such case of enforced disappearance of Baloch youth from the city within 24 hours.
Meanwhile, in Quetta, security forces allegedly detained Bashir Ahmad Muhammad Hassani, a resident of Brewery Road, from the Brewery area on February 21. His whereabouts remain unknown since the reported abduction.
Human rights organizations and Baloch activists have repeatedly voiced concerns over the ongoing pattern of enforced disappearances in Balochistan and other regions. Despite calls for accountability, families of the missing individuals continue to await justice.
